As one frame of reference, I've always felt the commercial developer that consistently has great UI is u-he.

Yes. There are quite a few that are good in following the guidelines, and U-HE is definitely one of them. I even made a thread a few years ago, where I shared pictures of good and bad synth GUIs. That was very interesting, but for this thread it is already way too much. The basics are more important here.

(My all-time favorite of U-HE GUIs is the Tyrell, btw )

The original gui is nice but there are many guis made by users which you can download here:

Just copy elements from: TDK 80's - 90's digital watches, roland synths, kenwood amps, casio watches, star wars space ships, star trek tng GUI's and the first ironman prototype (the silver one). That's good design in a nutshell.
