<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="DefaultFontHxMailStyle"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">I think, what this means, is that companies (like Doepfer) who make their bread and butter making, essentially, copies of the bread and butter stuff will be in trouble.
If your business model depends on making your own versions of System 100 or Moog System 55 modules, you’re going to have a bad time..<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="DefaultFontHxMailStyle"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="DefaultFontHxMailStyle"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">But a company like Make Noise? Tip Top Audio? Industrial Music Electronics? QuBit?<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="DefaultFontHxMailStyle"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="DefaultFontHxMailStyle"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">I think they stand to gain, here, because people will be able to get the bread and butter cheaper, leaving more money to spend on the main course. That could potentially
grow the market quite a bit. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="DefaultFontHxMailStyle"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="DefaultFontHxMailStyle"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">So I think the effect will be the opposite: It’s the copycat companies that are going to get knocked out of the market.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="DefaultFontHxMailStyle"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">For me, as a long time Eurorack user (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/noisetheorem/">https://www.instagram.com/noisetheorem/</a> if you want to see pics of the system),
I don’t have the slightest interest in any of these modules. None of them are particularly interesting to me since I’m not into it for nostalgia. I could see a lot of people jumping on board, though. If that forces creators to be more innovative in their
product line, so be it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">and don't mind helping a company rip off other companies designs.<br>
And now the Moog 55.<br>
<br>
People already complain about "how expensive" something new is, and <br>
there's a reason, it takes time and money to innovate.<br>
<br>
For me, and a lot of people I know, Behringer entering the eurorack <br>
market will mean the death of a lot of innovative and creative companies <br>
as we don't have the chinese factory at our hand to churn out 1000s of <br>
modules for a few pennies. so good bye creativeness, hello copycat <br>
ripoff.<br>
