I just did a simple test. You can set up your controllers (MidiA, 
MidiB, MidiC, etc.) in a single sysex chain and embed them in a pattern

See the sysex manual for the details of Parameter Edit/Request if you 
don't already know how to do that.

Here's the test string I used:

F0 18 0F 00 55 01 02 07 03 19 00 08 03 19 00 09 03 19 
00 0A 03 19 00 0B 03 19 00 F7 

Parameter 07 03 is MIDI_A_CONTROL.
I set that to 19 00 [controller 25 in decimal).
I also did the same for MIDI_B_CONTROL (08 03) --> MIDI_E_CONTROL (0B 
03).

Using SOnar I placed the sysex bank at measure 1 beat 1 and another 
sysex bank to change MidiA --> MidiE to Coontroller 16 (decimal) at 
measure 1 beat 3. I then saved the "song" as a *.mid file (format 0, I 
think), and loaded it into the P2500 with e-loader.

Since the CC 25 sysex was at tick 0, when I loaded the "song" and when 
I reset it by pressing stop twice, MidiA --> MidiE changed to CC 25. 
At beat 3, they changed to CC 16 and stayed there.

I didn't test it with note data, but my guess is that the sysex 
strings are so short, they will not cause a glitch during playback 
with note data.

I will upload the test sequence.  If you try it, save your multi first-
-or at leaste write down your controller settings so you can change it 
back.
