All we need is a couple of sliders and knobs and such. It's quite straight

Ah, is that all we need? I never realised it was so simple. Can I have them
in some dull, boring grey colour with sad square boxes? You know, something
that really inspires and that will convince every iPad user that their ubercool
GUI are a total waste of time. Can you do that for me? That would be a killer!
Even almost every GUI toolkit sliders fails when used for
anything serious in audio. Try tuning your oscillators in
e.g. AMS when the auto-resizing frequency slider happens to
have 27.142857 steps per octave.
For stuff like this you need a way to enter precise values with a
corresponding text box anyway.
Though the old fan slider idea was a pretty good one...
