I know nothing about synths, I don't immediately hate their style in general at least judging by like the rabbit and the boombox and stuff (soooooooooo overpriced though), but the concept of selling a bare PCB as a "product" for $100+ and a shitty looking silicone case as a "pro" add on for another $30 is pretty shitty. They're cashing in for sure. I guess that's not a crime but its not for me
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.
ah damn
