I first got MIDI OX because it let me monitor the MIDI stream to see what was happening. This needed MIDI Yoke, too, and MIDI Yoke makes for some interesting applications.
MIDI OX is a MIDI utility for monitoring and applying real-time changes to MIDI events. Like any other MIDI application on Windows, it reads MIDI events from a MIDI In device and writes MIDI events to a MIDI Out device. And the routing from In to Out is flexibly adjustable, too.
The changes made to a MIDI message are based on the incoming message. You can, for example, rescale the velocity of Note On events. Or you could change MIDI NRPN sequences into MIDI Channel Aftertouch events. Or you could change Polyphonic Aftertouch events into Note events. Or you could change all notes below middle C to Channel 4 and all notes middle C and above to Channel 11. And so on.
You can also change what MIDI OX is doing in real time using MIDI Program Change to select a different set of mapping rules.
The second use I put MIDI OX to was simple MIDI merging. Using MIDI Yoke, again, I can take input from multiple hardware MIDI ports and merge them onto a single MIDI Yoke virtual out, which can then be used (as an input) in other MIDI applications.
It's not called the swiss army knife of MIDI utilities for nothing
