MisterE Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 seems pretty late to the table. i mean how long before synths that are great are made which actually take advantage of this, because we already have a bunch of great synths from the 90s AND 2000s, and hell half way to 2020, which don't use it. if not around 2005, this definitely should've probably came out around 2010, at the latest. is this just a way for them to usher out more of the same types of synths they've been making but with the new selling point of HD midi? past couple weeks i'm feeling like expert sleepers silent way CV control is already like midi HD. and it works with lots of old synths. but i guess midi hd would be a nice bonus feature on a new synth if that synth was already in some way nice and worth buying..

Braintree Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Yeah, I thought it should have been done like 10 years ago, but it's still great they're trying to accommodate new technology and the foreseeable future.

Guest skibby Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 does midi usb plug and play mean you can splice a midi din connector to the end of a usb cable? because it should mean that.

auxien Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 This is interesting in that it really extends the life of existing MIDI devices. Without backward compatibility, within a couple decades many instruments would lose a large part of their functionality and get relegated to the 'basically-obsolete' pile. I'm of course assuming that something better (perhaps like OSC mentioned above; I didn't give that much reading and didn't really grasp it at a glance) doesn't come along and replace MIDI.
