Sorry you got a RTFM...MIDI stuff is pretty complicated.  In any case,
my previous answer is the same: use "rechannelize always" and get used
to not having to change channels on your controller.

There really is no other easy way, since rechannelize *is* the easy
way.

PS. you have got the 2.0 addendum though, right?  or even better, the
new rev G manual?  There's MIDI signal flow diagrams in the back.

PPS. quick summary:  each track can play up to 16 channels at once, of
which you can choose Internal A, Internal B, External A, or External B.
 Yes, that's 64 logical channels (32 internal, 32 external).  You could
therefore use 4 tracks and completely fill up all 64 channels.  Of
course, you'd be a masochist to do so.  Most people leave the routing
track 1 to channel 1, etc.  If you want to target external gear, simply
switch the track to external.  If you run out of tracks, you can bounce
down to a "multi" track (i.e. one that targets up to 16 channels).
