This makes sense in connection with my previous explanation: When in quick edit mode, the CCs get recorded as track events and on playback they only affect the instance of the preset on the channel where the CCs were recorded.

So, the question is, if we use Quick Edit Mode to change a preset which is on multiple channels, are we hearing something different from what gets recorded (because we are actually editing the preset itself)? 

I just did a quick test with arps on 3 channels and if my hearing is accurate, I'd say yes.

To confirm this I recorded just CCs on track 4. (I was using filter cutoff. Channel 1 was high on beats 1 and 2 then went low for beats 3 and 4. Channel 2 was the reverse--high on beats 3 and 4 and then went low for beats 1 and 2. Channel 3 was random.)

So, while using the knobs in quick edit mode when recording CCs on Track 4, I heard the filter change on all notes on all 3 channels (in addition to the recorded CCs). However, after the 8 measure loop started repeating and I was no longer editing the preset (by using the quick edit knobs), the filtering occured based solely on the channel-level CCs recorded in each track.

Obviously, there's more than meets the ear here, what with the various sequencer recording parameters (rechannelize, etc.), but I hope this helps make sense of what's going on.
