eDRUMin will need an update

VST too.

Midi 2.0. Seems pretty cool technology.

When MIDI 2.0 is really here...

I thought MIDI 2.0 was adopted/accepted Jan 2020. The Roland A-88MKII is MIDI 2.0 ready. I guess we are waiting on software to support as well.

How many drum modules support MIDI 2? How many drum apps support it? How will future apps take advantage of new functionality in MIDI 2.l? I wouldn't say it's really here.

Having a specification is helpful, but developers need APIs to work with, for which none exist. Making my own would be a huge undertaking.

I figured as much.

Yeah I knew that it's not worth it yet. While there's no support by the softwares, it doesn't matter for the eDRUMin.

It's just that it seems really great as a new version. A lot more nuances will be possible in the sound.

I disagree. MIDI 1.0 is not the bottleneck in the pursuit of the ultimate electronic drum setup.

I do however expect MIDI 2.0 property exchange messages to facilitate coordinating drum hardware and VSTs setup. Basically plug and playability.
