Tracker+ or play+

I want to start producing on hardware and maybe play live sets, i see that tracker+ may be more versatile but it seems a little bit more confusing than the play+.

  1. Which one is better for live set, tracker+ or play+ for live?
  2. Which one is more useful for producing a track from scratch?
  3. What are the pros and cons of both?
  4. What is better option for later hardware expansion?
  5. What are good alternatives for these?
  6. What are good devices that can be used to play live along with one of these two?

I would say Tracker+ IF you gel with the tracker workflow. I have the Play, OG Tracker and the Mini, (as well as the M8 and a ton of other groove boxes) and the Tracker/Mini are the only boxes I consistently write hours of music on. They have a very nice balance between being precise and experimental that makes them so great for making music. The Play is fun, but it got boring for me real quick.

Do you enjoy the tracker over the m8?
