Keep in mind that you might want to control 2

send control 7 to both devices, one device is using it for volume and the

control 7, because for some oldish synth you can't disable receiving control
7.
that's why MIDI has 16 channels.
That doesn't help you when you'er playing one synth by it's keyboard and
another synth in unison by MIDI, while both synth don't support
disabling some MIDI controllers. That's why it's common not to use
control 7 for anything else but volume.
