That is a blatant distortion of the truth.
They have invested Nothing in New Designs, nothing For The Future, and I find your defense of Behringer utterly disingenuous.
Legacy: what legacy of designs, ORIGINAL DESIGNS, has Behringer left us?
R&D was not intended to signify honing a rip-off design, but indicates an original design. Name me ONE original Behringer product.
- bemusedthrow75 3y ago> R&D was not intended to signify honing a rip-off design, but indicates an original design. The whole tone of your comment is rude, but this in particular is a straw man argument. R&D is just the department (and budget) of a business concerned with product improvement. That absolutely can involve improving on other people's products. And improvements can just be that it is cheaper to produce, or easier to produce at scale. The idea that R&D is a room-full of paid inventors is a myth.
- klodolph 3y agoThis is a misuse of the word “disingenuous”. “Disingenuous” is when someone pretends to be stupid, and there’s no valid reason to use that word here. “Disingenuous” is probably the most cliché and tired way to add unnecessary vitriol to a comment on HN.

- TheOtherHobbes 3y agoNeutron, Proton, DeepMind, PolyD, Wing, X32, and the BCR series The official line now is they're moving on from clones into original designs. The real problem with Behringer is the low cost and not-a-trophy accessibility. No one complains about UDO's JP6 knock off or Groove's 3RD Wave, even though they're very close clones with a few added features. Perhaps because they're reassuringly expensive trophy products, while Behringer's aren't.
