Maybe I made my issue sound more complicated than it was.  All I was 
talking about was hitting record in cubase as I spun the knobs, and 
just trying to track down the data in an "any channels" midi track.  
I managed to resolve it, fortunately.  I found a file in the files 
section of the yahoo page for this group, and it makes clear exactly 
how everything gets mapped out.  In Cubase (at least), if you send 
multiple performances with the same controller number, but different 
channel numbers, (for instance, FLTF on both 8CB and 16M4), it will 
overlap them in a way that looks like the two pieces of data are 
interfering with each other, but they're not.  You can, as far as I 
can tell, only edit the most recent channel you've recorded with, but 
if you dissolve the tracks, the controller data will be separated out 
in un-changed entirity to a separate midi track.  

Just thought I would be thorough with this answer , just in case 
anybody came up against the same issue in the future (the issue 
of "any channels" type tracks in Cubase is really poorly documented 
in the user manual), since it seems like this is something that would 
come up quite often in the average MD-user's life, if they use Cubase.
