[LAU] midi control of seq24

hi friends!

I've got an edirol pcr keyboard that I would like to use to control
seq24. the readme file that comes with the application explains that
you can use midi to toggle patterns:

* [midi-control]

        For each sequence, we can set up midi events to turn a
        sequence on, off, or toggle it. We see the following
        lines in the [midi-control] section:

        0 [0 0 0 0 0 0] [0 0 0 0 0 0] [0 0 0 0 0 0]
        1 [0 0 0 0 0 0] [0 0 0 0 0 0] [0 0 0 0 0 0]
        2 [0 0 0 0 0 0] [0 0 0 0 0 0] [0 0 0 0 0 0]
        ...

I have no idea what this means. here are my (somewhat random) questions:

1. is there an app that I can view what midi messages my keyboard is sending?
2. what does that snippet mean? what do I need to be doing with my keyboard?
3. nowhere does the file mention play start/stop. can anyone
confirm/deny that start/stop functionality exists?

thanks everyone!
