via Randel on the Rhodes Chroma mailiing list:"I've been through many revisions of the front panel graphics of the knob box that I am building for myself, and present the latest at: link [pictured]
I've taken some liberties with the nomenclature ( Filter instead of Cutoff, eg.), and the sequence of parameters from left to right in an attempt to make the interface more intuitive.
Upon the movement of a knob, the 2x16 LCD display will show the name of that parameter on the top line, and the value of the parameter on the bottom.
I have an 8 knob prototype built, and the immediate accessibility it provides dramatically changes the experience of playing the instrument - it's a whole new world!
I plan to have a 96-knob version complete in March, which I will photograph and videotape. If it functions as expected, I will explore the possibility of making a production run for interested parties.

BTW, if you own a Rhodes Chroma and aren't yet on the Chroma list, I highly recommend you join. You can find info on how on the excellent Rhodes Chroma website. Be sure to check out the site for more. The site and the list are constantly bringing new live to this incredible synth.
