MIDI was designed to handle in realtime (10 events from

PS: Even if we reduce MIDI to one channel for real-time playing without
usage of e.g. the nose as an eleventh finger, at least usage of pedals
is included. The amount of data send by just one pedal easily exceeds
what a human could do with ten fingers on black and white keys. A
keyboarder could use one hand to control a joystick (e.g. pitch bend and
modulation at the same time) and two feet to control two pedals and at
the same time use 5 fingers to play black and white keys with after
touch. The MIDI standard allows to do this.
