sending separate MIDI channels to separate outputs

Hi everyone,
I have a MIDI guitar which outputs a different MIDI channel for each string, an awesome feature that I love. The best way to play it involves taking each string/channel and assigning a different instrument (basses for the two lowest strings, cellos for the middle strings, and violins for the two highest strings). This requires me to assign different instruments to different channels, and doing this for playing is no problem. However, when I record, my sequencer (Tracktion 3) encodes the entire six-channel MIDI stream as one channel, even though it sounds perfect during the recording. With MIDIyoke I can give Tracktion six separate inputs by patching my MIDI guitar through MIDIox and outputing from MIDIox into six outputs of MIDIyoke, ***but how do I make MIDIox send each of the six separate MIDI channels it receives to separate outputs?*** What I want is for channel 1 to go into MIDIyoke output 1, channel 2 to MIDIyoke output 2, etc, so that I can take MIDIyoke inputs 1-6 and record them on separate tracks in Tracktion, one MIDI channel per track. What I have now is all MIDI channels are passed to each of the MIDIyoke outputs 1-6, so I'm no better off using MIDIyoke than not using it. I think this should be pretty straightforward for MIDIox, I just don't know how to do it.
UPDATE: I solved it. The answer is to delete the channels you don't want to come through in the 'MIDI devices' screen, which finally dawned on me when I looked at the picture on this post: http://www.midiox.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Mapping;action=display; num=1245860277
Now I can see that the most logical place to put this is on the ports themselves, so the 'MIDI devices' screen is just where this function should be. MIDIox rocks!
