In fact the GUI for the British Channel IS groovy! Go watch any Austin Powers movie to see what I mean.
Bright colours themselves are not responsible for something being given the designation "groovy" or "psychedelic". They have to be arranged into an attractive pattern that is actually groovy.

Like this...

I prefer this one

Sorry but if "vomit" has been thrown around here (well THAT didn't sound right at all!) I'd apply the description to that bus way more than the British Channel any day. I'm definitely fond of psychedelic designs (love George Harrison's "Rocky" guitar, as an example of what think is less vomit-like than that bus above) but that bus is truly vomitous to me.

I thought it was the last KVR get-together?

I like the way it looks, frankly.

*shrug*

It actually looks better in use than the smaller screenshot photos I've seen here.

Yep the screen shots, especially the small ones, make the gradient background look aweful. Full size it isn't so bad, and at least it is usable, there are plenty of plugins with worse user experiences. It just could be so much prettier. It deserves to look better

Click to see one not auto-resized for KVR, and you can see them all here: http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/tr ... and-images

Edit - though opening directly may put it on a very bright white background - best probably to just try it out on your system.

I think I'll do that!

That GUI is very pseudo-macaroni. The gradient warps are insane.

I think it wouldn't be so bad if only the knobs were colored or if the rings reflected the position of the knob by color such as:

Would the current GUI keep me from buying the plugin ? No.

Does the current GUI make me want to buy the plugin ? No.

Would I prefer a less colorful GUI ? Yes.

Check this one out. I prefer this look without colored rings.......

I'd still like a version more in line with the other TRacks plugins but this might be a compromise for those who like the current version.

This new SSL channel strip from IK Multimedia looks great
