You could try the midilib2.0 package ( I think it is available by anon ftp
from ucsd.edu or abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov ).  It has a nice little set of utilities
which does include a midi-monitor program.  I believe that the midilib has a 
problem running at the same time a Music-X though ( at least with v1.1 you can
now properly suspend Music-X and use the serial port thus allowing you to use
the port for midi.library).  If you need an ed/librarian for the SY77, I would
wait until there is one available from Dr. T's.  I use the D110 and K5 ed/lib's
from them and can have Music-X, and both editors running at the same time 
(nice for changing patches on the fly etc., I can even run MusicMouse at the 
same time).  If you do go the commercial route, try to make sure that the 
ed/lib runs without having to suspend Music-X.  Hopefully there might be what
you need on the upcoming protocols disk from MicroIllusions.
