Trouble recording multiple midi tracks at once

I have always been a "one man band" so to speak recording things one at a time.  Tonight - for the first time - I had our drummer and keyboardist over here to record at the same time and couldn't get it to work.  I loaded Toontrack Superior Drummer and my electronic drum kit triggered that great.  I loaded Z3ta and the keyboard triggered that great.  The problem was the first go around, the keyboard triggered both Z3ta AND Superior Drummer and the drum kit triggered both the drums and Z3ta.  I'm using a M-Audio MidiSport 2X2 so I can have two MIDI devices running simultaneously. I had the keyboard in "MidiSport In A" and the Drums in "MidiSport In B" set to Omni channel.  If I switched them both to channel 1, It fixed the problem of triggering both sounds, but I couldn't record both at the same time.  Sonar would only show one or the other as having input.  If I had the drum track selected, I would hear that and see it recording.  If I had the keyboard track selected, I would hear that and see it recording but wouldn't hear drums anymore.  Very frustrating.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

+1 on the above advice.
 
I think it was Roland that started the whole drums on midi channel 10 thing - but that was eons ago, and I may have some faulty memories.
 
Anyways, each input midi device should be set to transmit on a different channel, as noted in the earlier reply.  If you are using the external devices to trigger sounds within Sonar, such as soft-synths, then set each midi channel for each soft-synth instrument to the appropriate channel that matches the external device.
 
You may need to turn echo input on for each track you want to monitor while recording.
 
Hope that helps,

You can click on the input echo on button for all tracks you want to monitor.
