I treat ANY status message as capable of being running status.
one of the greatest savings of bandwidth is to be had from pitch/mod wheels,
I mean if you move your pitchweel from bottom to top, and you're using all
14 bits, you're looking at potentially 16000+ messages, each message being 6
bytes long (msb+lsb) thats a LOT of bandwidth!

I use the rule of thumb that ANY BYTE with the MSB set should be treated as
running status, EXCEPT those from 0xF8 to 0xFF
