Yes... but, even still -- volume, brightness, pitch bend, modulation,
breath control, etc are still sent as discrete packets in MIDI.
Presumably, they could then be mapped to discrete keystrokes. About the
only thing that wouldn't have a direct one-to-one corollary would be
SysEX packets. The "faders" on MIDI devices, while seeming continuous,
are actually streaming packets on the MIDI network while being operated.
