As usual, I didn't do anything serious with it.  I planned on writing
an that would quantize incoming midi notes to a specified key, but
never did.  Though I imagine such a thing must exist (maybe the pd
suggestion would be a better choice).

What type of signal did you run to it?  You could try a compressor in
front of it; I think that helped.  I can't remember if filtering
helped.  Maybe a bandpass tuned to your expected input, or a
combination of high- and lowpass?
