I’m not some tech genius who could spot a fake product a hundred miles away. I’m just not a gullible dumbass

      I unapologetically despise TE. Their synths are underpowered, overpriced bleep bloop squonk boxes with intentionally obscure UI because “aesthetics”, but their cult following just eats that shit up when there are a bazillion other, cheaper, more capable devices out there. It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that they had a hand in this disaster of a device and I hope their reputation suffers for it.

          Exactly. And people fucking loved those things back when I was more active in the music scene. Having one was like a talking point. People would pull them out in the middle of conversations at gigs. Never mind that you can get a used Volca for not much more, that does more with a better UI, and most of them do actual MIDI, not just sync. But you don’t see people walking around with those in their pockets because Korg don’t have a fucking cult.
