this past weekend I had some spare time and did something I wanted to do for a minute, painted my microkorg. It was pretty fun, pretty frustrating at one point, but all in all ended well and cost me under 10 dollars in spray paint...end result is ultra flat camo black aka megabadass!

I'd love to switch those white keys out with the limited editions black keys, but you know, no biggie really-def. better than the standard gold trim IMO

Nice job man...looks so much better that way.
You should've painted over the program selections (Trance, techno, retro etc.) I hate that shit.

thanks, that whole sheet comes off and has the all the writing on it you can kind of see that it is secured by the four hex top screws...one of the reasons I decided to paint it=so I wouldn't have to worry about putting lettering back on

Cool, I didn't know that. I probably couldn't take just that section off though it's all one piece, huh? All the other stuff is pretty helpful when I'm editing my own sounds.

Awesome, I always thought the worst thing about the MK was its colour scheme!


Mind you the XL looks pretty freakin sweet!

The wood ends are standard, but you could easily sand 'em down and refinish with a new wood stain.
