What are you „super hyped“ about?

more than 8 audio inputs when using external interfaces.

Yepp, that expanded IO has me excited. I have 32 inputs and outputs on my interface and use 26 of em. :-p

It seems a lot of users would already be very happy if 8 channels actually worked with their (off brand) audio interface.
On that background, I wonder how NI wants to offer 32 on the M+.

Winter is coming ;D Update will come someday too.

I wonder which interfaces they’re having issues with. I haven’t had any issues with any class compliant interfaces I’ve connected to it thus far.

Same here. Increased I/O for external audio interfaces is what I’m most looking forward to

There were several threads about which „class compliant“ audio interfaces actually work, this is probably the longest:

interesting. So far I’ve used the plus with
Motu 16A
Presonus Studio 192
Tascam Model 24
Traktor Audio 10
Pioneer DJM-A9
without any issues.0 -
interesting to hear the motu 16a works.
The 8A works for about 5 minutes and then the audio drops out (at least that's my experience). I've had it since release. On the older M+ firmware; it would work fine for a few minutes and then slowly degrade the audio. It sounded like a bitcrush effect was on the master. Now it drops completely AND any midi being sent to the output seems to be a little slower than the actual tempo. I don't remember the exact numbers; but I'm sure I added it to the audio interfaces thread. It's incredibly weird. In all cases, turning the knob in settings fixes it for a couple of minutes
The annoying thing: Sometimes it corrects itself. So if you just leave a project playing for an hour; you might come back and it seems fine. In reality, it might have dropped all audio for 40 minutes while you were away.
I can confirm M+ can use both my RME UCX and Zoom H8. It sees all of the I/O as expected, plays, records, etc. I can't confirm either works properly because I've never tried to put them through the paces for a few hours.
