Splitting/assigning MIDI Channels while recording. Even possible?

Hey guys, I'm using Logic 9.1.3. I've only been using Logic for a few days, but have already learned quite a bit, and am loving it!

i have a midi controller, the Axiom 25, which I mainly use for creating drum beats. What I want to be able to do is to split and assign each drum sound to a MIDI channel in realtime while recording. I've discovered out to split up a MIDI region by pitch, which is almost what I want to do, but I want to be able to do this in realtime, not after the fact.

For example, if I wanted kick, snare, and hi hat, I would have three instrument tracks, one for each drum. I want to be able to play all three at the same time, but have the tracks only receive the data for the corresponding drum.

Is this making sense? Is this even possible??

Thanks!

Sure,
Follow my instructions below:

*The Autodemix by Note Pitch Tip*

1. Create a new Mapped Instrument in the Click & Ports Environment layer, set its port to "No Port" and cable it between the Physical Input the the Sequencer Input.
2. Double click the Mapped Instrument to open it and assign a unique midi channel ( in the Channel Column ) for each note (pad) you want to channelize.
Let's say - "Kick" to base = ch.1, SN D1> ch2., HH >ch3. etc.
3. Set each Software Instrument to midi channel 1, 2, 3 etc according what you want to trigger.
4. Go to Logic Settings > Recording > and enable "Autodemix by midi channel if multitrack recording" which will put Logic into Multiplayer mode so it can channelize the incoming midi data. Shift arm the tracks and play or record.
After the recording the midi notes will be autodemixed by note pitch.
