it will be the same situation. except you'll have a few more (is it 8 
or 10 with that
controller?) of them. you'd have to have a controller with 8*7*6 = 336 
knobs to control the
MnM without pressing buttons, since there are 8 parameters per pages, 7 
pages
per track and 6 tracks.

no. you have to keep them depressed in order to use the coarse 
adjustment.  but when
you let up, the value stays where you left it; it doesn't jump anywhere.

each parameter has its own controller. but since there are so many of 
them, I believe
they are mapped to NRPN number rather than CC. and each track occupies 
its
own MIDI channel.
