    Currently considering purchase and/or upgrade of some NI hard & software (a.o. Komplete Kontrol master keyboard).

    Is there anything that can be said -at this moment- of what the impact of Midi 2.0 will be on currently available products ?
    Especially, will currently available hardware be able to update to support Midi 2.0 (besides the obvious Midi 2.0-provided backward compatibility/interoperability).
    Does NI plan to provide firmware/software updates so a 2019 keyboard / controller will not be outdated in 2020 ?

    thx for any insight ...

    With backward compatibility, no MIDI gear will be obsolete. NI does not disclose future plans, but no reason they will not add 2.0 support once it actually happens. Obviously hardware cannot change,so a keyboard without multitouch hardware will not support multitouch extensions.
