We’ve also recently added support for spatial audio for immersive experiences.

These enhancements included: low-latency improvements to WASAPI, additional driver work with partners to opt-in to smaller buffers for lower latency on modern Windows 10 devices like Surface and phones like the 950/950xl tweaks to enable raw audio processing without any latency-adding DSP a new low-latency UWP Audio and effects API named AudioGraph and, of course, a new UWP MIDI API. In addition, we included a number of audio-focused enhancements when Windows 10 was released last summer. MIDI Helper libraries for C# and PowerShell.The Win32 wrapper for UWP MIDI (making the API accessible to desktop apps).New Bluetooth LE MIDI support in Windows 10 Anniversary Update.UWP MIDI Basics – using MIDI in Windows Store apps.

In this post, we’ll talk about several new things we’ve created to make MIDI even more useful in your apps: Even the Arduino Firmata protocol is based on MIDI. It’s used for everything from controlling synthesizers and sequencers and changing patches for set lists, to synchronizing mixers and even switching cameras on podcasts using a MIDI control surface.

Since its standardization in 1983, MIDI has remained the most used and arguably most important communications protocol in music production. But that’s only a tiny part of what MIDI really is. Those unfamiliar with music technology may think of MIDI as just. Since then, most MIDI interfaces have moved to USB and our in-box support has kept pace, with a class driver and APIs that support those new interfaces.

Windows has had built-in MIDI support going back to the 16-bit days. As Windows 10 evolves, we are continuing to build in support for musician-focused technologies.
