This problem seemed at first glance an easy one to diagnose. However, 
since I haven't done much with E-Mu sequencer recording, it took a 
while. Since I don't have an electribe, I used Sonar to send data on 
16 channels to my E-Mu sequencer [P2500]. 

I hope this helps:

Relevant MIDI settings:
---BASE TEMPO: ext
---RECHANNELIZE INPUT: off 
---EXTERNAL SONG START/STOP: accepted
---MIDI IN CHANNELS: 1 to 16: A
---MIDI ENABLE channel 16A: off
---RECEIVE PROGRAM CHANGE channel 16A: off

PATTERN EDIT settings [I used T01]:
---CHANNEL ASSIGN Channel: MultiA Dest: Int

NOTE:
ALL Notes were recorded, including those on channel 16, but on 
recording and playback, the channel 16 data was not sent to the 
internal synth engine. 

If you don't mind having the channel 16 data recorded as long as it 
doesn't play your E-Mu, the solution above should work for you.

If this doesn't meet your specific needs, I'd recommend getting some 
kind of programmable filtering device. For  example, I have see MOTU 
8x8 midi routers [Express XT] (among others) on e-bay. The parallel 
port version used to go for around $70-$85. The usb port version is 
more expensive. With either you have 8 user slots to configure 
different routings using computer software.
