For hardware.  I'm saying that you can assign these to various software packages
which don't usually care about such messages, many soft syns, sequencers etc.
I've had tons of gear that behave differently for each kind of message.  My
Alesis Quadraverb 2 used these messages to switch effects blocks on and off, or
to bypass or whatnot.

Nope: they're part of the standard: 120 is All Sound Off, 121 is All
Controllers Off, and so on. I suspect that practically every module
out there responds to local control on/off and omni/mono/poly changes
as per the standard, rather than allowing them as data controllers.
