because frankly MIDI doesn't have the bandwidth to support the amount of data that it
generates. The fact that all the aftertouch effects in the 80 are under voltage control is the
critical difference. Squeezing all that data into 1 midi cable makes the timing sloppy and
the aftertouch controllers less than smooth. Mostly you hear parameters jumping around,
rather than gliding around.
