No an MPC does not actually separate the sounds for you. Most MPC's just have a low pass filter. What that does is it cuts out all the higher frequencies just leaving you with bass.
You can also cut or chop the sample yourself with the MPC in the trim sample page. Generally chopping sounds is better done with a wave editing program like cool edit, audition, reason, recycle, etc.
As far as the 8 outs go what happens on the MPC is that once you got your sounds the way you want them your going to want to play them. You load them and assign those sounds to a pad. You can further assign that pad to one of the 8 outs and that is connected to a multitrack mixer. So basically you can assign up to 8 different pads, each pad going to it's own out so that when your multi-tracking you have more control over the sound of each individual pad.
There's also a trick to get 10 outs. The MPC has two main stereo outs just like anyother piece of stereo equip. You take a 9th pad and pan it all the way to the left channel and a 10th pad and pan it all the way to the right channel. This is good if the sample you are working is in mono or has no stereo effects...well those stereo effects could be added later but that's another topic!
