I could swear I've posted the same post as yours in an another topic. This is hillarious how many praised the Deckard's Dream but hate it if Behringer is going to clone the CS-80, same with Shears Oberheim clone they supported that kid with his crappy desktop synth but hates it when Behringer clones the OBXa. SH101? Same story, there is an another company thats cloning this synth, they've recieved a lot of positive comments but not when its Behringer.

The only instruments they clone are those that are simple enough to be made super cheap and with schematics long in the public domain. The CS80 might be old, but it is still incredibly complex and hard to replicate. To do so would require actual R&D and a significant investment... Never going to happen.
How do you know they won't clone it? Complexity, yes but it's still possible. Stop acting like this CS-80 is some kind of futuristic weapon with advanced technology.
Uli himself said that the OBXa is a complex synthesizer, and they're still working on it. Since their other clones sound identical compared to the original synths I'm not even surprised if their CS80 clone will be spot on.
The schematics are available recreating the PCB's won't be an issue, with the proper equipment it's easy to reverse an IC. Behringer has the money and time to do that. Even without schematics if you have the PCB you can recreate it.
They sure know how to promote their products on the internet, IMHO thats a smart way to promote your goods since it's basically free and it saves a lot of money.
