Some added context: MIDI 2.0 is still not that widely supported (in hosts, plugins, etc). It's also not present in 99% of currently on the market hardware synths and music controllers etc you can buy, and it's available in 0% of older hardware.
There's also MPE which adds some more expressive capabilities to existing MIDI hosts, plugins, and hardware, which has some (small still) adoption. MPE is an extension to MIDI 1.0 to add polyphonic expressivity, and a lot of companies have added it in an ad-hoc fashion (what it offers is within the bounds of MIDI 1.0 "extended" modes).
So, unless you're living in the cutting edge, MIDI 2.0 will not be of much use for modern music production for the next few years at least.
That was true a few years ago. The next few years are here :) take another look, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
E: that sounded like snark, definitely not the intention, Ableton supports MPE now and they were lagging behind. Roger Linn keeps a list of MPE/MIDI2 compatible software and hardware, every time I revisit it, the list has grow : https://www.rogerlinndesign.com/support/support-linnstrument...
coldtea’s point is that MPE is backwards-compatible with MIDI, but MIDI 2.0 is not.
Linn’s list appears to include MPE devices but I can’t find any mention of MIDI 2.0. I’m not sure why you’re calling this a list of “MPE/MIDI2 compatible” devices.
It sounds like you’re saying that MIDI 2.0 is widely supported; do you have a list of MIDI2 devices on the market?
