Well, SuperCollider can hande midi on the language side (the server side of SC
doesn't even know what midi is)

Implementing a simple midi filtering function should be a three liner once one
has got a grip on SC.

(
        MIDIIn.connect; // init for one port midi interface
// register functions:
        MIDIIn.noteOff = { arg src, chan, num, vel; [chan,num,vel / 127].postln; };
        MIDIIn.noteOn = { arg src, chan, num, vel; [chan,num,vel / 127].postln; };
        MIDIIn.polytouch = { arg src, chan, num, vel; [chan,num,vel /
127].postln; };
        MIDIIn.control = { arg src, chan, num, val; [chan,num,val].postln; };
        MIDIIn.program = { arg src, chan, prog; [chan,prog].postln; };
        MIDIIn.touch = { arg src, chan, pressure; [chan,pressure].postln; };
        MIDIIn.bend = { arg src, chan, bend; [chan,bend - 8192].postln; };
        MIDIIn.sysex = { arg src, sysex; sysex.postln; };
        MIDIIn.sysrt = { arg src, chan, val; [chan,val].postln; };
        MIDIIn.smpte = { arg src, chan, val; [chan,val].postln; };
)

This code example for example opens a midi port and simply prints some midi
event informations.
