hasn't happened and probably won't ever happen.
these are from the JJ OS faq:

About Multi timbral
Although the addition was tried to OS2XL, since the difficult thing became clear, it was stopped.


Q:
Do You ever intend to implement multi-timbrality mode on MIDI IN?
Is the functional addition of the MIDI implementation of the internal parameter by "MIDI CC" possible?

A:
The addition of this function was tried.
However, many change was required, and since it became clear that OS had to be remade fundamentally, JJ said that an addition was difficult.
For making this OS, JJ said that two years of time would be required.
Therefore, though regrettable, the MIDI implementation of the internal parameter by "MIDI CC" is actually difficult.

smh, thanks for the reply. I guess this also means Akai has no plans for this either?
FREGGIN FRACK.....! LOL. Oh well, guess I'll stick to sequencing my drums and samples in the mpc then tracking the audio out to SX3
