Multiple midi controllers issue

[Cymatic Kicks]

Hey all, I have searched for this extensively and haven't found what I'm looking for.

I have an axiom 49 controlling Sylenth in Ableton. It works fine, but I have an issue when I use my FCB1010 to start/stop looping.

I use quickeys to customize some of the FCB's functionality. Right now, on channel 13, when I hit CC5, it is the same as hitting the enter button. This enables me to start recording a clip in Ableton by using the foot controller if the clip is highlighted. I press the same button to stop recording and start looping.

When this happens, the portamento goes haywire inside sylenth, and it is not even close to what I'm trying to do. Now I know that CC5 will adjust the portamento inside sylenth. This is no surprise that the foot controller needed with the portamento, but here's my question (because I've seen conflicting things when trying it myself):

If the track where sylenth resides is set to a midi channel othe than the channel that the FCB1010 sends messages on, will that make it so that only the channel that Ableton is set to will control sylenths native midi mapping, like portamento, pitch shift, etc...?
