fuctifino posted:I just can't see any added benefits that warrant a 2.0 spec. We have MPE now, and I can do polyphonic portamento slides within 24 semitones on the plugins that I have using vanilla MIDI 1.x on the Linnstrument. I'm pretty sure it sends xxx.xxx values for the CC messages, and a USB connection makes sure there is more bandwidth than you'll ever need. the increased bandwidth now-a-days is precisely why an updated spec makes sense. midi was designed for a max bandwidth of 3125 bytes a second. it would be good to define a protocol that can take advantage of even a modestly increased size in bandwidth. it'll be interesting to see what they do with it and assuming they pull it off i look forward to widespread adoption within the next 30 years

fuctifino posted:While that's true for old school midi din ports, that's not true for USB. There's no real bandwidth restrictions when you connect with USB, and many hardware devices have USB midi plug and play built in these days. I use one old school midi cable in my setup, and that's to connect my 21 year old Behringer FCB1010 pedalboard to my looper. Everything else is USB midi, or internal midi routed through my DAW i'm not talking about the bandwidth itself, i'm talking about the bandwidth the protocol was designed around. with a refreshed design the protocol would maybe no longer be full of goofy hacks working around those restrictions, like having to use 2 CCs for a 14-bit message. MPE is basically pushing the protocol to it's limit, i'm really impressed by its ingenuity anyways, i'm done speculating because there are more details than i thought in this blog post: https://www.midi.org/articles-old/midi-manufacturers-association-mma-adopts-midi-capability-inquiry-midi-ci-specification 32-bit CC messages

Frankly the fact that MIDI has held on so long as a standard across an entire industry despite it’s limitations speaks to how well Ikutaro Kakehashi and Dave Smith did in designing it and making it robust with enough flexibility that things like MPE were able to be built off of it decades later. If there’s a synthesizer hall of fame, they deserve to get inducted alongside Bob Moog as the three greatest synth designers of all time.

And touch plate controllers are acceptable for $150 Volcas, not for $5000 boutique synths. Anything that did use them is more obscure these days than Switched on Bach or Oxygene. Nobody is rushing out to blow the price of a good used car on something nobody but hardcore synth nerds has ever even heard of, let alone heard on an album they own.

I guess when I think of closed door MIDI 2.0 discussions I imagine dark forces trying to create something they can monetise with evil somehow, MIDI with DRM for example. The ability to lock out devices which are not the same brand for “compatibility purposes”. Etc.

I first saw his videos of the furby organ, the 100 oscillators project and the satanic bible mod and it was clear the guy is extremely good at what he does. Aaaand it's fun to watch which is the cherry on the cake.

Despite the fact that a lot of bleepy-bloopy-farty-wanky electronic music that gets made by gearheads can be lazy and not thought out, the original intent was very thought out, and there are still people who approach it seriously and make some incredible work.
