the sequencer of the mpc can trigger all your sound modules at the same time, but from your midi keyboard you will be only able to control the module on the active track.

maybe we can help you a little more if you explain what you are trying to do, because to me it makes no sense to control more than one module at one time except if you trying to layer sounds from different modules on one track.

to do this you have to set up your tracks before recording so the sounds and midi cannels are set already - then you can switch the active track on the mpc while recording and without stopping the sequencer. if you need both hands for your keyboard use a footswitch to switch tracks with "F3 or F4".
recording two different modules on different midi channels to one track is not possible, because the mpc can only send to one midi channel per track.
