You could try out pd or jMax.

That may be true when working with a sequencer, but when programming 
MIDI processor you do have to face the deeper reality. This applies 
to Max or any other programming environment.

For example, I once made a small patch called "hocketizer" that would 
take a stream of MIDI notes and distribute them to several different 
MIDI channels to create hocketed parts on a multitimbral synthesizer. 
I had to keep track of what note on went to which channel, so that I 
could send the proper note off to that same channel. This wasn't 
difficult to do, but is also easy to overlook (Performer 1.2 had this 
problem - which I discovered when I got a lot of stuck notes on a 
TX816).
