If you continue to have MIDI issues, give me a yell and I'll give you my Da's number. He Knows Things.
(and has also made himself an in-house recording studio and likes nothing better than mucking around with things like MIDI, especially if it also includes hanging out with like-minded people. Besides which, he has a soundbeam - soundbeams are simple but cool!!!)

Er....what was I--?
Oh yeah, seriously though, if you can't sort it out, you can give him a bell.
