Hi Dan,

Thanks for getting back to me.
Yap, I had a look at the protocol and is like you said about retro-compatibility.
I'm glad to hear that probably can be dealt with making some changes in s_midi.c, work that of course I know still takes some efforts.
My question though, was more related to the new msg introduced by MIDI 2.0, with a different structure and resolution.
But I suspect what you said is valid for that as well, right?

Cheers,
Mario

Actually, form what I've read, I don't think MIDI 2 requires any (or very many) changes to Portmidi as Portmidi wraps the various OS-level MIDI APIs and gives you raw bytes. The actual MIDI protocol interpretation is handled in the Pd core.

MIDI 2 is basically an extension of the MIDI 1 protocol and MIDI 2 messages can contained embedded MIDI 1 messages. There is an additional query communication where a device can ask about the capabilities of another device. Overall, it seems to be designed to work seamlessly with older MIDI 1 devices/software.

Short answer is: I don't think anyone is doing this, but it can probably been done by modifying MIDI handling in s_midi.c.

Hi all,

Is there any plan to support MIDI 2.0? I know this is more of a question
about PortMidi, but I was wondering if anybody knows anything about it.

Cheers,
Mario
