from spyrows pic - I'd like to ask in the spirit of the opening post about usefulness, accessibility, visual priorities etc:

why are the pans are so huge & prominent?

they are simply not as important or as regularly adjusted as mute/solo in the grand scheme of things yet they appear to be the 2nd most prominent thing in the panel.

users either set pan once and never again or automate pan in which case the pan handle is then pointless in terms of visual feedback.

so why give it a lead part in this play?

Also the phase button seems to be in its own 'supermarket car park' of space that could be utilised by something crucial like the fader which is significantly shorter in comparison.

reducing that space and giving less prominence to the pan would give more space for fader and meter.

this is not an FR... just food for thought perhaps!
