The LanBox has a "write to MIDI" command that allows you to send any 
type of MIDI message to the MIDI Out port of the LanBox (which you'd 
connect to your grid).  So you can control your grid any way you like, 
the LanBox can produce everything.

For example:

write 91 00 7F to MIDI   - channel 1, note 0, maximum velocity
write 92 3C 01 to MIDI   - channel 2, note 60, minimum velocity
write 92 3C 00 to MIDI   - channel 2, note 60, note off

in general:

write 9x yy zz to MIDI   - channel x, note yy, velocity zz
write Bx yy zz to MIDI   - channel x, controller yy, value zz
write Ex yy yy to MIDI   - channel x, pitch-bend yyyy
