I also downloaded the MidiPipe program for the Mac (I have both Mac

anyone knows how to use external MIDI devices with the with MidiPipe
and System X, that might be the best solution but I think it is just
not supported.
You can definitely use MidiPipe with external devices! Whatever MIDI devices that are available to OS X on the Mac are available to MidiPipe.
MidiPipe (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10541) is a really cool little program. Basically, you see a column of tools on the left side of the window, and you drag the ones that you want to use to the right side of the window.
The tools that you drag to the right side can be listed in any order from top to bottom. MIDI data flow starts at the top and proceeds to the bottom, thus creating a "MIDI pipe."
I generally start a MIDI pipe with the MIDI In tool and conclude with the MIDI Out tool. Each of these tools (like all other tools) has customizable parameters. When you click on a tool in your pipe listing, you see the parameters of that tool in the bottom area of the window. It is pretty simple to choose from the available MIDI inputs and outputs when configuring the MIDI In and MIDI Out tools.
MidiPipe does include a Velocity Scaler tool.
Let me know if you need more help with this.
If any of you find MidiPipe to be useful, please send a contribution to its author. This is "donation ware."
