I went down a rabbit hole trying to resolve this for some modules myself but didn’t find any products useful for it (Sharpy will work, but I feel it would look a bit ugly…) - I still think there must be some kind of liquid version of stage-lighting gels that could help dampen them - but I haven’t found anything…
Mutable Instruments Blades could literally land planes the LED’s are insane on it.

I’ve got some neutral density gels that come as small stickers which work well if you’ve got a flat-ish surface for them.

Off topic/on topic- if you’re fighting overly bright leds on gear (qubit data bender I’m looking at you) these sort of stickers come in super handy: https://www.amazon.ca/LightDims-Black-Out-Electronics-Appliances/dp/B009WSN8PK
There’s different levels of light blocking available from a little to 100%.

I use a Japanese masking tape called Washi tape. It works wonders on ultra bright LEDs and doesn’t permanently mark anything up. I use tiny pieces of the white Washi tape and layer it until I get the desired level of brightness on the LEDs. It’s totally saved my eyes.

That manatee sounds like a buy for me. Might be my first kickstarter.

I figure they’re probably not great for exposed LED’s but maybe good if there’s a screen over them!
I considered plasticoat (as it’s also removable), spray some into the lid and use a fine paint brush - that’s the closest thing to a good idea I got but realised I was starting to get a bit carried away
Shot a few cool videos today. Mainly a great sound demo of the motor synth. Played with it a bit myself as well. Crazy thing.
Also played with pulsar23 for the first time. Damn 
I shouldn’t have done that.
Think I’ll release a video or two this weekend.

Putting on small bits of gel would be frustrating. I might just sharpie it.
Where?
There is little to no new info on the Winter Modular / Plankton Electronics Zaps. Please go and check it out everyone! I am really interested in the module as a sample source.

Does it require oil for the motors?

That would be cool because you would tied to maintaining it in between sessions
