For those interested in having their MIDI output be a lot more flexible, check out

http://www.subtlesoft.square7.net/MidiPipe.html

Also has a MIDI guitar preset

I've found it very helpful and easy to use for routing MIDI around my computer from the VG-99 (i.e merging channels 1-3 into Channel 1, and 4-6 into Channel 2 to achieve a keyboard esque split of the neck)

Hope it's useful!

MidiPipe V1.4.6

About
MidiPipe is freeware and comes with no warranties. MidiPipe can be useful in a music studio or live on stage to route, map, filter, convert, display, input and output MIDI messages in real-time. Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) or higher is required.


Use
Click on a tool in the "Tools" list (left side) to see it's parameters. "Drag&Drop" or "Double Click" a tool in the "Tools" list in order to put it in the pipe (right side). Tools in the pipe can be reordered via "Drag&Drop". MIDI messages "flow" from top to bottom through the pipe. A pipe can have several inputs and outputs. A message arriving at an output will be copied to the output and then continues "flowing" through the pipe (if there are additional tools after the output). In order to edit parameters of several tools at once, it is possible to open a panel for each tool by double clicking it in the pipe list.

There is an application in the PC world called MIDI-OX. If used in conjunction with MIDI Yoke you can get similar features. I use them to filter and route the USB MIDI output of the 99.

I hope this helps.

Thanks JV.

I knew about Midi-OX as I used it with TDMate to edit my Vdrums.
I'd heard about Midi Yoke too, it's just Midi Pipe looked very neat - all in one type of thing  ;D
