Yes, I need to transform pitchbend or sustain etc (I can choose) continuous
controller data into midi note data.
The program I've got spews out ctrl data and I want it to send midi note data
instead. There must be a linux program that can do that?

I
don't think that midi control data sends midi note on/note off

commands.
Dunno, maybe I'm wrong.
I suspect I do not know what "midi control data" is.

How do you expect control data to be mapped to note on/note off?
You can of course write your own program to do this.

Of course, but if you want to do something unconventional you can't
assume there will already be an app that can do it.

Indeed. There must be zillions of ways to do such a mapping, even if
it stateless - which is probably not what you want. You really can't
expect any app to do this unless you 'program' it yourself in a sense.

MIDI event mapping isn't a very strange thing at all, unless you can't
imagine any uses for it.

Or he can use Pd, as others point out.
To the original poster:
Pd can easily do what you want, but you should be aware that there is
some variety in the types of MIDI continuous controllers that you may
have to consider. Many controllers, such as mod wheel or volume control,
define the same range of values as note-on/off messages, i.e., 0 to 127.
In those cases the mapping is straightforward. However, pitch bend has a
range from -32768 to 32768 (IIRC), so the mapping is not linear. It is
also possible to append an extension message to controllers 0-31 that
raises their resolution from 128 steps to 16384. So you have something
to think about before assuming the map is 1 to 1.
My advice: Try Pd, it's a delight anyway, and you'll have advice and
encouragement from Frank Barknecht, a true Pd virtuoso.
We await the day that the Yamaha MEP4 appears as a standalone Linux
binary. ;)
Best,

I know that such programs exist for other OS´s, even as Freeware, but i
don´t know about such a beast for linux. I always wanted to write one,
but the ALSA documentation kept me from doing so.
