Well, Koan and Mr Grogins might be non-mainstream musicians, but their issues apply equally to others, especially guitarists and other stringed instruments. They can't be dismissed as a minority. They've been shut out for too long. I've tried many times to simulate realistic guitar playing over MIDI. Sure, I can assign each string a different MIDI channel, then spend hours shuffling the MIDI data onto separate tracks, editing pitch-bends by hand, but in the end it becomes just too time consuming, too much hassle. Just because it's posible, don't make it practical. If this was some huge, insurmountable problem, I'm sure we'd understand it wasn't possible. But the solution is easy, extend MIDI note-on parameters to floating point (via GMPI parameters). It's easy, it's clean, it's backward compatible.
