MIDI 2.0

MIDI 2.0 is biggest update of the Musical Instrument Digital Interface standard in 4 decades. It allows musicians and producers to create, record, and perform music with digital devices such as keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, and computers. MIDI 2.0 offers many new features and improvements over MIDI 1.0, such as higher resolution, bidirectional communication, dynamic configuration, and enhanced expressiveness. MIDI 2.0 is compatible with MIDI 1.0 devices, so you can use your existing gear and software with the new standard. MIDI 2.0 is a game-changer for the music industry and a dream come true for music lovers everywhere!
