Context makes it seem more likely that he was talking about the =
Organelle - stupid-cheap as it is.

At least I hope that the stupid-cheap product has an awful noise floor =
compared to the expensive, boutique product.

The rest of the list was me just piling on=E2=80=A6

hunted down a G2 keyboard earlier this year. it's fantastic -- easy to =

who can convince me this was a fluke?

especially since if I like it I can buy a Norns to use it. but it seems =
