That's not my point.

What's your point then? That someone might use cultural artifacts from another culture in a respectful non-offensive way, and that is bad?

Speaking as a person with synth experience, the UI is already cluttered and confusing with the needed symbols. Adding unnecessary stuff makes it more cluttered, hence my question.

Furthermore the choice of symbols and the amount makes it a bit cliche'.

This has nothing to do with respect. I don't see anything offensive, just unnecessary.

That's a really fair assessment, even if I disagree with it, so I appreciate you replying.

Apologies for being a bit aggressive in my earlier reply, I was just struggling to figure out what else it could've been, given your original comment didn't give much in terms of "why", so I jumped to a strong (and, in retrospect, incorrect) assumption. I totally understand your issue with it now.

Imo it looks pretty clean and tasteful for its intended purpose, but this one is very subjective and a certain "we can agree to disagree" point, because I can easily see why it could feel too cluttered to some.

It’s a noise generator. It’s funky and having a noisy interface adds to the appeal for me.
