The app that allows you to play any instrument with your voice now uses MIDI 2.0.
First Available MIDI 2.0 Controller — Imitone is debuting support for MIDI 2.0 in the form of a free upgrade. The latest software uses MIDI 2.0 to detect the user’s plugins and presets, automatically adapting to the selected instrument. For example, selecting a sound effects patch will enable “exact pitch following”; if a guitar patch is detected it will enable scale correction, attack sensing and legato.
Interactive Guide to MIDI 2.0 — The Imitone team has launched a comprehensive wiki covering the internals of MIDI 2.0 and 1.0 at midi.events. Written primarily for developers and enthusiasts, this website features interactive illustrations of almost every MIDI message including little-known ones.
MIDI 2.0 Pitch & Tuning Profiles — In Imitone’s capacity as Pitch & Tuning chair, they will be consulting with experts in ethnomusicology and synthesis technology in order to improve the way MIDI software works with non-Western traditions and experimental musical scales. Imitone is developing a specification that will bring together MIDI 1.0, MIDI 2.0, MPE and MIDI Tuning Standard and allow these features to inter-operate more smoothly.
