  • The best take I’ve read so far is, paraphrased,

    “It was an asset flip that got too popular for its own good. Instead of being able to slowly trickle sales over the course of a few months, it got mass purchased and effectively forced their hand.”

    The idea being that if it hadn’t gotten so popular, it would have just been an asset flip to trickle in sales with no long term support or updates. Instead it got so big that and with no real team (dunno about this) there was no way for them to abandon it without this scenario. So better to close for optics than close for a step away from fraud lol.

    If that was the intent, then yeah it was a scam regardless. And if it wasn’t the intent, then I don’t understand their reasoning. I would guess that if it got really popular and sales were coming in, that would incentivize them to continue it rather than closing shop?




  • Ah I guess some made it sound a little cooler than it is, my apologies for the hope!! It’s just a Casio HT700 that I got at a thrift, it’s not bad but it’s not anything super special.

    I had bad syntax, I have some aged synthesizers, one from the 80’s… That’s the only one lol, I think my others are mostly from the 2000’s, like the gakken sx-150 and the midiman oxygen 8, an Ibanez Bass Synthesizer pedal (SB7). Oh, speaking of pedals I do have a Snarling Dogs Bootsy Collins Wah/Fuzz which is pretty neat!
