Quite cool but I don't think I'd go for all those colours.

I'd probably have each section colour-coded, or just go for blue (to match the screen). As it is from the factory, the orange, red, and blue don't quite seem to go together.

This is just matter of your imagination

Some color i did like that because they are links... i mine Saw osc1 is orange and Saw osc 2 also. the same with lfo.
I want to made a "color recognize" thing to avoid mistakes when i need to think fast and i did it

Now it is time for M3 and this will be difficult work due to specific leds with lens mounted originally in M3 and also i want to make full back light.. I cant find anywhere like that so i will use similar. You know... all this case with red leds are pretty hardcore because they are works on low voltage this is a big challenge. The standart voltage for red in korgs are 1.9V. The white, blue needs more than 3.0V. I need to use very bright leds to make it work anyway so far i win

Very colorfull, but not my taste. Now that xmas is near it gets that special note.
Did you calculated the additional power consumption (blue and white LEDs need more voltage and hence more power) and checked if the internal volage regulators have enough reserve?

Well the problem is... the new leds worka at low voltage and the amperes are the same(they are less bright). So i need to buy the brightest in market to balance voltage vs brightness. At full power they are very bright. For example the white in maximum have 1800mcd but in korgs they work with fine brightness.
The consumption of all leds is 1.72A the PSU have 3A/9V
but remember that they are never light all in the same time

so... dont worry but thanks for advice

It would be great to have different colors for each section... and maybe change the colors when you're editing Vocoder

Remember that there are only 5 colors so 5 different sections.
