  Allright, I've kinda figrued it out.  I have to set up 4 diferent tracks corresponding 
tot eh 4 diferent midi channels to record tweaks.  But I don't understand why this isn't 
the same for drums.  I can record all 16 drums  on 1 MPC track, which corresponds to 
1 MIDI channel, but I thought that each drum was on different MD track, and thus 
each set of four MD tracks/drum sets would correspond to one of the four MIDI 
channels?   

Honestly, it's not so bad splitting the CC's into 4 tracks.  It actually helps make it a bit 
easier to organize.

Thanks Joe for the time and the help!!!  Much Respect!!!!
