Michael, even if you're not into Python, I just want to show you and
others interested in it, how easy it is to write a little script with
python-rtmidi and pyliblo [1] that reacts to incoming MIDI data and
sends out an OSC message whenever it receives a Note On message:

This can be easily adpated and extended to your needs. The advantage
over the solutions mentioned by Robin is that python-rtmidi works on
Linux, OS X and Windows and with ALSA, JACK, CoreMIDI and Windows MM.
[2] A disadvantage is that Python is garbage-collected, so it is not
suited for absolutely timing critical applications. But this only
applies if you're concerned about jitter in the microsecond range (which
is a bit pointless with the speed of MIDI).

[2] Not sure whether pyliblo works on OS X or Win, but other pure-python
OSC libraries exist.
