I guess yes, but since it's a control signal, it probably wouldn't be
noticeable

well the idea was to do DSP on the signal with the usual tools (ladspa,
lv2, rakarrack etc.) which you can't do directly on MIDI. I.e. you could
do things like filtering, distortion, delay, reverb etc. on the control
signal, which you can't on MIDI.
