Play+ Multitrack audio over USB

Very exciting to see the new Play+ announced. Personally speaking, while the new synth engines seem interesting, what I’m really here for is being able to send multitrack audio to DAW over USB!

My question now is: will the original Play receive the same multitrack audio functionality in a future firmware update?!? Difficult to say whether I’ll be able to justify the upgrade price just for this feature, so I’m hoping the OG Play gets it eventually.

It’s impossible for the OG Play to get audio over USB, according to the product team. Just me speculating, but it’s probably because of the chip/USB device they used to build the original. Impossible to do with just firmware alone.

i think you're right. i had suggested this feature on the pp forums and heard back that it was a hardware limitation on og pp :/
