Subject:mapping CC's for B4

I'm hoping someone can help me out with my setup. I'm trying out the
B4 program and I'm attempting to use two controllers to drive the B4,
one programmable, one not. The programmable controller is the Edirol
PCR-50, and the other one is a Nord Electro going into the MIDI IN of
the Edirol. I've got the Edirol keyboard sending notes for the lower
manual (ch 2) and controlling everything else with it's
sliders/knobs/buttons, and the Electro controlling the upper manual
(ch 1).

My problem is that all the buttons and knobs on the Electro are also
sending CC's to the B4, which I don't want. From what I can tell, the
MIDI settings of the B4 that allow you to filter out control changes
affect all the channels and in-ports; you can't selectively filter
only certain channels or in-ports, which would have been a solution.

Is there something in the B4 program that I'm overlooking? If not,
would a software program like MIDI-OX or Bome's Midi Translator allow
me to remap the CC's of the Electro (which would be the Edirol MIDI IN
in-port on the PC) to something benign or something desirable before
they go to the B4? I tried playing a bit with MIDI-OX but couldn't
figure out if it can be used to change the CC's going to the B4 from a
particular in-port or MIDI channel. I'm using the SoundBlaster Audigy
card and I do always see "SB Audigy MIDI Port" as a selectable in-port
and out-port but wasn't sure if I had to use this somehow to do a CC
mapping and then use the SB MIDI Port as the in-port for the B4.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
