After many people asking me for a solution to map notes in a different
order (MidiMapper), I have developed an application over the last two
years that should bring help for most of the mapping problems people
in the MMD might have.  In a nutshell, what it does is

-- mapping notes different for each of the 16 MIDI channels so that
any organ or piano-roll converted to MIDI file can be played with the
correct notes on a sound-module;

-- give you limited ways to make register notes send patches (Program
Changes) so that the sound in the sound module changes according the
rank of pipes that is playing;

-- allow you to shift notes forward in time (up to 1 second) to allow
for time-compensation.  This is handy to offset drum notes or if you
want a sound module to play in perfect time with a real instrument that
suffers from time delays, like the Yamaha Disklavier, etc.;

-- send the incoming MIDI back out over maximum 4 output devices.

It is designed for and tested on Win98/Millennium/XP and it seems to
work without any problems.  Win95 should also work, but I don't have
a PC to test this.

If the interest for this MidiMapper is big enough, the idea is to
update the mapper so that you can basically re-create the sound of any
existing mechanical instrument within this mapper.  This would allow
people to hear the MIDI files on the PC as a realistic representation
of the real instrument.

The free evaluation version allows you to test all functions, but it
shuts down after 15 minutes after which you can re-open it unlimited
times.  The full version costs 50 euro or 50 US$.  As this money is
intended to cover made expenses and part of the large amount of
invested time, and not really for profit, I will see how far this money
will allow me to give free updates in the future.

But the MidiMapper is fairly complete as it is.  The only major update
will be that the MidiMapper will create ghost-parts to allow for
multiple ranks of pipes playing together in the sound module.

All needed explanation to make it work is available in the
"Installation.txt".
