Stickers. Stickers will do 
I kinda want a Plaits clone but certainly not this one as it’s bigger than the original. There are cool micro-plaits available elsewhere.

No. I think there is some nuance missing.
Arturia’s original release made it seem as if it were a collaboration. It was not. That’s what I took issue with. They later changed up the marketing to reflect the reality, which was they were respectfully using Mutable code. As one should when cloning.
B here barely mentions the fact that it’s Mutable code, going so far as to make it neigh difficult to even find it. Making it come off as it’s their own original code.

It should really be called ‘Someone else’s Brains’
Behringer Brains is misleading. It isn’t their intellectual property nor invention of a Behringer brain.
Can’t wait for Behrings…

Braids - Brains, doing the absolute bare minimum to credit the author of the original code, is straight trolling.

I haven’t watched the video, but on the product page they do mention MI and Plaits. But I’d say it’s not so much the code they need to acknowledge - there’s a licence spelling out what they can and can’t do with that - it’s the module design, which they’re clearly standing on the shoulders of. Crave / Mother 32 all over again, and it is a sad state of affairs, really.

Loool, I was curious why this title and forgot about the predecessor’s name. Omg. So cheap.
Classic Behringer move…steal as much as you can while getting away with it legally and get free publicity through controversy online. Works everytime …

One thing: They added a USB port… so can we expect a lot of firmware updates ? If not… why even bother with a USB port ?

Where? I’m not seeing it…
So someone’s going to buy a module from a company that are famous for cloning gear and just assume it’s a Behringer original?
I’m pretty sure my mum would know it’s a Plaits clone.

There’s a link to GitHub for plaits at the bottom too.
This thread is going where they always go …buy the ‘proper’ one , another clone, the behringer one or don’t.

Yeah, I just had a look, MI get their props on the second bullet point.
You all need to chill.

OK!! I stand corrected. Totally missed that bit as I was looking at the larger product descriptions next to pictures where it is conspicuously absent.
I still stand by that it is difficult to make out it’s using Mutable code (you still have to click to open), especially compared to MicroFreak marketing. But I’m not really interested in arguing the nuances of marketing design.
For those fine with it, enjoy the simulacra of far more talented people.

The mods must really hate Behringer product release days haha. Anyway, another yawn product from a yawn company. Nothing to see here.

Very sad that the market for Behringer clones seems to be that big… the money and the manpower could be really innovative instead

Well… marketing nuances… for me pretty much any marketing is akin to lying anyway.
What I want to know is what are the 5 digital oscillators models that are not from MI.
Maybe they felt brave enough to code their own sine, saw, triangle, square and noise oscillators.
