plenty of programs to record midi data (pro tools
http://www.digidesign.com, digital performer http://www.motu.com...) and
Unisyn is a librarian for digital performer: but as for interfacing with
csound... try contacting the manufacturers -and reposting here in a couple
of weeks (the gurus must be on vacation). don't work with midi features at
all myself. in the meantime maybe one of these non-answers will interest
you:

SoundFisher

reviewed in electronic musician june 1999
Mac/Win $995
soundfile database
features a "sounds-like" search function that can compare waveform
characteristics and find audio files on your network that sound similar to
any file you specify.
handles wav, aiff, sd2, auf files.
create thumb-nails to audition files stored off drive.
three browsers: hierarchical, showing folders and subfolders; a list
browser, sortable by any field; and an unusual multidimensional feature
browser, in which you can ssign various audio attributes (such as average
pitch or amplitude) to the axes of a grid and see which files are mapped
closest together.
batch processing for converting file formats, & adjusting file sample rates.

Never tried it, so don't know what can be expected of the sounds-like
function when faced with wild and wooley csounds.

alternately, and closer to the mark, you could create your csound midi
data, in cecilia and save "snapshots" of a graph
http://www.musique.umontreal.ca/electro/CEC/ or is it
http://www.musique.umontreal.ca/CEC/. runs on several platforms. not yet
windows. for other csound interfacing programs...

Don't know which platform you are using, but have you seen the Windows
util. called MIDI-OX?  I think it does what you need.
