Just when I thought I was out… They pull me back in.

This news also means … I have to hold off ordering the AE modular base 2 for my new year gift to myself (from my partner 
). Mixing the Behringer modules with some Doepfer and new Dreadbox modules will get this big case loaded within an acceptable budget. Good times!

There’s nothing subjective about it at all.
Last year I started looking into eurorack, took one look at the cost of just the case itself and quickly became disheartened. This looks like I’m back in it to win it.
Edit: I am definitely grabbing an Intellijel Atlantis module now, can’t have enough mono synths 
If this is indeed a well-priced case with adequate power supply, all we need now is a good way to mix eurorack signals. Last time I checked, I couldn’t find a single sensible “performance-oriented” mixer module (think A&H DJ mixers) in eurorack land. Behringer would do well to release one.
If cheap and decent cases are there, and a sensible way to mixerize it all up, I would seriously start considering an eurorack setup. But considering the cost and logistics, I aint going to be lugging a mixer and an eurorack case to gigs. No way. It all needs to integrate nicely into a single control surface… isn’t that what eurorack is all about?

You’re right. It’s almost as if Behringer had the sense to make just enough changes (to the original Mantis design) so that a 
case against them wouldn’t stand up in court. Maybe this ain’t their first rodeo?
Dude… it’s a box. Empty box. It’s not some unique invention or discovery that only Mantis has done.

I don’t know how I feel about Behringer releasing bootleg models of original products and now taking over the eurorack modular scene… but I’m somewhat satisfied that I stopped buying hardware/eurorack and my g.a.s. drive has diminished…

They are entering a thriving eurorack community that’s brimming with really passionate, talented designer/manufacturers, many of whom are one person businesses. It’ll be interesting to see how well their modules are received and whether we’ll see Behringer stalls popping up at the more grass roots modular festivals.

If a lot of people get in touch with these esoteric module makers because their first modular was made into a behri case, would it really be so bad?
Modular market is actually a scene where I see behri also as a big catalyst for more interest in modular in general. Not all of those people will be satisfied with only using behri modules for long.

There will be more people playing the euro game and … more customers for everybody.

If anything Behry will suffer greater scrutiny in the eurocrack market as it’s a bottomless pit and those with a firm foothold in said abyss (versus fill my hp mission 1) will need convincing less with their pocket and more so with what fantastical weapons they have already and what Behry can add…
Mind you, if Behringer release a ‘Produce Racket Bronze and Silver Shared System’ I’ll probs be in on it 
I’ve thought about it. Maybe one day! DIY is an awesome way to go with almost anything, I feel.
