InTime by Circular Logic is a Midi utility. With this software, musicians play freely, and the computer follows their tempo changes in real-time, allowing natural expression in computer-assisted live performance, composition and recording. Musicians are free to improvise because InTime does not need to know in advance what the user intends to play.

Now inTime 1.0 is OS X compatible and available from the MM Softs section.
