When will we be getting a new firmware for the Play +

There has been a finger drumming update in beta for a year now. When should we expect a new firmware update? I’m actually not super interested in the finger drumming but I’m hoping for QoL improvements. Any information about this would be awesome!

Just want to know if

  • Pad Colors for sounds and channels
  • Pad colors for pattern and fluid Song mode (no waiting on pattern copies)
  • Sample Slice (waveform?)
  • Synth and MIDI mapping per encoders

These would be amazing :innocent:

wavetable and granular engines from tracker would be a dream … sorry … just thought Id squeeze this one in there :wink:

The Beta came out in Mid November 2024 :wink:

Here’s the official word :slight_smile:

For us that are on the outside looking in, can you please list the QoL features you wish to see in a update…

Play + a modular is still high on my list as a portable live setup but so many cool units are out or comming out and its hard to remain patient …

On the flip side the Play is one of the most ingenious sequencers and arrangers I know of both in terms of features and workflow/speed …

But I have to say it’s a bit worrying how long this major update is taking :thinking:

First I love the Play its exactly what I needed from a device like this. I can pick it up and in literally minutes I can have a awesome groove going. I love that I don’t need my computer or iPad to get creative.

The fix I’m looking for (ironically after what I said above) is an issue with USB audio to a computer. If I load up a synth on the Play + sometimes the sound is corrupted and I have to mess around to get it playing the audio correctly. Polyend is aware of the issue. It only happens with the synths which I haven’t played around with too much so it’s not a show stopper. Still for the price of this device I would expect it work properly.

I think the delay on updates is due to polyend dropping two new hardware units in the past few months.
