While Frank is certainly correct, I'm still going to bitch about the 
fact that I'd have to use Pd for such a minor function. It's like 
driving my car across the street to get milk, it's too much tool for the 
job.

I guess at some unknown point in time I'll learn enough FLTK to slap 
together some kind of GUI for a standalone MIDI event mapper. Holborn's 
midirgui would be a good container for such functions, but he doesn't 
seem interested in expanding it.

Best,
