It was always coming, I just can't expect that it won't be terrible though. Everything they do is a step down from the state of the art in terms of sound, build quality and usability. At least it'll be cheap.

I'm gonna flip my s**t if they actually end up using the name "PHAT-108".

Who expected Arturia would be the ones to the ones to bring affordable analogue back to the synthesizer market?

Who expected Korg to re-release the Odyssey (eventually)?

Whatever happens, it'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

I still remember all the years of people saying analog synths would never be made on a large scale again :D

I most definitely do not want a Juno-type synthesiser.

Shall we try not to s**t on this before we know any details? ;)

Could be interesting.

Wonder if they'll sell these in Tandy Alan?

Analog was never affordable. Unless you count stuff like pAiA kits (Gnome, anyone?), $500 was the cheapest I remember...SH-101...and that was in 1980s dollars.

Volcas, Brutes, etc. are the most affordable analogs ever.
I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

Yeah the analogue giants of the early 80s were NOT cheap. $7000 for an OB-8. People seem to think it was easily affordable just because it was "the 80s".

However the Junos and JX's were more affordable, and the Alpha Junos were very affordable.. :keys2:

By today's standards, cocaine was a lot cheaper in the 1980s, too.

I couldn't even afford any of the Junos, Polsixes, JXs, Bits, Siels etc. Couldn't afford cocaine either (though I didn't care much about that).

I remember coming across an April Fools prank online about 10 years ago with Behringer announcing a $300 analog.

Whatever they do, I wouldn't be opposed to a hybrid or a VA. Behringer isn't exactly known for tight QC, and getting away from analog relieves them of some of that responsibility. Additionally, a VA would give them a chance to innovate at low-cost, as I would be more interested in seeing something distinct, novel, and new hit the market, than a poly rehash of something in the style of a Minibrute or Bassstation.
