However, it seems unlikely that it will receive any further major software updates beyond that point.
Android 13 now allows users to connect MIDI 2.0 devices through USB. Additionally, Android 15 expands this support to virtual MIDI apps. This means that composition apps can now control synthesizer apps as if they were USB MIDI 2.0 devices.
