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.

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: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: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:Network MIDI 2.0 (UDP) Transport Specification
DESCRIPTION:The Network MIDI 2.0 (UDP) Transport Specification defines a way to connect home studios or performance venues via Ethernet and wireless LAN on a local area network using MIDI 1.0 and MIDI 2.0 UMP packets.  \nThe advantages of using a network for MIDI are: \nOverall advantages:  \n\nUDP can be sent over both Ethernet cables and wireless networks.\nLogical connection setup (Session Management)\n\nThe user has full control over which device is able to send/receive MIDI with which other device (or application)\nThe connection topology can be changed in software without having to move physical cables.\nMany MIDI streams (sessions) can be configured on the same cable\nSimple security mechanisms available in Network MIDI 2.0 help prevent unauthorized access\n\n\nPeer to peer connection is possible without the need to route data through a computer.\n\nEthernet Advantages \n\nLong distance\n\nEthernet cables can transmit data up to 100 meters without any signal loss or degradation.\n\n\nLow latency\n\nTypical latency on Ethernet is below 1ms\n\n\nHigh bandwidth\n\n100MBit/s or 1GBit/s bandwidth on Ethernet\nOne cable is enough for many logical connections\n\n\nAuto-Discovery\n\nCan select devices to connect by name\n\n\nGround isolation\n\nPhysical connections are electrically isolated\, reducing the chances of electrical grounding noise issues.\n\n\nOff-the-shelf parts and infrastructure\n\nCables\, routers\, switches\, and components are readily available and cost effective\nMany transports for audio already use Ethernet. Some of those are open standards (i.e. AES67) and some are proprietary. Being able to run MIDI 2.0 as a control protocol over the same cables that run audio can greatly expand the use of MIDI 2.0.\n\n\n\nPanelists:  \nFlorian Bomers – Chair  of the Network Working Group / President and founder of Bome Software which has developed and released MIDI and audio software for Windows\, macOS\, iOS\, Android\, and Linux. The BomeBox™: a versatile USB\, MIDI\, and Ethernet connector and processor. \nPete Brown- MIDI Association Executive Board Chair/ Microsoft Software Engineer \nAndrew Mee-Chair of the MIDI 2.0 Developer Support working group\, Yamaha designated rep  and developer of the MIDI Workbench \nMike Kent- Chair of The MIDI 2.0 Working Group/Co-Founder/Chief Strategy Officer of AmeNote Inc.

SUMMARY:MIDI Lifetime Achievement Awards 2025
DESCRIPTION:The MIDI Association will present John Bowen\, Katsuhiko “Karl” Hirano\, Tadao Kikumoto\, Tetsuo Nishimoto\, Chris Meyer\, Jeff Rona and Brian Vincik with MIDI Association Lifetime Achievement awards for their contributions to MIDI from 1983 to 1990. \nJohn Bowen- John Bowen was a product specialist and sound designer at Sequential Circuits during the early days of the synthesizer boom of the late 1970s. John worked with Sequential founder Dave Smith and then with Karl Hirano and Dave at the Dave Smith Division of Yamaha and at Korg R&D San Jose. Brian Vincik and John were in charge of the dissemination of the MIDI specification around the world in the early chaotic days of MIDI before The MIDI Association was formed in 1985. \nKatsuhiko “Karl” Hirano ( 平野 勝彦 Hirano Katsuhiko)- Karl worked for both Yamaha and Korg. At Yamaha he worked on the DX7 (one of the very first products to implement MIDI) and headed up communications between the Japanese MIDI organization and The MIDI Association in MIDI’s early years. He worked in San Jose with Yamaha’s Dave Smith division and then moved with Dave Smith to Korg when Korg R&D was established. Hirano-san passed away in 2019.  \nTadao Kikumoto (菊本忠男\, Kikumoto Tadao) was Roland’s senior managing director and head of its R&D center. He designed the TB-303 bass synthesizer and the TR-909 drum machine. He was also the chief engineer of the Roland TR-808 drum machine.  He made suggestions for the early MIDI 1.0 spec that included adding Tempo\, Start\, and Stop messages. \nChris Meyer was the first chair of the MIDI Association’s Technical Standard Board and worked at Sequential Circuits\, Digidesign\, Marion Systems (Tom Oberheim)\, and Roland R&D U.S. His work as the first TSB chair led to many important developments in MIDI including MIDI Time Code and the Sample Dump Standard. Today he runs the website\, Facebook page\, and YouTube channel LEARNING MODULAR\, where he teaches others how to master modular synthesis. \nTetsuo Nishimoto (西元 哲夫\, Nishimoto\, Tetsuo) worked in the LM Design at Nippon Gakki Co. (Yamaha).  He drafted the initial responses to the Universal Synthesizer Interface proposal from Dave Smith that eventually became MIDI. He also helped create the very first Yamaha synths including the legendary GS1 and the DX7 taking Yamaha on a path from home organs to synthesizers. \nJeff Rona is an American composer for film. He was a member of Hans Zimmer’s MediaVentures. His credits include Sharkwater\, Traffic\, God of War III\, Phantom and Veeram. Jeff Rona was the founder and past president of MMA\, the MIDI Manufacturers Association (DBA The MIDI Association). Jeff has also been a judge in The MIDI Innovation Awards for several years.  \nBrian Vincik- Brian formed the first MIDI user group called the International MIDI Association (IMA)  in 1983 which was the sole source for the MIDI specification 1.0 (outside of Japan) in those early years in MIDI’s development. Brian was an engineer at Hewlett Packard and saw right away the potential that MIDI could have on the computer industry. The IMA was responsible for distributing the MIDI specification for several years during MIDI’s formative years.

DESCRIPTION:MIDI 2.0 Workbench \nThe MIDI 2.0 Workbench is a free tool to help developers develop\, debug (and deploy) MIDI 2.0 Applications and Devices. It runs on Windows\, Mac and Linux. The Workbench connects to your device or software\, to test various MIDI 2.0 implementation features against official specifications. The MIDI 2.0 Workbench is the only automated tool that generates the MIDI 2.0 Compliance Checklist required to license the MIDI 2.0 Logo from the MIDI Association. The MIDI 2.0 Workbench is currently available as source code for you to compile. We will release binaries shortly.\nAmeNote ProtoZOA and USB MIDI 2.0 Device\nThe AmeNote ProtoZOA hardware platform is a flexible prototyping tool for MIDI 2.0 and is the standard testing device chosen by and funded in part by the MIDI Association. Open source firmware provides MIDI 2.0 interfaces and functions for developers to use in their own hardware and software products. ProtoZOA provides a USB MIDI 2.0 Class Compliant Device on a Raspberry Pico\, designed specifically to jump-start prototyping and validation of Universal MIDI Packet (UMP) functions and fuel the MIDI 2.0 revolution. ProtoZOA integrates closely with the MIDI 2.0 Workbench. \nTiny USB MIDI 2.0 Device\nThis is a Tiny USB Device driver for USB MIDI 1.0 and USB MIDI 2.0 as a unified device. Allows implementor to create hardware MIDI devices which are fully compliant with USB Device Class specifications. Includes the fallback mechanism from 2.0 to 1.0 as defined in USB MIDI 2.0. \nUSB MIDI 2.0 Descriptor Builder\nThis is tool for easily creating valid descriptors for USB MIDI 2.0 Devices\, which are so easy to get wrong. Fill in properties in a form to generate an output of the necessary descriptors. Supports the tusb_ump library\, a USB Device used in the ProtoZOA\, and the Linux MIDI2 Gadget Driver. \nni-midi2\nThe library provides the basic functionality of UMP 1.1 and MIDI-CI 1.2 by providing base classes for all UMP 1.1 packet types\, (Universal) System Exclusive messages and MIDI-CI messages. There are concrete types for controllers\, velocity and pitch\, plus type aliases for common message field types. Mathematical operators allow to do integer / fixed point math on pitches and controllers\, type constructors allow initialization with values of different resolution. Conrete instances of packets or messages are created using factory functions. Incoming packets and messages are inspected using data views. The library is completed by a number of helper functionalities dealing with conversion from / to MIDI 1 byte stream data format\, collecting sysex messages and more. \nAM_MIDI2.0Lib\nThis is a general purposes Library for building MIDI 2.0 Devices and Applications.

DESCRIPTION:There are many orchestral sample libraries in the market\, and they are essential for film scoring\, game audio\, studio\, and live MIDI applications. These orchestral libraries have many kinds of articulations.   \nFor example\, a string library might have a different set of samples for every articulation including marcato\, staccato\, pizzicato\, etc. \nHowever\, there is no industry standard method-the method for selecting these different articulations has been different for each developer.  Many developers use notes at the lower end of the MIDI note range for “key switching”\, but the actual keys used are different between different developers. Some developers use CC messages to switch between articulations\, but again there is no industry wide consistency. Some plugin formats now have the ability for per note selection of articulations\, but again the method for inputting that data is different for different applications.  \nIt is the goal of the MIDI-CI Profile for Note On Orchestral Articulation to provide a consistent way to encode articulation information directly in the MIDI 2.0 Note On message\, using the Attribute Type and Attribute Data fields. \nIn arriving at this Profile\, a study was made of orchestral instrument families\, choir\, big band instruments\, guitar\, keyboard instruments\, and various non-western instruments to evaluate the degree to which they share common performance attributes and sound production techniques. Notation symbols and performance indications were also considered to determine\, for example\, how successfully a violin note marked with a trill might result in a musically meaningful or analogous articulation when the part is copied to an instrument as far afield as timpani—all without the composer having to re-articulate the timpani part\, at least initially. \nThe Profile provides a comprehensive yet concise system of articulation mapping that includes a wide palette of articulation types and supports articulation equivalence across eight instrument categories. \nThe Profile was designed to offer articulation equivalence — a system of articulation mapping that allows a passage articulated for one instrument to be copied to another track and playedplay back with an equivalent or analogous articulation\, regardless of the target instrument type. \nWhen implemented by sample library developers\, the Profile will greatly aid composers in highly significant ways. \nFirst\, it will simplify the process of substituting or layering sounds from the same or different sample libraries; Second\, it will allow composers to quickly audition and orchestrate unison passages by copying an articulated part to other tracks and hear them to play back with equivalent or analogous articulations.

SUMMARY:Roland A88mkII and Synthogy Ivory Piano Profile Demo
DESCRIPTION:At the April 2023 NAMM show\, Synthogy and Roland collaborated to showcase the first public demonstration MIDI 2.0 technology.\nThis NAMM show they are raising the bar and showcasing a demonstration of the new Piano Profile. \nThis Profile will make creating performances on one piano and playing them back on another more accurate. \nRoland Product Specialist Scott Tibbs will perform. \nScott has amassed a large body of music with numerous recording artists such as Beyoncé\, Mary J. Blige\, Howard Jones\, Bruce Springsteen\, Nelly\, Lil’ Wayne\, Jamie Fox\, Robin Thicke\, Bette Midler\, Destiny’s Child\, Jazmine Sullivan\, Amerie\, Jamie Foxx\, Teddy Riley\, Omar Hakim\, Billy Cobham\, and more. \nBackground \nThe piano is arguably the most important musical instrument in Western music traditions. It is essential to all styles of music from classical to jazz to pop\, so when the MIDI Association started to develop Profiles\, a Piano Profile was at the top of the list.  \nThis piano Profile is focused on Acoustic Pianos with mechanical key mechanisms driven by MIDI\, Digital Acoustic Piano Tone Generators (both hardware and software)\, and physical MIDI keyboards that send MIDI messages and the most common of all – Digital Pianos which incorporate both Digital Acoustic Piano Tone Generators and physical MIDI keyboard. The Profile does not address electro-mechanical  pianos or the extended features of digital ensemble pianos. \nGoals\nThe goal is a Piano Profile that defines the MIDI Messages and bi-directional MIDI-CI communication necessary to allow the performance of an acoustic piano piece on one device that supports the Piano Profile to be accurately rendered on any other device which also supports the Profile. \nThe Piano Profile defines the MIDI Messages and bi-directional MIDI-CI communication necessary to allow the performance of an acoustic piano piece on one device that supports the Piano Profile to be accurately rendered on any other device which also supports the Profile.   \nThe Profile provides support for remote (over the internet) performance.   \nThe Piano Profile details what information needs to be included in a Standard MIDI File (SMF2) and the mechanisms needed to accurately reproduce a piano performance from a file.  \nThe Piano Profile addresses the following use cases:  \n\nPiano + tone generator (the most typical MIDI 1.0 use case)\nOnline live broadcasting of piano performances\nOnline lessons with a teacher and student\nMIDI Streaming of recorded piano performances\nMusic production (use of the Piano Profile with DAWs)\nSMF Online sales

SUMMARY:Casio's Music Tapestry
DESCRIPTION:Music Tapestry is a technology that creates pictures out of musical performances.  \nThe technology references musical elements such as pitches and touch to generate evolving imagery in real time\, which ultimately forms a single still image when the performer stops playing. Using musical performance analytics based on music theory\,  \nMusic Tapestry parses the subtleties of piano performances for tonality\, beat/rhythm\, chord\, and chord progression and immediately translates these into colors and shapes such as flowers and leaves that match the feel of the music. Fun-spirited playing yields bright\, cheery results\, while chic approaches produce artwork with an accordingly refined ambiance.  \nSince it is impossible to play the same piece in the same way twice\, the result is different with every performance\, never generating exactly the same artwork.

SUMMARY:Ellis Hall- The Ambassador Of Soul
DESCRIPTION:  \n“When people ask me about my blindness\, I tell them\, ‘I didn’t pay the electric bill on time… So they cut the lights out on me!'” – Ellis Hall \nThrough the ages\, there have been a number of famous blind African American male entertainers in Gospel\, Blues\, Soul and Pop but few as unilaterally gifted as Ellis Hall. What other man can claim to have written 3\,800 songs\, sung at the funeral of Helen Keller at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York and before Nelson Mandela in Johannesburg\, Africa\, been a member of Oakland Soul band Tower of Power and a lead voice for the animated California Raisins\, been nominated for a Ovation Theater Award for his very first stage role in “The Gospel At Colonus” (in which he sang\, acted\, and walked the stage and stair props mostly unattended)\, and penned the official song of the city where he grew up: Claxton\, Georgia. Welcome to the unprecedented greatness of Ellis Hall. \nWhen it comes to music\, Ellis Hall does it all. He is a seasoned and accomplished vocalist in possession of a powerful 5-octave range. He is a songwriter\, arranger\, producer and educator that teaches clinics in which he records all the parts of a song in 45 minutes.
