I asked myself if is normal thing, that polysix is very hot on the rear panel (in the zone showed in pictures ). The maximum hot temperature zone is locate in the rear panel about at the meedle of it, looking at the front panel the zone is above: eg intensity - kbd track - eg mode - attenuator

Mine is warm too on the rear panel. I think this is the way it is. I think
the vents of the power supply are mounted on the panel.

This is normal as the power supply heatsink is attached to the metal
case just behind the big 'Korg' logo. The case is used as part of the
overall heatsink.
