Haters gon' hate... But yeah. I'm hating ub, music group and especially behringer. 

Aside from crap audio quality and built quality, I heard stories of how awfully he treats his employees.

Things have gotten ridiculously ‘privileged’ in the mid- / high- end and I think its time for a shakeup in terms of consumer expectations.  Behringer kind of do that in general, so I understand the hate .. but if the thing sounds great, which I think it does based on the demo’s so far, then this is going to be a wakeup call to the guys who’ve been ripping us off with 5-figure prices for similar features, and that .. in my opinion .. is a good thing.

Behringer comes out with a crap 12 voice with glossy effects and horrid colored wood sides for cheap, everyone goes crazy and will never pay over 1k for a synth ever again. Dave Smith and all go "well it was fun while it lasted... again" and pack up and disappear into the netherverse, again. Elektron starts making arranger romplers with built in speakers "just like analog but more voices." The voice war begins. Korg, confused, makes the Biggielogue which is a Triton with keys twice the size of regular keys. Teenage Engineering starts making lamps, but they were planning on doing this anyway. Roland comes out with another digital 303. Moog partners with Yamaha and reintroduces the Model D again, this time saying that Bob always meant for it to be digital. It uses YouTube compressed samples of the dx100 streaming from the internet and is capable of 1 billion voices (not multitimbral.) The first attempt to use it in unison mode causes the moon to crash into the earth.
