Korg Mono/Poly

The back panel does get hot yes.  you should be able to still touch it but it is hot.  The power supply/distribution board KLM 376 heat sinks are attached to the back panel at this point and so heat is meant to transfer here.

Hey guys Does everyones MP's back panel heats (warms) up quite extensively after around an hour of use? 
Is this normal?

So, I've never measured the temperature of my Mono/Poly, but I had the same concern as you regarding my Korg Polysix. I took measurements of it. Maybe it'll help your thinking regarding your Mono/Poly...

Yes it is normal. If you have a look at
http://fa.utfs.org/diy/korg_monopoly/monopoly_open_full.jpg
you can see a longish horizontal pcb on the rear side with three large 
transistors mounted at the backplane. These three transistors voltage 
regulating transistors use the back panel as heat sink. So it is normal 
that the backpanel gets quite warm.

Yes. That is normal.
