Ideally, controller 7 would reposition the lid of your piano. That way, it would change the volume of sound without changing the timbre. Obviously, that is not practical.
Are you sure? Yamaha could be missing out on an opportunity here. If Proportional Lid Angle(tm) is implemented for the E4 Disklavier on MIDI controller 7, I can already imagine videos from Craig Knudsen and The Piano Guys making use of this new feature. It would be no more gimmicky than the Talking Piano video or the Mark IV's Key Waves demo. One of the bundled demo files could be ROOM_FAN.MID, which would fully open and close the lid slowly for an hour on those hot summer days.
