Only Alesis AFAIK

FYI the NRPNs work very easily and smoothly with an Akai MPC4000 sequencer - and you can smoothly modulate just about anything imaginable with em, so I think there is a technical and creative advantage.

The Virus uses adaptive smoothing which works great - as smooth as I 
need anyway. The higher resolution may make sense for MIDI recorder-type 
sequencers but not for step sequencing applications - again all my 
opinion. I think I waffled on a bit on the topic in my Alesis Ion 
review... :)
