Is there a software which can see the xl7 song files with all the data inside, well the pattern order.. and other events??? Thanks

Just for the fun of it, I took a look at a *.mid file of a song with 
nothing more than a couple of patterns strung together. Other than the 
headers/timing/sysex/etc. stuff, it looks like the patterns and mutes 
are text characters. (I downloaded a song using e-loader and looked at 
it with Microsoft's built-in debug program.)

I didn't go further with dissecting the song file, but I suppose if 
someone wanted to write a utility to chain patterns and set mutes they 
could do it and then add additional functionality to it. (It sur would 
be nice to be able to do this via usb.)

Out of curiosity, what kinds of song file data do you want to edit 
extrnally?
