Hardware midi processor/converter

I'm wondering if there are any hardware midi processors/converters around anymore.
I believe Philip Rees made things like that in the past but I haven't got a clue if anyone is making stuff like this anymore.

I'd like to do these conversions:
1. modulation wheel (midi cc: 1) to channel pressure
2. some other cc to pitch bend (with low resolution I know)
3. Filter out note on/off on a specific channel

But I don't want to carry a whole computer for this task.

I don't have time to check out the specifics, but maybe this would do the trick:

I looked at this before, it is a pretty neat device.

There is an expanded one as well http://www.midisolutions.com/prodepp.htm which has a bit more ram.

Great, just what I was looking for.

I believe it's gonna work fine to program even though I have a Mac. Since programming the interface can be done off-line, I can use any PC.

in the 80's I used to have a Yamaha MEP4 (it had 4 midi event processors). Only programmable in Hex Exclamation

Geeky stuff Cool

I don't know if you can still find one.

I was going to mention earlier that the DMC MX-8 would probably do some of what you are looking for too. Like the MEP-4 it's a 1U rack device.

Good work "davebr" and nice tools! What software did you use for the schematic & pcb?
