1) Changes in MIDI don't usually play back until you click the stop button in the Playback tool. This tells the program to dump the memory of the previous playback.
2) Make sure that the play continuous data is checked in the playback preferences. 3) I know you don't want to go this route, but changing key velocities rather that controller data has some advantages depending on the synth or sampler. (e.g., you can get different attacks or sounds at different velocity levels and a better signal to noise ratio and so on). Can you set volume levels from within the mixer, real or virtual? This may be the best way to go for instrument templates that you use a lot. Two last "D'oh" kind of things to check: Are you changing continuous controller #7 or some other number? Is your synth/sampler/midi interface/quicktime instrument filtering out controller data in some way?
