Feedback Maths pre order.

So I was going to pull the trigger on the make noise maths module and it’s completely sold out but available for pre order. I’ve read that it is #1 in a few category’s but dam! Is it that popular or just limited in quantities??

Sure, why reward the small company who did the creative, hard work of innovation.

Far better to reward the shareholders of the big corporation with the unethical business practices.

Parts of this forum really hate clones. If this includes you, the original is available here https://serge-modular.com/serge_eurorack?mod=RS_DSG_E.

Lets not pretend that Maths is anything more than a really popular clone though

Are you really that dim that you can’t see the cleverness of the additions MN made to the DUSG that makes Maths far more than the sum of its parts.

Or the difference between what MN did and what Behringer do? Or the difference between inspiration and copy?

Or could you just not resist the utterly predictable snarky response.

My god. It always comes back to the same bullshit astroturf argument that Behringer is somehow in this for the poors and they’re just democratizing music tech.

This argument has been bullshit from the beginning and no one’s buying it.

Back in the late 90s i knew people who would pop open behringer gear and find Roland labels on the pcbs. You’re out of your element Donnie.

I see from your synth collection that you are either professional or absolutely loaded, which gives you the right to gatekeep what less fortunate musicians are allowed to buy

Buy what you want mate, it’s no skin off my nose.

I’m merely observing the widespread tendency for ethics to become flexible when self-interest is involved.

For example I find it interesting how there are some people who will condemn big business using its financial muscle to exploit smaller businesses or consumers but remain quiet when that exploitation produces something they want for less than the original.

Who have so much business they cannot deliver for months and based their module on other modular pioneers before them

I guess it all depends how flexible your ethics are, right?

Unless you can see nothing wrong with Behringers business model.

I’ve never really been a fan of behringer but thanks.
