Generally available controlers is not very specific. If its Midi, its
event driven, the highest rate is the speed Midi can send data (ca. 1 ms
per command) I prefer that approach over any "Sampling rate" sometimes
called polling. A sample rate of 10-25 ms might be fine, but is always
too slow for catching rythmic events. I need the event in the moment it
happens. 1 ms is fine for that. If you do it with polling/sample rate,
you'd need a sample rate of 1 kHz which produces most of the time 
unneeded data and locks your machine for no advantage...
