If you are stuck, since you are on the PC, you can try MIDIOx and MIDIYoke
(free from midiox.com). They do the necessary MIDI data conversion and link
MIDI applications.

I've been doing something similar, using .oxm files in MIDIOx, as well as
VBScripts, to convert the NRPN's that the Peavey StudioMix generates to
normal CC and NoteOn/Off information for Csound. MIDIOx deals with SysEx as
well.

The site also has an active forum, in which the author is an active
participant.
