    I’m slightly disturbed by this. MIDI was the one interface done so well it literally didn’t need to get changed for forty years. At least the update is backwards compatible so old devices will still work.

      I think the auto-configuration stuff will be great for industry folks. Not having to manually set up configuration is a huge timesaver. Plus communication between devices could lead to some pretty cool side effects

        Or it’s gonna be a bloated mess of standards

          Damn, so looking into it more, it's an interface agnostic standard so that's fucking cool. You can implement it on anything (usb, ethernet, HDMI if you're weird). That's huge for simplicity.

        Yea I dig that. Every time I try to setup my device to a computer there’s a minor headache of doing the settings.
