You cant move two parameters in totaly different movement patterns at the same time 
with one controller, the way you can with seperate controllers on each hand. thats all.
The difference is that seperate controllers can have totaly seperate moves, thus when the 
joystick master controlls their movent in one move, logicaly because it is...well only one! It 
then makes no difference wether or not they are given seperate movement space, it forces 
them to take the same moves, regardless, though of cource they will react less or more as 
you have selected the space they are given to move within. If you assigne one controller to 
only leftside, and another to only right side of the joystick, you can not modulate bouth 
continuasly at once. 

if it is difficult to understand, then im sorry for my bad english!
