I can think of many reasons why MIDI 2.0 might be advantageous. But microtonality? Why? MIDI 1.0's MTS supports everything Scala can throw at it, doesn't it?

- speed_spread 5y agoI used microtonality as an example. Yes, it can be done with MIDI 1.0 but it's a hack whereas with MIDI 2 it's built-in. Actually, you could probably emulate much of MIDI 2 functionality using MIDI 1 but it would just become a new protocol over an old one at some point.
- SeanLuke 5y agoI'm confused. MTS is quite exhaustive on MIDI 1.0. How is microtonality in 1.0 a hack compared to what's being provided in 2.0? There are obviously a number of 2.0 features that are much more advanced than 1.0 (MIDI is primitive). But MTS is actually pretty good and not a hack.
