My "Customized" MicroKORG

[OMNI26]

Certainly not a radical customization, but I made new side panels for my MicroKORG.....I made them out of poplar, and painted them with at least 8 coats of red lacquer. Much thicker than the original thin wood side panels, too.

Now it (sort of) matches my Nord Electro & Nord Lead on stage!

Taint bad dooley! But why not green to match the fonts?

So it would match my Nord gear onstage, actually.

But, now that it's got both red and green, I suppose it has sort of a Christmas theme, huh?

Depends on exactly what you associate red / green with.

It would certainly looks more nordish on top of the Nord Stage. I'd put a matching nord red sticker on top of the big "program select" knobs for the purpose and overall design.

It makes me want to make a full custom painting of my MK. It would probably be something about painting the whole plastic casing in a Clavia red colour, paint the big knob in the same red or black colour. The endcaps would probably be painted black, just to keep some sort of a frame.
In the end I probably wouldn't do it. Just some concept thoughts

Hmmm.....now you've got me thinking. Yes, a red knob might look cool! Thanks!

Paint a spiral on top of the knob.

Well, it does match the MK's leds.

I imagined something like this:



And then some wooden pitch and mod wheels in the same style as the pitch stick on the Nord

Does the word "custom" only apply to cosmetics? Do any of these individual models come with internal changes (like aftertouch)?

red and green matches my school colors, good choice...

we are the loggers which matches that other pic nicely =P

That would be Red Green and his nephew Harold.
