Agree on that, but this topic was about beautiful design, not about good design.

Horrible IMO.
In 2115 all synths will look like this

Then in 2015 we will all be blind...............

Most beautiful synths I have and most inviting to load and play/tweak/design with are:
1. Retrologue
2. Massive
3. PadShop Pro
4. Vacuum Pro
5. Oberheim SEM V

Nicest Drum instrument is Battery 4 (Love its interface design

)

Synths that I don't have but I think they have very beautiful and inviting interface:
1. Diva
2. Razor
3. Largo
4. Spire
5. Monark

Threre are many others as well like Diversion, Zebra, Serum, Dune, Blue, Albino, Alchemy ..etc but I tried to just list the ones that has/had the most 'wow' factor for me

To second some of that, I really like NI interfaces in general. They look good, mostly easy to use and quite functional. Absynth being the exception

I really love Absynth as a synth. So deep and capable synth but the interface is not easy on the eyes although it matches the weird sounds it can produce!

Oh, I can't believe that I forgot to mention Reason's synths as very inviting ones to play with especially Subtractor and Malstrom. Thor also has a beautiful interface. If they only make them bigger little bit, but I'm afraid that the vectorizing will make them without a soul

Anyway, we will see what version 9 would bring.

Oh and two others that I had to give some love on looks...Though I dont use Waves codex nearly as much as element I do feel they created another gorgeous synth interface...

and this little guy bundled with studio one. I havent actually found much of a use for it myself but always found its simplicity and light color scheme easy on the eyes.
