In my experience as a musician, I meet a lot of
piano players for whom the difference bewteen MIDI 1 and MIDI 2 is just a
number (like 192k ADC) and would not affect their performance. However, I have
not met very many keyboard artists aside from those who work from their bedroom
and who's music I only hear on youtube, soundcloud, etc. I do not know how much
difference MIDI 2 would make for most of these people either. Epecially
concidering how many of them use either their qwerty kb to enter notes or a one
or two octave unit without even velocity...
In fact MIDI 2 seems to be a thing mostly for non-kb instruments or computer
generated material (most of which is probably using CV instead of MIDI anyway).
Well, it all depends :-)
I my world there's a group of users for whose field standard MIDI just does'nt
work: teaching
and researching professional piano playing. The main obstacle is (the missing)
velocity/volume/attack speed
resolution. So our teachers and researchers need to use the partly-proprietary Yamaha
Disklavier.
So,for them, a modern MIDI 2 is appreciated.
