Some REs really have artistic and creative back panels.
What are your favorites here?
Creative back panels - what's you opinion.
Features on the back panels are really easy to forget about for me, so sometimes I see it as a downside. Not to mentions they aren't automatable. But here are my favorites.
* Lectric Panda's Shape has a great back panel with all the different color coordinated CV outputs. It looks really cool. I'll go head and mention Korde, too. Sure, it's CV outputs are the heart of the device, but I just love that it has so many. I might as well mention I like seeing the Lectric Panda logo on the back, too.
* Sononic's Revival has it's mod matrix on the back. I actually wish more synths did that. I'm not a huge fan of the way a mod matrix can take up so much space. I suggest this idea to just about every synth developer I beta test for, but none have implemented it.... yet!! I'll keep working on them..
* Blamsoft's VK2 is modular heaven. It's perfect back there.
* Jiggery Pokery's organ synths have a lot of hidden gems on the back. Nice!.
* AudioRealism's ALB3 has a handful of knobs hiding on the back. I was glad to see them move a few to the front in the last update for automation purposes.
* Robotic Bean's Elementary is a great device. I love all the different pulse patterns outputs on the back. Also, MC-1. It's back panel makes it well worth the $999 asking price.
* Red Rock Sound's C1-L1 has some goodies hiding on the back, too.
* Pitchblende's Autotheory has some knobs and switches on the back which are useful.

I like back panels with lots of holes in them and realistic stickers, riveted plates, power cables, etc. JPs stuff is pretty hard to beat.

Some of the devices have animated fans and such. I can't remember which ones, but that's a really cool idea. And I also like the devices with some humor on the back.... again, drawing a blank as to which one's are "funny" but there are a few in the shop and in my rack.
As I remember in Reason 1 the performance switches were on the front.

The uhbik devices have some of the most artistic back panels, I think it's the granular one that has the cool neon green design, all of them have some trippy graphics on them (that's my vote for the artistic side of it, but for most practical I'd say expanse or any of rob papens devices, at least in expanse the cv connections all make sense. For example oscillator pos, modifier, mod env filter one and two and so on expanse wins most practical but RP devices are runner up imo
