They’re both 64 bit ARM processors, a generation apart from different manufacturers. It doesn’t seem very relevant, and function wise probably is of at best secondary importance to the differences between those two systems.

I think it does matter, because there is an ecosystem around writing and designing audio products for the pi SOC and I don’t know of any companies using the nxp SOC. The fact that they have both have arm processors is like saying a playstation and a pc tower are basically the same because they both use x86.
Good i didn’t say that.
Back to topic.
You did though. But OK.
Can we stay on topic please.
Here’s something on topic and fun: the firmware roadmap was recently updated and the 1.12 update will focus on additive synthesis

Interesting to consider what all that will turn out to be.
Other steps along the way on their road map :
1.9: December ’26. MIDI, focus on getting the most out of the popular MPE controllers.
1.10: February ’27. Slice mode & multi-samples
1.11: April ’27. Templates & ethernet
1.12: July ’27. Additive synthesis

One thing that would pique my interest would be a bit more protection from corruption. I’ve had to reflash my GR-1 a few times cos I sometimes forget to shut it down cleanly.
