We cover the History of MIDI 1.0 since its inception in 1983 , discuss the numerous extensions over the last 4 decades, and the limitations that are being addressed with MIDI 2.0.

We give a detailed overview of MIDI 2.0, and clarify some confusing information in regards to the two "sides" of MIDI 2.0 ( MIDI CI and UMP ), cover backwards compatibility and what problems MIDI 2.0 will resolve for musical, audio and creative application.

We discuss the available tools and applications available for cross platform developers ,and how the MIDI Association works in collaboration OS companies, audio, musical instrument and DAW developers to implement the new protocol.

We take a deep dive under the bonnet of the development of MIDI 2.0 on the Windows platform, discuss future plans with Network MIDI 2.0, and much, much more.
