How do you differentiate voices in MIDI? If I press middle C, the note #
is 60. How do I go back and tell the synth to make the voice that is
currently playing note 60 decrease in volume?
I have to have some index to identify that voice, right? The only shared
index is note #.
The only other option is to say "this is the first note I sent, so it must
be #1", which totally breaks in the face of multiple note inputs.

128 CCs, many of which are well known already. So lets use xRPNs. If I
have 5 parameters available, and I can play 88 notes, that's a LOT of
MIDI. Is it possibly, yeah, sure. Is it the way I think musicians should
be forced to work, I think you know the answer to that..
