you surely do if you have a  MIDI input device - MIDI just sends a note
number, for example, 63 for the note between D and E.
That could be D-sharp or E-flat (or, of course even F-double-flat if we
are being pedantic).
The enharmonic range specifies the outer limits so you know which note
you'll get. Even baroque music will sometimes have both B-flat and
A-sharp in one movement, and so you have to shift the range sharp-wards
or flat-wards accordingly. The range is displayed on the MIDI-in
Controls.
