Are you saying a USB2 port will provide some latency improvements for any USB device - including those made for USB 1, or do they have to be specifically made for the new protocol?

Keep in mind, in order to use the USB-V2.0 with high-speed capability, the USB-V2.0 host from PC is required. Most of new PC/Mother-board are shipped with 8 ports of USB-V2.0 now, otherwise, with old PC, you might need the add-on PCI card.
Technically, For the MIDI with the used of USB-V2.0 does not need the 480MBS bandwidth but it has the 8 times better latency. For instance, instead of 1 mili second on the USB 1.x, the USB 2.x has the latency about 1/8 of mili second, it's called micro-frame, which is about 125us.
