MIDI 2.0 will supersede OSC?

Hi folks,

I recently posted an example of my experiments with OSC on a forum, and one of the reactions was basically someone laughing at me and saying: “why on earth would you use this ancient OSC tech when MIDI 2.0 is just around the corner?”

Apart from the obvious rejoinder that i need a solution today, not “around the corner”, i’m curious: has any around here looked into what MIDI 2.0 is capable of?

I would imagine that it will be able to do everything OSC can and much more. In fact if not, that would be very strange, considering they had 40 years to think about it!

So anyone dived into MIDI 2.0 yet and what the possibilities are? Does it also pass messages over wifi and ethernet without the need for additional cable and hardware?

hi,
We are “all” waiting for the midi 2.0 as OSC is not supported natively nor partially by a lots of softwares.
