Really interesting to see this deep dive into both the technical and practical sides of MIDI 2.0—definitely learned a lot just from reading through! I have to say, while the spec side is fascinating, I wouldn’t mind a few funny jokes( allfunnyjokes.com ) in the next round of presentations—sometimes a laugh is the only way to survive dense protocol negotiation talk 😅. That said, the discussion here proves that this is far from an academic exercise—clearly there’s a lot of passion, history, and real-world concern behind how this tech evolves. Thanks to everyone sharing insight!
