Clarity over which DAWS support MIDI 2?

[aMUSEd]

Yes I can Google this but I get inconsistent answers. Google AI tells me it's just Logic Pro, Cubase and Multitrack Studio

However someone on VI Control says 'Logic, Cubase and Studio One have all supported MIDI 2.0 internally for some time' but regarding Studio One (Fender Studio now) I can't see any other evidence of that or do they just mean developer builds, not for the general public?

Apparently Bitwig also supports MIDI 2 'internally' - what does that mean? An 'internal' build (ie available to the developers but not yet released) or internally as in 'under the hood' but not user selectable yet?

and then i believe its this video where they actually praise how apple implemented midi 2.0



but they also seem to love bitwig a lot on the midi association channel (they are who made midi 2.0 i believe)

Yes MIDI 2 actually seems to be working well in Logic 12, it wasn't fit for purpose last time I tested it

Logic, Cubase, Bremmers MultitrackStudio. Others are coming. Most DAWs have been working with us during our MIDI 2.0 development for Windows. Giel Bremmers and the Cubase team have been especially active and helpful.

JUCE also supports MIDI 2.0.

The MIDI 2.0 SDK for Windows doesn't have a go-live license yet because we've been busy fixing 30+ years of backwards compatibility issues that have cropped up since we ripped and replaced everything under the hood MIDI-wise in Windows. But now, the entire MIDI infrastructure, service, etc. inside Windows is all native MIDI 2.0/UMP. We translate as needed.

That's me in the purple shirt in the MIDI Association video. And yes, props to Apple for getting there first.
