AMEI is made up of 26 Japanese companies that have worked with The MIDI Association for over 40 years to help produce MIDI specifications. This presentation provides background information and current AMEI goals.
MIDI 2.0 is an extension of MIDI 1.0. It is not intended to replace MIDI 1.0, but rather to build on the fundamental concepts and architecture of MIDI 1.0.
MIDI has continued to grow and contribute to users since its birth in 1983 as a global standard for communication between electronic musical instruments. Over the decades, the MIDI industry has significantly expanded MIDI’s functionality and market reach through standardization efforts led by the Association of Musical Electronics Industry (AMEI) and the MIDI Association (MA).
