Posting this one here vs. MATRIXSYNTH-B for the Control Freak & its box & manual shots to the left.  The Control Freak was a programmable MIDI slider box that you could map to edit different synths and MIDI gear.  Packaging, design, and marketing materials always fascinate me as it gives you an idea of what sort of feel the manufacturer was trying create, or not, in some cases.  I thought this one was particularly interesting.  Orange on white.  The design reminds me of something out of the 40s or 50s if not earlier. Any design or font buffs out there?
