In the beginning of 2019, some 35 years after its introduction, version 2.0 of the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, better known as MIDI, was announced. MIDI 2.0 introduces many new features, two of them being two new connectors. This means that it is time for a new universal MIDI interface breakout board.
