yeah, you got it :-) and in your case that's not really so much
of a limitation, since your MPC has two MIDI out ports.

no.  you just have to be listening to the channel corresponding
to whichever track you want to receive tweaks from. in your
case, if you want to tweak track 7, then you need to listen to
MIDI channel 2; if you're tweaking track 13 then you need to
listen to channel 4.

no problem. but I see in your other post that it's not working
right.  there's nothing special that you have to do to tell the
MD to send these CC's, so you can't be doing anything wrong
there.  it's weird that you're not even receiving the trigged
notes from the MD, though. so I'm guessing that it's an
MPC setting that's at fault....
