Right. And if that were to happen I personally would probably be back on board.

Yeah i didnât think she sounded upset either. More just implying the end result wasnât what theyâd have wanted.
You donât release something open source if you arenât cool with people using it however the licence allows, itâs very common in the coding world - people either do it for self promotion (eg if you write some popular open source code that is used everywhere big companies are sure to want to hire you for big money) or because they want other people to collobrate on it, or for altruistic reasons (eg they believe software should be âfree as in freedomâ), or just for the fun of seeing your creation being used out in the world!

Agreed. The one issue that confuses me here is that Arturia is using the Mutable Instrumentsâ logo in their advertising. This would seem to be an absolute âno wayâ unless there already was some agreement in place between Arturia and MI and makes me wonder if there already is some kind of agreement.

Nice. Allmost. But I meant a real physical version of that AniMoog touch-type up-down and sideways keyboard. Multi finger glide and expression. I guess Continuum is the closest.
No I know I was joking.

I donât think sheâs upset they used the code, I think sheâs upset that they said itâs a collab
Good synth though âŚ

If it was my code and my creation, and was used in something cool like this synth, I would prefer to have my name credited. I can see the merit in the other viewpoint as well though. No one here is wrong, and hopefully Arturia had no ill intentions to begin with and is communicating with MI to make it right for them after seeing their feelings expressed publicly.

âHowever the license allowsâ sure but this isnât about the license itâs about the MI name.

Yeah sure thatâs cool by you but it needs to be cool by MI and itâs currently not.

Thereâs also this thread on the MI forums, which was immediately locked with âno commentâ

Thatâs the best argument Iâve heard. Consider my opinion swayed

Yeah sorry was referring specifically to the open source bit. Not sure what the deal with the name is but I didnât take it from her comments that they had used the name illegally
I think it would be unwise in a legal sense to start throwing around the word illegal

Yeah see âno commentâ is legalese for âIâm lawyerin upâ
It was the Mutable Instrument name that made me really look. If Emilie didnât collaborate as is claimed, Iâm not interested in deceitful marketing or their products

Ok, Iâm convinced⌠I LIKE IT!
Iâm looking for the MI logo in their marketing and on their page but Iâm not seeing it? Does anyone have a link?
Check the details section on the product page scroll down.
On closer look that strip even LOOKS like a rip off of MI graphics. Pathetic.

Yeah, the more Iâm reading about this âcollaborationâ the more annoyed Iâm getting.
No collaboration and no shared profit. It even sounds like the fixed focus group MI was invited to was just a show so they could say it was a collaboration
Is Arturia the new Behringer now?
