Have fun with my video. And I am happy about every comment.

Thank you for putting the work in making and editing this video!!!! It's been extremely helpful for me making a bunch of financial moves in building a multiple oscillating monster! Showing the features of Octave, decay and vca on this thing, ultimately made buying "brains" a no-brainer for me. I'm Subbed and definitely liked this video a lot. I've probably watched it 20 times or more.....sincerely,THANK YOU
You are the reason why I do such videos. Thank YOU for this polite comment. Have fun with all your modules.
i have loved mine for many months - it makes great noise. For any visitors, since this review there was a 96k update too and it sounds different again.
That was a comprehensive demo. Much appreciated.
Thank you for the feedback
Mine arrived yesterday. This was incredibly helpful.
Very thorough and great for me. Mines is on its way! Thanks mate 🙂
My pleasure
just got mine a couple of days ago......sweeeet. gr8 demo..ty
125 Euro. Just played around with the LFO mode and start to question my 3 K worth collection of complex lfos and random modules. And the Morphing Terrarium. And other expensive stuff.
im excited for this
After watching this i got 2 of the behringer brain added to my system
This is a good decision. You can never have enough plaits
This has been very helpful. Thank you. Got mine yesterday, I'm already hoping for a firmware update to enable the models to be able to swap between two predetermined choices alternately using the model input and a slow LFO
I can see you are doing similar towards the end using a sequence? Nice was wondering if a two note sequence running very slow would do what im after
I do not understand! You can swap with an LFO the models out of the box. You do not need to wait for an update
You can put whatever you want in the CV input of the models. Just try different CV sources. This makes fun.
@@penishead_official will the LFO make them swap backwards and forwards though? I’ve yet to try it as only watched your vid this morning and you using a sequence to swap the models gave me the idea, I don’t want them moving along through more than two and just flipping between the two.
@@conceptdevices that depends on what for CV you have. In your case a square LFO with an attenuator should give you the switching between 2 models.
Nice video. I do like mine. But I wonder why Behringer didn’t include the Inharmonic string modeling mode from Plaits in the Brains module. It is a cool mode because it offers 3 voices of polyphony in contrast to all the others which are monophonic. Hopefully they will add it in a future update.
The Main presets are still the same but have different names. Inharmonic stringmodeling in plaits and in brains its called Modal strings. Are am I fail?
@@penishead_official Well yes, the Modal Resonator from Plaits is included in Brains as Modal Strings. But the Inharmonic string modeling mode from Plaits which is able to play up to 3 overlapping notes is not included. Behringer did include a new Karplus strong mode but it's not polyphonic.
@@ruscor this is really interesting for me. How can I reicht this in the original plaits? To see the difference. Nobody detect this what you said. So this is really important.
@@penishead_official Yes, I am also surprised that nobody seems to have noticed this omission. But I think it is worth pointing out that you actually don't get all the modes from Plaits in Brains - which is what I thought when I bought it. If you set the original Plaits to Inharmonic string modeling mode you can hear up to 3 overlapping notes if you have a long decay and play 3 different notes in succession. Very nice for plucked guitar/string sounds that overlap and chords (triads). This mode actually is ported from the Rings module. From the Plaits manual about the Inharmonic string modeling mode: "Note that Plaits uses a less powerful processor than Rings, and is thus limited to 3 voices of polyphony in inharmonic string modeling mode, and 1 voice of polyphony with 24 partials in modal resonator mode."
I have asked Behringer about it and on various forums but no answer yet as to what the reason is this mode was not ported to Brains. But since the Brains can receive firmware updates via the USB port I hope they will include it in a future update.
Wow! How'd you get your hand on this so early, you live next to the factory?
Bought for 159€ next batch Was 124€🤦 when the obx oberulliheim comes out, I will wait for a while 🤣👍ich gönn es denen trotzdem!
Yeah, this is a good idea. Be not the first buyer
@@penishead_official obx first batch 1998€, next 1599€ save your money, life and nerves. I love Behringer! 💘💘💘
What is that module you have above/ between the plaits/ brains? It looks like a module I was considering a couple days ago can't think of it right now
Oh, it is just a crossfader. It is from ST Modular. With that I can switch between the both output from the Brains/Plaits
@@penishead_official thanks, I realized that after I got further into the video..I was thinking of the one (I keep thinking) like addac t-noiseworks(I know tnetworks is a 4 voice drum trig in drumoutx4 great) but im thinking a vc/routing module that has a slider on the bottom but it isn't simply a crossfader it changes other parameter. I'd like to get back to it and can't remember what it is lol.. oh well. I think it was an addac...
@@softsmoken it is just a channel Audio crossfader to blend the two outputs. For sure you can use it for CV, too
@@penishead_official !Addac VC transitions... that's what I was thinking of! Once I saw the one operating a bit on your video I realized it was a x fader kinda thing- not what I was thinking of.
welches modul fandest du vom sound (qualität) her besser?
Schwierige Antwort: da das Brains mittlerweile ein 96khz bekommen hat, tendiere ich zum brains. Es ist dadurch präziser im Klang geworden.
@@penishead_official oh super danke für die info
wo kriegt man den diesen geilen Crossfader her?
You have to build it for yourself. It’s from ST Modular: www.st-modular.com/slide.htm
I want to have mine! - got mine 159€
Thanks for demo, I cancelled my order (I placed start of june). This module has no interest. They spoke about modification of the algorithms, but there is nothing really new nor interesting. Not totally Behringer fault, Gillet did a mistake creating the Plaits and suppressing the far superior Braids. I'll keep my clones from Modex Modulex, they are not easy to use (too small) but this is the same sound. Thanks again :-)
Thanks for the comparison, much appreciated.
My opinion, Behringer fail with a jittery oscillator.
Around 55:05 . That's where I really hear it. Possibly it's something to do with the potentiometer, the pitch is really wavering in the Brains and not at all in Plaits.
I'm now listening to a Brains with the 96kHz firmware, that bad sound is gone.
Oh, that is now really interesting.
lol, that modul isnt 2 buy 4 the next 12 weeks
I know but I had the oportunity to have it here.
I honestly have never ever been able to actually BUY a Behringer piece of gear.
You must be proper skint mate
@@ogasi1798 I think the lack of stock was implied, not lack of funds
Try stealing
Good demo - change the name & get rid of the stupid mask.
That’s his identity
@@FluxFreeman obviously, that is what is being referred to
