These are basically the same synths in different frocks. Version A doesn't have the pop-up Envelope Editors but you do get a little graphic below the sliders to show you what it looks like. I kind of like it but I think Version B might actually be more usable. Whaddya reckon?

Version B makes me want to tweak it more. I like envelopes.
They're both very handsome.

Version A just seems cleaner and more unified to me.

This is a really difficult decision. I prefer the layout of B, but I prefer the envelopes of A

I think at the end of the day I'll go with B though.

Prolly not what you want to hear, but a hybrid of both would be best. I like sliders for envelopes, but LFO and other thigns should be a knob or some other device. If I had to choose, my gut said B for aesthetics, but I think A is prolly more usable after further study.

B
But still a bit too small for my taste.

A looks "prettier", but B looks more usable ...

I like the slider layout in A (similar to the old ARP stuff), but I'd be more inclined to use the envelope set-up from B. (voted B)

Like tuzemec, though, I'd much prefer a larger GUI. Old eyes and large monitors at high res really make larger GUIs my preference.

Parameters of version A look like they'd be more exact than the envelope of B (wider pixel range), but version B looks like it could be easier to use in a live situation.

Aesthetically, both are looking great.

I've always preferred B though I prefer sliders. I think the vertical text bugs me a bit. I prefer the drop box yellow text of A.

They're both nice. I voted B because I don't like veritcal labels. I end up turning my head sideways.

B, but with the less distracting background from A

Which GUI Works Best for You?

Whaddya reckon?
