Midi is a great tool and can have soul if the programmer puts soul into it. Having no soul can be said of just about any song or piece of music of any style, genre or generation....it very much depends on the skills and soul of the writer and performer.
We criticise many modern gizmos and tools as having no soul......but the soul comes from the way instruments or tools are used. I have heard tons of soulless stuff produced in the traditional manner....and a lot of soulful MIDI.
