Not a particularly informative or well-written one frankly. "Also, with more memory, there are simply many more possible features that MIDI 2.0 can try to emulate. More memory should also reduce the chance of the timing between playing a MIDI instrument and digital recording to be slightly off. This should mean music played on MIDI 2.0 instruments will feel more analog, and make it possible for non-keyboard instruments to work better with MIDI." Eh? What? "The fact that MIDI 2.0 is bidirectional has two major effects. First, it means that it is backwards compatible, and won’t make the billions of MIDI 1.0 devices already out in the world obsolete." No, backwards compatibility does not follow from MIDI 2.0 being bidirectional. "“I think using a MIDI guitar would change the way I make music. The way our brain orients to making music on a guitar is just different to a keyboard layout. I used to have a MIDI guitar instrument, but I don’t have it anymore because I felt like there was a lot of latency and I didn’t really like the results I got. I am hoping [MIDI 2.0] will solve some of the issues I had before.”" Well prepare to be disappointed. The problems with digital non-keyboard instruments has little to do with MIDI. In the case of a MIDI guitar, the latency problem is an issue of physics, not the digital transport.

This is referencing Adam Neely (from the article). I believe they are referencing this video [1]. Overall, Adam Neely's videos are really great. I personally really like his videos on the Star Spangled Banner and Scotch Snaps. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvJhLQnuktg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvJhLQnuktg
