A korg MONOPOLY! It looks like something a medieval knight would of designed. The dank contrasting colors, all the knobbage that resembles metal rivets on a weapon, the menacing KORG logo affixed to the top of the interface etc......
If I were a MONOPOLY I would look quite at home tucked away in the corner of someones medieval torture chamber

a midi controller.
i'm empty, cheap, have alot of useless features, but can be quite useful for people with communication difficulties and i can be quite controlling at times.
