Best color Monologue

Gold in a landslide btw

Gold is the only one I don't like!

black vs. blue

red and gold are corny

Gold + fat permanent marker, really

silver has the best contrast between labels and background so you could actually read them under dim light

silver & black are for people who buy things already thinking about resale value

wish minilogue came in black

Voted black, it's just classic. I don't really dislike any of them, though in my mind red synth = Nord, forever.

Gold compliments the silver of the Minilogue.

red synth = Nord, forever.

otm. voted blue.

i still want a minilogue. :(

Blue says "Korg MS2000" to me.

very good point.

no purple, no credibility

silver & black are for people who buy things already thinking about resale value

silver is for people that actually play shows as opposed to hobbyists that just like cool shit in cool colors

that too

I like the silver because it looks like someone took my copy of Rebirth and turned it into hardware

I wish the gold had inverted keys actually

basically I just need a very tacky prop synthesizer is what I'm realizing here

this should be the strict color palette of all dry goods produced from now til the end of times imo

plus white

no, green

true, immediately regretted white

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

enjoy your Buick Century synth

basically the IMM version of my str8 fire beautiful kix schtick

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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*

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I'm going back to bed

at least gold lost

Red was sh101 before nord

'totally incompatible with everything else in an arrangement'

ur doing it wrong? korg does love to namedrop afx in every monologue vid ive seen

xp Red was Compute-a-Tune (1978) before SH101

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 =

like a dingy old laptop

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.
