The MIDI Association will provide updates on the latest MIDI 2.0 products from Apple Logic, Korg, Native Instruments, Roland, Steinberg and Yamaha, and many more. The session will be moderated by Brian Hardgroove, record producer, bassist, drummer and member of the legendary band Public Enemy and feature a performance by Jordan Rudess, keyboardist and composer for Dream Theater.
With MIDI 2.0 support already beginning to appear in digital audio workstations, plug-in developers are benefitting from the work being done by the MIDI Association member companies that develop those plug-in formats — Apple (Audio Units), Avid (AAX), Bitwig (CLAP) and Steinberg (VST). They’re developing open-source software that will enable plug-in developers to quickly and easily interface with external MIDI gear.
