Right?
MIDI 2.0 sounds like a solution in search of a problem.
MIDI 1.0 addressed the problem of connecting any two electronic music devices to each other.
MIDI 2.0 seems to un-solve it.
- spicybright 5y agoOne great thing about musicians is they're not forced into upgrading things as fast as computer software. So hopefully the lack of sales for MIDI 2.0 only devices will kill the protocol quickly.
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoMIDI 1.0 solved one problem. 30+ years later, the fact that this problem was solved revealed a new set of problems to be solved.
- romwell 5y ago... which can be solved by standardizing the use of existing MIDI 1.0 spec (see: NRPN, MPE, ...). The problems that MIDI 2.0 solves seem to be of the kind that musicians don't have, and definitely don't justify switching away from a simple three-wire connector that's the same on both ends (either 5-pin DIN or 3.5mm TRS which is gaining traction these days).
