Blue says "Korg MS2000" to me.
And Mono/Poly and Polysix. Classic Korg synth color. I chose it. Red would be my choice in a "Best color SH-101" poll.

As (probably maybe) the only person who has had all of them at the same time in front of him I have no idea although I also do not really like the gold.

That said, the gold was the first one I sold, followed by the blue so THE PEOPLES HAS SPOKEN
the blue is viscerally appealing to me but I probably wouldn't get it

i voted blue. gold is my least favorite, a remnant of my hatred for gold hardware on guitars

I hate gold on everything. Gold painted cars are the ugliest cars. This is more like oh that one's gross I want that

Unrelated to paint schemes, I think having a microtuning / save-your-custom-scales (as long as they're 12 notes or less?) feature on a monophonic synth is totally some marketing bullshit so they could brag about partying with AFX. I had some gear that allowed microtuning way back in the day, and it basically existed as a feature to make that instrument totally incompatible with everything else in an arrangement. Also, IIRC, it's a lot less difficult to microtune when you can hold more than one tone at a time. So yeah Korg *makes WTF gesture with hands, SMDH*

Silver looks nice with the wood, but then you start to wonder if it will get worn out like a dingy old laptop. Just ordered blue, so I'm glad to see I'm in good company here. This will be my first synth! Does this mean everybody will go back to guitars now?
Also, red synth for me =

Or an old boombox. But isn't the finish on the Monologue paint on metal so therefore less likely to come off?

Also if they made a desktop/rackmount version I'd buy one immediately. I know that someone's done a mod to remove the keys and rework the case, but they used a milled aluminium plate to cover the gap, which I didn't like the look of.

Or at least a 3 octave C-C mini key version. That 2 octave E-E looks weird and I have no idea why Korg made that decision over 2 octave C-C.

To make monologue a synth that any musician can immediately pick up and play, the keyboard covers the E–E range of notes - just like a guitar or bass.
As a guitar/bass player, this sounds totally stupid but everything else about it worked for me. I just figured I could use a midi controller if I needed a different range.
