I'm sure someone has mentioned this but MIDI has two continuous controller numbers dedicated to volume changes, CC#7 (Volume) & CC#11 (Expression).

CC#7 sets the maximum volume level a track can create. Normally you want to set CC#7 at the beginning of each track in a song file and then leave it alone.

CC#11 changes the volume level within a track, You use it like you change the waveform envelope in a DAW to change track volume level in real time.

If you need a quick review of MIDI continuous controller numbers forum member Bob Norton has a webpage with a list and short description +++ HERE +++
