SUMMARY:DAW Control Profile-Replacing Mackie Control 
DESCRIPTION:The DAW Working Group is working on a DAW Control Profile which would supersede proprietary control protocols like Mackie Control and Logic Control with a true industry standard for controlling DAWs via external hardware and software. \nWith MIDI 2.0 support already beginning to appear in Digital Audio Workstations\, plugin developers are benefitting from the work being done by the MIDI Association member companies that develop those plugin formats – Apple (Audio Units)\, Avid (AAX)\, Bitwig (CLAP) and Steinberg (VST). \nMike Kent- Amenote\, Chair of MIDI 2.0 WG/MIDI Association Executive Board \nAndrew Mee- Yamaha\, Chair of Developer Support WG/MIDI Association Technical Standards Board \nDice Naito- FSK Audio

SUMMARY:Build Your Own Audio and MIDI Plug-ins Using JUCE
DESCRIPTION:JUCE is the most widely used framework for audio and MIDI application and plug-in development. It is an open source C++ codebase that can be used to create standalone software on Windows\, macOS\, Linux\, iOS and Android\, as well as VST\, VST3\, AU\, AUv3\, AAX and LV2 plug-ins.\n\nSenior JUCE developer Anthony Nicholls will show you how you can use JUCE to create your own\, unique\, audio and MIDI plug-ins that you can make available to other people.

SUMMARY:Plugin Formats Open Source Support for MIDI 2.0
DESCRIPTION:The MIDI Association member companies that develop plugin formats – Apple (Audio Units)\, Avid (AAX)\, Bitwig (CLAP) and Steinberg (VST) are working together to  develop open-source software that will enable plugin developers to quickly and easily interface with external MIDI gear without the need for any in depth knowledge of MIDI 2.0 or MIDI-CI.  Another MIDI Association member supporting this effort is JUCE – the most widely used framework for audio application and plug-in development. \nThe MIDI Association DAW working group is creating open source software that will look at MIDI 2.0 messages from external devices\, extract the information the plugin needs to support Profiles like the Orchestral Articulation\, MPE and Piano profiles and translate those MIDI messages into the native plug formats that plugins already understand. \nBy utilizing this open source software\, plugin companies can start supporting MIDI 2.0 external devices with minimal development costs.  \nBefore Super Booth in May of 2024\, The MIDI Association hosted the first meeting of the DAW working group at the Native Instruments office in Berlin\, where the companies agreed to work together to develop open-source software available under a permissive MIT license to bridge the gap between external MIDI Devices\, Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs)\, and plugins. That cooperative project is ongoing in the MIDI Association’s DAW Working Group. \nThe DAW Working Group is also working on a DAW Control Profile which would supersede proprietary control protocols like Mackie Control and Logic control with a true industry standard for controlling DAWs via external hardware and software. \nThe MIDI Association will report on the weekly meetings of the DAW Working Group at Music China 2024\, ADC 2024\, and NAMM Show 2025.

SUMMARY:MIDI 2.0 Piano Profile Progress Report
DESCRIPTION:At NAMM 2024\, we showed off a working prototype of the MIDI 2.0 Piano Profile connecting a Roland A-88MKII controller keyboard to Synthogy’s Ivory plugin via Apple Logic running in standalone mode. \nThis year we focused on two other important parts of the Piano Profile- DAW Plugin support and implementation guidelines with accompanying Audio and MIDI files. \nThe MIDI Association member companies that develop plugin formats – Apple (Audio Units)\, Avid (AAX)\, Bitwig (CLAP) and Steinberg (VST) are creating open source software to help plugins handle MIDI 2.0 without requiring a plugin company to have either a SysEx ID or even in depth knowledge of MIDI. 2.0.  \nThe MIDI Association DAW working group is creating open source software that will look at MIDI 2.0 messages from external devices\, extract the information the plugin needs to support Profiles like the Orchestral Articulation\, MPE and Piano profiles and translate those MIDI messages into the native plug formats that plugins already understand. \nAMEI (the Japanese MIDI Standards body) has also worked to create audio samples and MIDI files for use in testing and validating that a device accurately supports the velocity and pedal curves of the Piano profile. These will be included along with an implementation guideline in the final Profile specification.  \nMike Kent- Amenote\, Chair of MIDI 2.0 WG/MIDI Association Executive Board \nDave Starkey- Chair Piano Profile WG\, MIDI Association Technical Standards Board \nGary Girouard- Music Technology at Steinway & Sons \nFrancisco J.

SUMMARY:MIDI 2.0 Drum Profiles
DESCRIPTION:The MIDI Association has made significant progress this year in developing some Profiles focused on electronic drums and drum machines.  \nThe Default Drum Map Profile  defines a MIDI-CI Profile for a default mapping of specific drums to specific Note Numbers. The note map used in this Profile was established by many products in the 1980s as a commonly used set of note assignments for drum sounds and that was later standardized in General MIDI. \nMany drum machines\, grooveboxes\, keyboard workstations\, portable keyboards\, digital pianos\, and software synthesizers (many of which do NOT support the full GM specification) have drum kits that utilize this drum kit mapping because of the vast quantity of MIDI data available that will play properly with these drum maps.  \nElectronic Drums are one of the most successful categories of MIDI instruments. \nMost electronic drums from different manufacturers share a common set of features (standard MIDI messages including velocity\, pan\,etc.) as well as more drum specific features (choking of cymbals\, positional sensing of cymbals and drums\, etc). However\, the MIDI messages used to control these features have not been standardized and mainly rely on manufacturer specific SysEx. A MIDI-CI Profile would define far greater interoperability\, unifying the industry behind a common set of MIDI messages. \nSteve Fisher- Director – Drums Product Development Medeli \nBen Israel- Research and Content Design Manager -Yamaha \nMike Kent- Chair of MIDI 2.0 WG/MIDI Association Executive Board.Drum Profile  Chair Co Founder Amenote\,  \nMike Snyder -Innovation Manager\, Electronic Instruments at Avedis Zildjian Company \nIkuo Kakehashi- Founder of BAC Audio  a team of master electronic instrument engineers who worked on  Zildjian’s new  ALCHEM-E series electronic drum kits\,

SUMMARY:Digitaize - Transforming strings with the power of MIDI
DESCRIPTION:Nick Coleman\, Product Specialist at Digitaize by C.Bechstein Digital is going to showcase this game changing innovation and highlight some of the unique creative possibilities that it enables. \nThe Digitaize Module and sensor seamlessly integrate with the acoustic instrument\, achieving an aesthetically harmonious symbiosis with its acoustic body. The focus is on a non-invasive design\, which in no way impairs either the playing feel or the sound of the instrument. To achieve this\, any contact with the body of the instrument was avoided and care was taken to minimise the contact surface with the instrument. The Digitaize module sits exactly between the fingerboard and the bridge and looks like a natural extension of the fingerboard. The module is connected magnetically with a link that forms the bridge between the module and the sensor. \nThis system can be easily mounted on any string instrument (4 or 5-stringed violin\, viola\, or cello). The module has two built-in microphones (a contact microphone for the vibration and an air microphone for the sound)\, a gyroscope\, and an accelerometer to detect the movement of the instrument\, as well as a haptic sensor to detect the finger position. \nExperience the next level of instrument augmentation in a fun and engaging way.
