I have been using MIDI starting in 1984 With 3 Roland Keyboards, & have been in MIDI heaven ever since . Using MIDI with Guitar, and hearing of MIDI 2.0 I'm ELATED!!! Thank you from the bottom of my Heart. Learning curve Two here we come. Thank you so much.
Does exporting in MIDI 2.0 include each and every parameter in the MIDI file such as slurs/legatos? MIDI 1.0 exports ties but not slurs (for use in other DAW apps) unless it is in MusicXML format (for use in scoring apps).
MIDI 2.0 will have a more inclusive and growing set of musical information. Some of the new features have already been defined in the core MIDI 2.0 specifications. Other new features will be defined in the months and years ahead. For example, MIDI equivalents of musical information found in Music XML, such as slurs and ties you mention, are currently being developed in an Orchestral Articulation Profile and the Standard MIDI File v2.
We expect the first MIDI 2.0 products to appear in 2021. We need the support of operating system companies. Apple, Microsoft, and Google have all participated in the MIDI Association during the development of MIDI 2.0 but those companies generally do not announce release schedules until they are ready to deliver. We also need the support of DAW companies (who rely on the operating system support) to allow for wider implementation across a whole system of MIDI 1.0 + MIDI 2.0 products. Covid19 has definitely set back some of the development schedule and continues to do so, especially for OS companies. As I wrote above, the first products will likely be available in 2021. But it will take 2-3 years for adoption to become more widespread.
@@mikekent7724 can existing keyboards like Roland Fantom 2019 flagship be upgraded to MIDI 2 when it becomes available through a software update or do they need to launch a new version of Fantom keyboard for MIDI 2?
@@MobileMusic I do not know about the Fantom specifically, but certainly some current products can be upgraded to add various features of MIDI 2.0. Some features might be easier to retrofit than others and which features some devices could add might be different from what other devices are able to add.
All of this interdevice computery stuff is great. But can it represent pitch-bends, quarter tones, crescendi and the like, in a beautiful way? If not, it's not much use to me. We need a standard that defines music in terms of the way it's made by real instruments. Curves, not notes. Think vectors. Think the difference between PNG and SVG. This is the only way we will get to realistic-sounding music.
I'm using primarily physical instruments, because I don't want to rely on a laptop - too often been stuck while my laptop had updates take all priority over me trying to be creative... Plus I've had some synths (Korg, Roland, Kurzweil) for decades, and they're still going very strong. No laptop does that, longevity doesn't exist there. I'm not saying VSTs have no place, I definitely LOVE for instance ROLI, EZDrummer2 and Omnisphere. But I'm not relying on them in a live situation. Oh, and absolutely NOTHING virtual comes close to my no1 love on this planet: my vintage '61 Hammond B3. You can always tell if someone's faking it.
In order to “change music production forever”, first it needs to start changing music production at all. Two years after release, all we’ve got to show for it is a lousy 88-key controller from Roland that doesn’t even have aftertouch!

Thanks for this video. Full midi 2.0 support coming in Cubase 13
Thanks for the excellent explanation.

You didint mention Dave Smith from Sequential Circuit who was one of the pioneers of MIDI
Thanks for this!!
Thanks for the info. When will 2.0 be implemented in new hardware and software?

More resolution means it more closely represents the old analogue stuff. Think SD Video vs UHD 8K.
I have a quuestion... Whose using outboard gear at all, and why? What music are you making that you couldnt have made in the massive software world?

Capturing a perfomance on an acoustic or analog instrument will always be superior to software instruments in certain aspects.
