[PD] 14bit midi. nrpn and ctlin

No the abstraction is fine. Its ctlin thats the problem.. NRPNs are (as 
far as i understand) just four controller messages in a row. cc99 , 
cc98, specifying the parameter to affect and cc6 and cc38 specifying 
the value. looking at plumstone output (a java extension for OS X with 
a tester app that shows incoming midi) I see this is the case. e.g.

time		     ch cc data
9567000 [11:4 99 0]
9567000 [11:4 98 4]
9567000 [11:4 6 10]
9567000 [11:4 38 27]

so thats why i dont see why ctlin has a problem with them. If i send a 
cc99 message to ctlin it has no problem.

Is nrpn just not supported by ctlin on os x?
