I have open the file with midi list in cubase, and there you can see 
all the midi events and edit them. I think you can also see the time, 
but I have to check, now I'm at work :)

I'll try

togheter with the .mid files there is txt that explains how to use 
the files. it simply says: load the midi file in your sequencer and 
play it. nothing more
