Device to map incoming midi notes on different channels to other notes on other channels

Hi guys, do you know if there is an m4l device out there that lets you map incoming midi notes on different channels to other midi notes on other channels?
The use case is an APC40 sending for example C3 channel 1, C3 channel 2, C3 channel 3 mapped respectively to C3, D3, E3 on channel 4.

Do you mean "midi channels", or channels as "tracks".
Because if you mean midi channels, then you won't get to it with M4L as everything's collapsed to a single midi channel.

I mean midi channels. Yeah I have just found that Live collapse everything on channel 1 unfortunately. Any workaround?

Workaround is to use one midi track per channel and merge them into another track.
Or make a Control Surface script in Python or m4l.
