Hi,

AFAIU, you'd like to use midish as a normal sequencer, right?

If so, you've to create as many "outputs" as you've output MIDI
devices and/or channels (one per instrument).

Then you create one (multiple if necessary) tracks for each part and
record one by one the parts.

Example:

# configure devices; these could go in your ~/.midishrc
dnew 0 "IK_uno_port" wo
dnew 1 "Keystep_port" ro

inew myinput {0 0}	# create input you record from (keystep channel 0)

onew piano {1 0}	# create "output", IK Uno, channel 0
tnew piano_track	# create a track
r			# record
s			# stop

onew bass {1 1}		# create "output", IK Uno, channel 1
tnew bass_track		# create a track
r			# record
s			# stop

...

ct piano_track		# make piano_track current one 
r			# record some more piano
s			# stop


tnew piano_track_left	# create extra piano track 
r			# record again
s			# stop


p			# play the whole thing
save "mysong.msh"
