In April 2024, the MIDI 2.0 Transport Working Group of the MIDI Association held a meeting to record their progress towards a new Transport specification. This specification will define the mechanisms and the message format for exchanging Universal MIDI Packet messages via a local area network. This enables the transport of MIDI 1.0 Protocol and MIDI 2.0 Protocol. This also defines discovery of available Network MIDI devices and Hosts, and management of Network MIDI Sessions.
