Is there any sort of MIDI hex viewer that will show me the contents of a file both in hex and with the corresponding MIDI info next to it, in real time?
Tracing some issues in a very large file, and I can look in my hex editor, but then need to take a lot of time mentally converting the hex in to what it's actually doing. It would be super handy if I could just look and go "Yup, that's where it went haywire".

Don't know if there IS one.
However, I use a prog of my own, and although I usually use a DOS version, I did do a WinDoze version, which has the extra virtue of coping with a much larger file, and it's also easier to find the file required via a WinDoze directory tree.
This shows the data in two parts of the display, one bype by byte, the right side as a block of ASCII data. Pretty much as such things usually look.
The source is FreeBasic.
The ASCII view could be changed, to show the data in the form you suggest, although there's not much space to play with. Single byte codes could be used for various midi commands, using colours would be possible. Maybe more space on the screen could be gained. If you've got a FreeBasic installed, then you can play with the code yourself. The code isn't anything fancy, it's just one of the FN example progs added to to do the job.
