This is a very cool synth!
It looks to me like the GUI communicates with the synth-engine using OSC.
If that's true, then someone who does not like the layout or look of the original GUI could build their own completely custom GUI for it!
The Khagan tool for doing this uses GTK and GTK themes. Or someone who prefers PureData or Ingen could probably control it with those too.
If I were to use it live, I'd probably not use the GUI at all, and instead use my little python script that translates MIDI CC's to OSC messages, so I can use the buttons and knobs on my Novation to control it.
