  1. Just this morning Behringer announced the production of a negative cost analog moon guitar. That’s right, negative cost! The most intelligent business model there is. Behringer will PAY YOU to use their analog moon guitar, rendering this ridiculous attempt at a product, obsolete and churlish.

      1. No one in their right mind would bash Behringer, they sound better than the originals, the designs are super unique, and their whole business is based around ethics.

        1. My dear friend, there are only two type of companies in this world: those who manufacture in China and charge you a lot for their products (high prices, lower sales, and those who manufacture in China but offers lower prices (lower prices, higher amount of shipped goods).

          But, of course, I’m sure you only buy instruments, clothes and food produced in totally ethical, biological, vegan etc work environments, and always ask to visit their plants beforehand and check the workers’ conditions. Because, really, a 500$, made in China, Korg MS-20 mini, is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from a 700$ Behringer DeepMind. Right?
          Or, option number two, you only buy Made in USA (USA! USA! USA! Those bloody Chinese!) synths, because… you either spend 3000$ per gear or you’re a stinky tramp!

      2. I think he is the same loony that wrote nasty comments insulting my girlfriend just because I called him an anti Behringer troll on YouTube.

        No he is too delusional to get paid, he has even worse mental issues than me…LOL.

  2. Oooph, hmmm, and eeeesh. (in that order).

    As for the actual topic. Seems fine. That kind of tone is so “specific” in terms of its connotations. However, it could be interesting to hear it in other non-specific contexts.

  3. It’s a really atmospheric-sounding instrument, I like it. Check out the demo on the site by Oliver Patrice Weder – beautiful.
