Multiple ports in MIDI controller mapping

Hi,

I think this can't be done, but let's ask just in case. In my Edit I'm trying to use "Automation > Create MIDI controller mappings...". My problem is that I have CC coming from different (virtual) MIDI ports, but the mappings I create here respond to *all* ports. So, I'd like for example, to map CC3 coming from Port1 to a parameter of one track, but CC3 coming from Port2 to a parameter of a different track. Is that possible?

I suspect my only option is to create a Control Surface for each MIDI port, but the mappings within a Control Surface are messier to set up (I have to reference tracks by number, and that seems very error-prone, and a maintenance nightmare). Any thoughts?

Thanks!

(using Waveform 8 )

In case it helps, here's the XML code (from my edit source) reflecting three assignments, made from three different ports, all on CC3, channel 1.

<CONTROLLERMAPPINGS>
<MAP id="65543" channel="1" param="Bass >> Volume & Pan Plugin >> Volume"
filterid="0/b0ca0e"/>
<MAP id="65543" channel="1" param="Kb >> Volume & Pan Plugin >> Volume"
filterid="0/1001591"/>
<MAP id="65543" channel="1" param="MonoLead >> Volume & Pan Plugin >> Volume"
filterid="0/19ce16b"/>
</CONTROLLERMAPPINGS>

So the id is the same, but filterid is not. No idea what that is. But I don't think information about the MIDI port is here.
