Huh?  Now I'm confused.

Okay, here's a summary:

1 - You can only record one TRACK at a time
2 - Tracks may hold one or 16 channels
3 - You can record any channel into a track
4 - What comes OUT of a track may not be the same as what you put in
    * this is because if rechannelize is off, you may be putting
      events into the track that do not correspond to its output
5 - Rechannelize on/off ONLY affects INPUT, not track output
6 - You cannot specify the track to record via an external channel
7 - With rechannelize off, MIDI input will ALWAYS play internal

with rechannelize ON:
MIDI --> Track --> [track destination/channel] --> synth and/or output

with rechannelize OFF:
MIDI ---> Track
      \-> Synth

Really, read the diagrams.  They are not misleading.  I drew the
diagrams and wrote the code and the QA guys used it in their testing. 
They may be unclear and/or hard to understand, but they are correct.

The only reason you should have rechannelize OFF is if you are
sequencing the box with an external sequencer or if you are using it as
a multitimbral synth with a controller keyboard transmitting multiple
channels.
