OK, that confirms my experience :-)

Ah ... OK, understood.

cc73 = Attack Time opens up lots of musical possibilites; also
cc66 = Sostenuto Pedal is very desirable, eg to sustain a low
note for a few seconds leaving two hands free to improvise...

One CC which should be low-cpu and easy to implement would be
cc92 = Tremolo Depth, because it only needs one multiplication
and an LFO ...

Thanks,  Regards,  Peter Billam

P.S.
 It's a shame that the midi standard only offers Depth, and not
 also Tremolo Frequency, because even the earliest guitar amps
 used to have Depth and Frequency, and it's often useful to adjust
 the Frequency to fit the tempo or to give a different "sound".
 But within the standard there's nothing can be done about that.
