Need a MIDI Editor

Hi. I'm looking for a free or cheap MIDI editor. All I need it to do is tell me what is on each of the MIDI Channels. I'm importing MIDI files from the net onto my drum machine and I need to know which channel is the bass....every file I find seems to be different.
 
There is no such thing.

Midi files do not come with any type of stock description as far as ID'ing piano from organ or melody from drums.

My recommendation: play the file and try various categories (wind, strings, bass, etc) with each track in solo mode. It should be quite obvious with just a few minutes experimentation how the tracks break down.
 
Freeware JAZZ++ from www.jazzware.com does

Besides the midi instrument number, there are user comments for the channel

I use this program as my drum machine, and is more versatile, because it can be done with simply a PC keyboard and mouse

Soundblaster using 8 meg Soundfonts has 10 drum kits (GS) and 300+ instruments
