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.
