This is because these piano-optimized sounds are expected a MIDI piano keyboard's bend wheel, which isn't very useful for bending more than 2 semitones. 3) Left/right pitch slides will be limited to 2 semitones. This is because MIDI piano keyboards don't have the ability to send Y-axis finger movements. ‍ 2) They don't respond to LinnStrument's Y-axis (forward/backward) control. If they do respond to pressure control, they are expecting the Aftertouch signal of MIDI piano keyboards, which is only sent after the key is fully pressed, so at best finger pressure is used to add a modulation or filter effect to a note that is already playing. When playing such piano-optimized sounds from LinnStrument, you'll notice some limitations: 1) They don't respond to LinnStrument's finger pressure to control the note volume from silence to full. Why? Most synthesizers respond to a single MIDI channel, so this provides the best compatibility with the preset sounds of these one-channel synthesizers, which are intended to be played from a conventional MIDI piano keyboard. By default, LinnStrument sends its MIDI data over a single MIDI channel (channel 1) and with a Bend Range of 2 semitones.

LinnStrument sends standard MIDI messages and therefore works with every MIDI sound generator in existence, so in a sense every MIDI sound generator is recommended.
