How will MIDI 2.0 change music? (2020)
It is a shame OSC didn't specify a minimum standard set of message names to use. I'm looking up and found a proposal for a standard namespace [1] though I'm not sure that even caught on.

How will MIDI 2.0 change music? (2020)
To my knowledge there are no GM SFZ instrument packs which contain enough instruments to play any MIDI file out there (https://github.com/sfzinstruments/Discord-SFZ-GM-Bank has like 10 melodic instruments so far). So I have to pick instruments from the ground up when creating a DAW project (and I don't have a good collection yet), rather than using a unified full-GM bank as a starting point. And don't even think about downloading (eg. Doom) MIDI files and playing them in a soundfont of choice.
What's the spiritual successor to General MIDI? Or is the concept no longer viable for (or even wanted by) mainstream electronic, or even semi-orchestral, composers?
What are some alternatives?
