Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Midi Solutions , I think, stills makes those pocket side midi gadgets, one 
of them does velocity rescaling.  (Anatek used to make them too before they 
folded)

... but I would like to recommend the Oberheim Navigator, one of Oberheim's 
"Perf-X" series - it was a totally cool series of MIDI message manipulators 
in flat plastic cases.  The Navigator has velocity remapping, and a whole 
lot more.  You might be able to find one cheap still.

Of course, these boxes have the worst interface ever created - they're 
useless without the manual!
=====================
The Perf-X series

Navigator: Midi message remapping - rescale, transform, rechannel, and more

Systemizer: Midi note remapper - not only can you create keyboard zones, 
you can "rotate" the note assignment amongst "groups" of zones - Meaning 
you can use use a CZ101 in mono mode (responding to 4 contiguous midi 
channels), and by repeatedly playing a note get 4 different notes in 
succession - very cool.

Cyclone: an incredibly powerful, flexible arpeggiator - the most sought after

Drummer: never used one - a type of rhythm pattern generator - any one here 
used one?

Strummer: never used one - a kind of arpeggiator, supposed to make natural 
guitar "strums" from midi input

I heard there was another one called the "Chordator" , but I don't know for 
sure if this was ever actually marketed, or if it really existed.
