yeah that's been filtered but i dont think it has anying to do with

i could be wrong but as far as i know, there are no timestamp 
messages in Realtime messages. only status bytes. but there is a time

this is from the midi spec docs at:

I'm gnna go digging through midicom3 and see what i can find
