MIDI-2 is transport agnostic, but USB was one of the transports considered - i.e. all forms of USB. There's a chart somewhere showing what you get for each USB speed. </div>

But the timing issue that people keep mentioning here as a problem with MIDI over USB totally goes away with MIDI-2. That was always going to be an issue trying to kludge something designed for a specific transport onto USB.</div>

<div><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Interesting.<br>
<br>
I had the impression that MIDI 2.0 was completely independent of USB. Although I noticed a *lot* of press about MIDI 2.0, I never saw many details (other than some mention of two-way protocols that would allow editors to know that a specific synth is attached
to the other end of the MIDI 2.0 cable).<br>
<br>
I am also unaware of any new USB-MIDI specification ... it's still pre-USB 2.0<br>
I there a new USB-MIDI spec on the USB.org site?<br>
<br>
Are there any USB-MIDI products shipping that have this new MIDI-2 with proper USB? More importantly, does Apple macOS have USB Class compliant drivers for such interfaces?<br>
<br>
Finally, how does MIDI-2 USB compared to MOTU MTP? Were MOTU involved in consulting on the new specifications?<br>
<br>
