Hello,
does anyone know what the midi 2.o specs in Cubase/ Nuendo are? I Contacted Steinberg a while ago received a message that they will reply in 24 hours. instead they a replied asking me if my questions have been answered.
that was a week ago haven’t heard from them. Since!

Below is the email I sent them;

Hello,

What are Nuendo 13 midi 2.0 specifications?

MidiTime resolution such as ticks per; second, frame, etc.

The velocity resolution, Jr Timestamp timing, note on note event attribute.

What is the conversion from an audio file recorded at 24bit 48 kHz to Midi 2.0.

Differences to the VST 3 SDK midi 2.0 specs?

As of now, hardly anything except for the Logic could bring 2.0 implementation, since only Apple, its developer, support it on an OS level, whereas the rest of the DAWs out there are cross-platform, and, as so, their respective developers will follow MS after Windows will include that protocol with the further update.

Is it even meant to work that way?

Cubase and Nuendo are stating Midi 2.0 implementation;

“MIDI 2.0
With support for high resolution velocity, CC, aftertouch, pitch bend, and poly pressure data, Cubase 13 is ready for the widespread adoption of MIDI 2.0.”

It’s possible Steinberg is using a beta midi 2.0 version from Microsoft. See the website!
you can read about midI 2.0 specification at https://www.midi.org/specifications/midi-2-0-specifications.
 
Hi,
yes I read about Microsoft’s intention to introduce midi 2.0 in 2024. My email to Steinberg/ Yamaha was inquiring about details on Steinberg statement on their website regarding midi 2.0 implementation within Cubendo 13.
The statement in quotatIon marks (“”) is taken from Steinberg website.

“What exactly you're referring to?” looks like we are talking past each other.
Let me give you a scenario I am investigating. I would like to convert multiple drum tracks into midi without loosing midi value and velocity information.
Midi1.0 will convert 24 bit audio dynamics into 7bit velocity information. Similar happens to the time domain of the audio file.
MIDI 2.0 has the ability to convert 24 bit audio dynamic information into 32bit integer The Vst3 specs. Shows it has the ability to convert an audio track into midi velocity at 32bit float.

Biel Bremers from multitrack studio replied to my question regarding this issue;
”The MIDI 2.0 note velocity is 16 bits, and that's what you get when you convert audio to MIDI in MultitrackStudio.
in the time domain it still uses the MIDI 1.0 timing resolution, but it's MUCH better than you think. In MultitrackStudio you can choose between '480 ticks per quarter note' or '30 frames per sec./200 ticks per frame'.”

Anyway I just realized that I Cubendo may have already implemented the existing VST3 format to convert audio into even better that MIDI 2.0 Resolution.
Unfortunately I can’t find information On this!
 
That's quite a tricky concept you're talking about, now I see. But my best guess is that accuracy of conversion is on the useful for initial recognition VariAudio engine itself there, rather than MIDI standard.
And for the topic you've created around the same subject: for drum tracks recognition there are appropriate triggering software not to mention whole "Hitpoints" functionality.
