Amen.

No. You sequencer isn't forced to send MIDI via the VST or DXi graph, is
it?. If you're using an external MIDI device with your sequencer, it will
talk MIDI. GIMPI won't even come into it.
GIMPI synths need much the same info as MIDI synths, but they don't need
the restictions of MIDI. Converting CC to a float format saves the synth a
lot of work. It can still be a normalised value, i.e. retain the advantages
of MIDI, the ability to route it in unusual ways.
Best Regards,
Jeff
