If I understand you correctly, you're saying that:
- you're using the MD to control MIDI CC #'s on your MS2000
- you use the MD to set a particular parameter's value to 60
- you then try to change it *on* the MS2000 to something other than 60
- the next time the MD triggers the MS2000, it sets the value back to 
  60

right?

I think that would be great if once you changed it on the MS2000, it
wasn't changed anymore from the MD.  but that would require a
bipartite MIDI relationship between the two and thus probably won't
happen.

but you're saying that it should only send CC's *sometimes* right?
isn't that what parameter locks are for? i.e. when you want the
parameter's value sent, set it up in a parameter lock to be sent;
otherwise, don't have anything assigned to that controller at all (so
the MD won't send the controller's value when it triggers the MS2000).
