No: For 55 or so organ stops, you'd need 55 boolean controllers; this
can be easily done with NRPNs.
they don't even need to be NRPNs. there's nothing requiring the
interpretation of MIDI CC #7 as "volume" unless it makes sense for the
application. etc.
Keep in mind that you might want to control 2 devices in unison. You
will send control 7 to both devices, one device is using it for volume
and the other device is using it for anything else. It's not a good idea
to use control 7, because for some oldish synth you can't disable
receiving control 7.
