Actually I think that might be a little unfair in the case of 'Bristol'
which aims to emulate a number of "classic" electronic instruments and
goes to some length to emulate the original controls as well. 

Of course you can run the synthesizer without the UI at all if that
really grabs you. Then you get to control the thing using the real
knobs, sliders and switches on your MIDI controller keyboard without
worrying about the screen representation.
