MicroKorg XL Ugliest synth ever created?

Honestly I thought that this was a joke. It looks like late 70s basement trash.




But its a real synthesizer about to be launched by Korg.
I hope that the case is pretty beefed up or that the unit is really heavy; otherwise some people will really think this is something they found in storage, getting peed on by rats for 40 years, at your church.

Hopefully the presets are really nasty sounding, and the knobs make that audio crackle sound when you turn them. This is too old, even for me. Here is a link to the Music Radar Article w/ video.
