Mmm.. So, If i get you right, you want to control several machines at the same time using a single MIDI hardware, right?
That is not possible right now in the sense that the mappings in the MIDI controllers settings page only change the command or the range. They don't change the machine that receives it.
(I'll take a look at these options, since I haven't tested it in some time and might have become broken recently due to the changes in MIDI in version 1.10).
These are the options that Psycle support as of now:
1) Output everything to the selected machine (Either selected with the mouse with click, ctrl+click, or with the machines' dropdown box).
This is configured in MIDI Controllers, changing the Generator/Instrument to "Currently selected in Psycle".
This is the simplest mode where the MIDI hardware becomes a simple "keyboard" that inputs notes or commands directly to what has the focus.
2) Output everything to the machine indicated by the MIDI channel.
This one is pretty basic, and has the downside that you cannot send anything to effects, since effects start at 64 (40 in hex).
This is configured in MIDI controllers, changing the Generator/Instrument to "Selected by MIDI channel index".
3) Output everything to the machine indicated by the Program or Bank sent with a MIDI message for this MIDI channel.
This one allows to setup a different index for each of the 16 supported MIDI channels, so you could control up to 16 different machines, if you send the messages to the appropiate MIDI channel.
This is configured in MIDI controllers, changing the Generator/Instrument to "Selected by program change"/"Selected by bank change".
You then, for example, set the hardware to midi channel 1 and send a program change to 2. This means that everything that comes from the midi channel 1 will be redirected to Psycle machine 2 (In fact, to machine 01, since Machines start at index 0 and programs and banks start at index 1).
All these modes can be used either with immediate mode or with sequenced mode (Input/Output settings tab), but probably they are easy to configure in immediate mode.
You can see the mapped machines in the Monitor->MIDI Monitor window.
Recently, an internal machine (Note Duplicator 2) was added to do keyboard splitting with it, but that doesn't help your problem with redirecting CC messages.
I have had in mind for some time a completely new MIDI controllers page, with keyboard splitting and CC remapping, but I haven't got to implement it yet.
