I think you mean CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER assignments (CC#'s) for the 
lfo's, correct?  The "channels" usage is confusing since midi channels 
are an entirely different thing.  I think you can understand the 
misinterpretation.

It would probably be in your best interests to send your specific 
feature requests to dave smith himself rather than to the list, 
especially when you're addressing him directly in your message. I could 
be wrong, but I don't believe he actively reads this list.  Please 
someone pipe in if this is not true.  I would definitely send one direct 
though.  I did back in the day asking for more CC's to be implemented, 
apparently many did because we have them now.

In the meantime, try using the assignable controllers for Mod Wheel, 
Breath Controller, Foot Controller, and Expression Controller.  CC's for 
those are 1, 2, 3, and 13. And I'm sure you're aware, but just in case, 
any free sequencer tracks you aren't using....

I have a feeling that all the available CC's that could be used, were 
used now. Ask Dave and find out. And if you do get a response from Dave 
about it, please let the list know what you heard.
