Did Behringer seriously just rip off the quad VCA?

Is it though?

You don’t think completely ripping off a still-in-production module and selling it for (presumably) half the price is cynical? Fair enough.

I thought you were saying I was being cynical! Sorry for the misunderstanding mate

No problem, I should have been more clear.

On a “wants vs needs” spectrum, Eurorack lands overtly in the wants. I hope this is sufficient to shield original designers from what’s clearly an assault.

If you’re gonna buy a Neutron anyways, try to get a used one, to at least not support Behringer directly.

I wont be buying their products from now on. I wont support this theft.

this website does not work well

???

Are you referring to anything in particular @Foghorn?

Nothing in particular, but it kept crashing and would not let me do anything.
The website usually works
I tried to edit what was originally in that post and it would not let me
Eventually I typed the content of that post, and it let me submit?
Then it wouldn’t let me edit or do anything
So I left

Hmmm… yeah that sounds frustrating. What browser are you using?

Yikes. I’d like to say I’m surprised, but these clowns have been playing the same game for decades.

And now, Devil Fish’s TB-303 mods have been ripped off by Behringer. They really will steal from anyone.

It’s funny that there is no official response from MI or intellijel because to them I’m sure it’s not cool but responding would probably play right into B’s playbook, which is to seek attention at any cost. Really if You want to take a bite out of the big dawgs try cloning beads or metropolix hell they couldn’t even pull off metropolis. Laughable

I’m sure they aren’t thrilled about it, but perhaps this isn’t the platform to discuss it (for Intellijel’s sake):

Yeah I’ve seen those but it’s all BS. They ended up looking silly for it. That’s just scare tactics. You can say what You want to say.

They don’t have any need to clone metropolis/metropolix. They are already ripping off the ARP line.

I wouldn’t put it past them to try and make a shoddy Atlantis though.

Just saying I suspect there’s a reason Intellijel and Mutable aren’t publicly addressing their blatant theft, that’s all. Maybe it’s legal, maybe it’s as you said. Also, F##k Beh###ger.

the neutron was a ripoff of the SSF bantam, he posted a prototype and 4 months later neutron came out

I appreciate them taking the high road and not responding. We can all see what’s going on. I’ll keep buying from Intellijel. :slight_smile:
