MIDI Log - MIDI Instruction Validation

Question

I have noticed from my log some invalid MIDI bytes '32 00 00 08 20 00' they are on their own without a valid Instruction (Top bit set). Should the MIDI log not show this as an error, or is it working as intended.

Thanks for your question. Let's call this "uncontemplated behavior." The MIDI log has been useful for many users, but it doesn't enforce the MIDI spec. Apple's CoreMIDI should be doing that for us, but anyway...

Sorry, I didn't realize this was not a MDP issue, I have no real knowledge of the applictions development structure and therefore did not know.
