Hello Behringer. Can I ask why you didn’t include the inharmonic string modeling mode from Mutable Instruments Plaits in Brains? It is an especially cool mode because it offers 3 voices of polyphony in contast to all the others modes which are monophonic. Future update perhaps?
Thanks for semi-openly acknowledging its roots as the Mutable Instruments Plaits on your website! Are you planning on contributing some code back upstream? That would be awesome!
Some code? Do you have any proof there was code used from Plaits? Do you think the concept of this module is unique to the guy at MU? You can't be serious.

This is a must for my studio ❤️ is the USB only firmware or midi trig too 🤔 Once again Behringer are smashing it in 2021…. I’d hate to be their competitors 😂
Is there a way to use something like this without patching it into a whole Eurorack setup? I currently have a Crave, so I would like to get this and use Crave’s CV outs to control it, but I currently can’t afford getting a whole powered Eurorack case and all that. (I would like to get into Eurorack, but while I’m still in school it’s just not feasible.) Edit: Is this just missing power?

Any idea on an eta? End of year? Also thank you for the screen and front end usb access. With all the direct MI clones out there, it's nice to see one that switches it up and offers something different
I appreciate this model a lot. A lot of people actually verge on or imo cross over the original mutable instruments licensing guidelines. Behringer actually took this open source module and added to it in a nice way. I imagine this is more what the creator intended by open sourcing her modules. Not carbon copy clones advertised as 1:1 copies of her work.
Hi Eddy - Please be sure to check out the official product features section on the BRAINS product page where the use of the engines are clearly referenced: www.behringer.com/product?modelCode=P0E6H
Whats the USB for? Can we load our own Wavetables? I'm more of an analog OSC (and everything else) guy but this might be useful and at this price point, why not.
Because the Microfreak is basically a Plaits with a built in keyboard controller and access to a few additional parameters. Brain is basically just a Plaits, but with 5 more oscillators. It's no secret either, the Plaits is open source, and both companies mention directly on their product paiges that the core engine comes from Plaits.
Heya! Great demo! There's just one thing ... You should have pronounced it like "Braaains!" :D At least when I saw the announcement the first thing that came into my mind was, how cool it would be if the reviewers and guys making demos would say it out loud like a stereotypical zombie. :D
It has an OLED. It has a USB jack upfront. Behringer could cook up some alternative firmwares for this thing. The sky's the limit. It's a digital module. The face-plate is nearly symmetrical left to right. You'd just need a couple of extra holes drilled in the face-plate to be drilled for the USB and FM attenuverter. You could cover the two extra holes in the face-plate with plastic caps. Now you can have an alternative face-plate that's double-sided (layouts for two alternative firmwares). Sell blank plates. Sell pre-printed ones. Etc. I'm not sure what the memory space is like. But there's lots of common stuff that could be between all of the inputs and the outputs. Plus... "hacking BRAINS" sounds kind of cool.
It’s this sort of thing that’ll tip me from semi-modular into full-on Eurorack rabbit hole. Damn you Behringer. That said, this would play very nicely with my DFAM…
Is beringer cheap an cheerful, or is everyone else grossly over priced? This thing costs £130, and a VCO from intelijel that's 1u size and basic is £125! That's why people should direct there criticism elsewhere. Eurorack equipment is to expensive. And does intelijel deliberately make there cases too slim for units that are generally well priced. I'm new to Eurorack and these are the questions that keep coming to mind. Well done Beringer, Eurorack for the unwashed masses.
From the instruction book... Second output spits out an alternative sound for each engine. Some are variations (eg. Different kickdrum tone) others are additions to existing sound (like root note of chord mode, or sub for virtual analogue). Cool!

Speech was great - Can you do words with it? Its got a very Kraftwerk sound too!
I have a crave and a model D - would this be any good to modulate the inputs on these synths?
No. Better get something more of a CV tool like a double looping envelope or oscillators that can go into LFO territory
Dear Behringer people! When are you going to release the 1027 and 1050 modules?
How do I upload words for the "speech" function?
That is one rad little unit!
Also any idea when the 182 seq will be restocked everywhere?
Is the USB port only for firmware updates or will we be able to use MIDI over USB from a DAW or controller to play this?
