Many thanks for that reply re MIDImod2.  I'm not a programmer so I'll
forgo your kind offer of the source code. 
 
I had another reply to my post suggesting that I may be able to solve
the "track assignment" aspect of this problem simply by adjusting the
MIDI receive channel on the DKV.  I'll give that a try first.  If that
doesn't work, I may then try MIDImod2 under the "Virtual PC" emulator I
have on my Mac.  (My Mac is the  pre-Intel chip version of the G5.)
 
Regards.
 
Mike M.

Greetings mcubed33,

you can find a sequencer program and do the work yourself but it is not
going to be that easy especially changing MIDI velocity.

i wrote a program called MIDImod2 that probably does what you want but
it is a windows program. it is written in perl and if you are a
programmer you could probably adapt it to work on the mac. if there were
a lot of interest i would consider it but it might be a big job because
it is a graphical program and there might be some platform specific
stuff in it.

if you have a new mac with Leopard you can run windows. 

you can find the program on the following page of my web site:
www.spencerserolls.com/files4download

if you know how to run a perl script including acquiring the required
modules and you can handle any Mac specific needs, i can send you the
source code. i would like to have a Mac version of this (and other)
programs but don't have the time to learn all the Mac specific stuff
necessary to do this.
