Midi.... well a midi cable is designed to transport digital bytes (128). with this 0 is counted a number so the volume can be expressed as 0-127.
this means that the maximum amount of data that can flow through at once is 128 bytes. Of course now most midi controllers are connected via usb 'which allows a lot more traffic' but midi still only allows 128, it has been this way from the very beginning. (hence the earlier reference about midi surviving the ages.)
