there a ton of stuff out there to use to make and manipulate midi data.

if you're a programmer, there are libraries for many languages.

you can also use synthesis packages like csound, pd, chuck [i think
all support midi]

you can just plug it into a computer and see what the midi support is like.

you can use 'sound fonts' to change the patch numbers.

i'd suggest you spend some time learning about midi generally, then go
from there. this is only one of many possible starting places:
