Hmm, ever played with RM1X or RS7000?
They offer a lot of realtime tweaking on the midi side.
Some examples:
- Realtime step/grid edit
- 6 knobs to alter midi params (realtime fx): Velocity, gate, swing, 
midi delay, time shift, timeline mutliplier/divider.
- Realtime loop remix to rearrange note order.
- Realtime groove edit.
It also has:
- Independed phrase lenghts per track.(track=midi channel)
- Independed Swing/ groove settings per track.
- use sections within a pattern wich can be instant switched from 
1/16th to one measure. (so you don't have to wait till the phrase 
ends)
- Scene memories wich can make snapshots of all settings so you can 
make dramatic changes with one single button.
You really have to know these before you can make a good judgement.
