Cheap knockoffs of mixer designs was always a bit on the nose for me but always saw it as a given in the marketplace. So I’d prolly see that new MIDI controller in the same light. Not overly fussed about them cloning/resurrecting vintage synths when plenty of other companies have been doing the same.
But bullying/suing/silencing critics seems like an absolute dick move. Ditto for the whole Oberheim trademark shennanigans, although I’ll reserve my final personal judgement until that one’s been sorted. Which is a real shame because I might’ve otherwise been quite happy to buy their 303 clone.
Edit: If people are happy to support B regardless, then that’s their choice - consumers gonna consume. Not gonna pass judgement even though I’ve been personally attacked by fanboys on gearslutz.
