There is also the concept of “groupless” messages (more correctly referred to as “stream” messages) for function blocks and other configuration, which fundamentally changes how you might interact with a UMP Endpoint. For example, MIDI-CI protocol negotiation has been deprecated (most other MIDI-CI uses remain), which is a big deal for us because it just didn’t make sense to handle things that way on a Plug & Play aware OS.
The updated specifications have some important changes. This really works out in everyone’s best interest, especially the MIDI user.
The NDA means that the in-progress specifications can only be shared with voting members of the MIDI Association and AMEI. Keeping them under NDA until the final vote ensures that we don’t end up with diverging versions of the specification and implementations out in the public and in products. During the review and approval process, there are always changes, and sometimes those can be small but significant. Why were the specifications under NDA? Until specifications are fully adopted by the MIDI Association and AMEI, we keep them inside the associations. Congratulations to all involved! If I am a bit overzealous with exclamation points in this post, it’s because I’ve been waiting for and working towards this for a long time. The updated MIDI 2.0 specifications, which were under MIDI Association and AMEI NDA until a week ago, have been published! This is a huge milestone for the MIDI Association and AMEI, and unlocks a lot of public discussion and work. June 19th, 2023 6 5 The updated MIDI 2.0 Specifications have been published
