How To Route Separate Midi Tracks??

Hi there, I use Sonar Producer X3, I want to know how I can route to separate midi tracks.. for example, I use a VSTi plugin named Poise, it's an MPC-styled plugin with 16 drum pads.. now I want to know how I can separate those drum pads into 16 separate midi tracks & then trigger & also edit/mix them individually?
 
I'M DESPERATE!

I would like to understand your goal for splitting all of these into separate midi tracks, as it would be an editing NIGHTMARE, in my opinion, so please elaborate.  :)
 
If, for instance, you wanted to change some rhythm (who thought of that spelling, by the way), you would have to go into each midi track and delete/insert only the events for that one kit piece, and go to the next track to do the same, which I think would be a giant pain in the rear.
 
What many folks do is have a single midi track for all the drum data, with each kit piece having its audio output from the drum synth sent to its own audio track.  This method gives complete audio control over each kit piece (volumes, effects, panning), while making editing midi data for the whole drum kit much easier.
 
Using the above method, you can still work on one particular midi note's events, using the Event Filter, so you could still operate on just that one kit piece's data, if you wish, but you get all the ease and flexibility of having it all together.
 
Having all the events together in a single midi track is still not cluttered, as you won't have more than 4 events occurring at the same time, at most, as a drummer only has 4 limbs - and even there the events are in more of a staggered appearance.

well, I wont use ALL the channels.. but if I have a kick & a snare occupying two drum pads on the VSTi (obviously triggered by certain keys on my midi keyboard), i'd like to separate those two after they're recorded onto one track.. After separating them, i'll then mix them separately.. but after recording, I just cant seem to separate the kick & snare, which I can easily do in a program like PreSonus Studio One..

You're missing the point.
You don't need ANY midi tracks splitting out in order to mix them separately, you need separate AUDIO out, as already explained by Bob.
 
Keep you midi all one one track
 
But also follow scooks advice to get 16 audio outs all present & correct in Sonar

OK did you do the part scook mention above?
 
"To get separate audio outputs from Poise, rename the dll. For all 16 ouputs create a 'Poise 16 Out.dll'. This is covered in the Poise manual on page #4 under the heading 'Using Fixed Output Configurations of Poise". When inserting the renamed dll in a project select the 'MIDI Source' and 'All Synth Audio Outputs: Stereo' to show all the audio outputs associated with the synth."
 
If you have done the above, Sonar should now have inserted the newly created 'Poise 16 out.dll' drum synth into the synth rack, and because you also selected the MIDI Source and All Synth Audio Outputs: Stereo options during the insert, Sonar should also have inserted a single midi track and a whole bunch of stereo audio tracks (16) routed to Poise 16 out.
 
If all of the above is as it should be, all that is left is for you to change each of the drum 'cells' in Poise to use its own audio output channels, so kick would go to perhaps audio output channels 1/2, snare would go to perhaps audio output channels 3/4, etc.
 
The whole idea is to route each drum kit piece to a separate pair of audio output channels in Poise 16 out, then have separate stereo audio tracks in Sonar routed to each of those audio output channels from Poise 16 out, and the midi track in Sonar would point its output to Poise 16 out.
 
Does the above make sense?
 
So, I can adjust gain and fader and effects and whatever for each individual stereo audio track in Sonar, for each drum kit piece's output coming from the Poise 16 out in the synth rack.
