This meant that a musician could not, for example, plug a Roland keyboard into a Yamaha synthesizer module.

If an event is sent on all channels at the same time, the last channel's transmission is delayed by as much as 16 ms.

Since its release in early January 2020 by the MIDI Manufacturers Association, more details have yet to come out about the new update.

JSON allows any plugged-in device whether it be a keyboard, piano or any other electrical device to describe what it is doing and what it can do rather than having the person operating it, change their settings every time they operate a new device. For example, a MIDI keyboard that is plugged into an iOS device with specific MIDI settings can now be plugged into a Windows device and not have to have their settings manually changed.

Property exchange uses System Exclusive messages that carry <a href="/wiki/JSON" title="JSON">JSON</a> format data. Profiles define common sets of MIDI controllers for various instrument types, such as drawbar organs and analog synths, or for particular tasks, improving interoperability between instruments from different manufacturers.

This new packet format supports a total of 256 MIDI channels, organized in 16 groups of 16 channels; each group can carry either a MIDI 1.0 Protocol stream or new MIDI 2.0 Protocol stream, and can also include system messages, system exclusive data, and timestamps for precise rendering of several simultaneous notes. To simplify initial adoption, existing products are explicitly allowed to only implement MIDI 1.0 messages. The Universal MIDI Packet is intended for high-speed transport such as USB and Ethernet and is not supported on the existing 5-pin DIN connections.<a href="#cite_note-MIDI20-2019-169">[159]</a> System Real-Time and System Common messages are the same as defined in MIDI 1.0.<a href="#cite_note-MIDI20-2019-169">[159]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="New_protocol">New protocol</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=MIDI&action=edit&section=60" title="Edit section: New protocol">edit</a>]</div> As of January 2019, the draft specification of the new protocol supports all core messages that also exist in MIDI 1.0, but extends their precision and resolution; it also defines many new high-precision controller messages.<a href="#cite_note-MIDI20-2019-169">[159]</a> The specification defines default translation rules to convert between MIDI 2.0 Channel Voice and MIDI 1.0 Channel Voice messages that use different data resolution, as well as map 256 MIDI 2.0 streams to 16 MIDI 1.0 streams.<a href="#cite_note-ADC19_MIDI2-172">[162]</a><a href="#cite_note-ADC19-VST3-173">[163]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Data_transfer_formats">Data transfer formats</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=MIDI&action=edit&section=61" title="Edit section: Data transfer formats">edit</a>]</div> System Exclusive 8 messages use a new 8-bit data format, based on Universal System Exclusive messages.
