We cover the History of MIDI 1.0 since its inception in 1983 ,
discuss the numerous extensions over the last 4 decades, and the
limitations that are being addressed with MIDI 2.0.
We give a detailed overview of MIDI 2.0, and clarify some confusing
information in regards to the two "sides" of MIDI 2.0 ( MIDI CI and
UMP ), cover backwards compatibility and what problems MIDI 2.0
will resolve for musical, audio and creative application.
We discuss the available tools and applications available for cross
platform developers ,and how the MIDI Association works in
collaboration OS companies, audio, musical instrument and DAW
developers to implement the new protocol.
We take a deep dive under the bonnet of the development of MIDI 2.0
on the Windows platform, discuss future plans with Network MIDI
2.0, and much, much more.
