He had the option to just build synths that were inspired by the originals, but he copied literally everything, circuits, trade dress, name. Behringer is a parasite company, once you do anything innovative they come and copy it cheaper and people buy it for that single reason.

It’s cool we have cheap synths, when they actually do something original I’m all for it, but trademarking the Oberheim name and mocking journalists is distasteful. I know a lot of small makers and I cannot name a single person respecting Uli.
