I don't know how it would be if they are switching from 8 bit to 32 bit.
I imagine most devices that come with MIDI 2.0 will have an option to run in either 1 or 2.

Oh really? Riddle me this, then: a MIDI controller has a USB port. A synth has a USB port.
Connect the two without using an external power source for the adapter (Hint: you can't).
The data transmitted over MIDI and USB MIDI is the same, it's not the problem. It's the same protocol.
The problem is that MIDI OUT on a MIDI controller supplies power, and USB midi out on a device DOES NOT, because it's a slave device.
This a physical layer problem no matter how you slice it.
Now go and read the question I asked again.
> Physical layer is the easiest thing to get an adapter for
I'm saying it's not.
Truthfully there is nothing to be gained for me continuing this exchange because I in fact have plugged a Keith McMillen k-board into an op-z and a circuit rhythm and noticed it working perfectly, so your truisms are just that you don't know any synths that are battery powered usb hosts, a problem which is entirely unrelated to your inability to understand the difference between physical connectors and the logical models and data processing issues you described as physical in some weird need to repeat what I said while insisting I am wrong.
Have a good one.
