There was a big European company that used to use this technique a lot (I'll update once I can think of the name). Put out something shocking, get people talking about them, then make a quiet apology. Rinse and repeat.
A pretty risky business proposition even with the apology, but SYNTHROTEK (never heard of them) is making it even riskier by condoning the initial insult.

They sell modular stuff, so, here is one person at least who will not be using them in the future...

Never heard of the company or their products and don't know what is supposed to have been said to cause the **** storm, but to be honest if I liked their stuff and wanted to buy it I couldn't give a rat's arse what they say on social disease sites which seem to me to be full of people just waiting to be "offended" by something.

The only thing I see are pictures of Weinstein and then Clinton with the tag line "Buy More Synths!"

And if you read some of the responses, Synthrotek says, "It's a slam on consumerism". To me it's confusing more than anything else. Full disclosure - I have some Synthrotek stuff. Further disclosure - I've seen many people here post far worse stuff. So if you're all upset about this then I hope you have blocked everyone here who's ever posted something vaguely inappropriate or else why are you still coming here?
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.
