Mc.record selectively record into a buffer

Hi I'm trying to figure this out, I want to record to specific buffer in a multichannel record object without override the previously recorded buffer, is this possible or mc.record is Always recording simultaneously into all the multichannel buffers?

I tried to figure this out and ran into some problems.

1. Couldn't find a way to use mc.target -> mc.record. (should be able to target different channels with 0-1 message but nothing happens)
2. Using mc.target -> mc.gate -> mc.record can open and direct a single channel, but doesn't seem to want to let go of the previous targeted/gated channel - because downstream after the mc.gate mc.record is confused about -haha- the ambiguous messages it is receiving.

This was actual my main goal a few years ago. Ended up using one record~ and changing to different buffers.

Here is the only thread I could find about this:

Would like to hear from others about this.

Thank you, I was on the same path with mc target and had the same results, I'll look into your patch

Actually the patch I posted was showing that mc.target doesn't work with mc.record- hoping someone might illuminate that.

Here is basic way of recording different buffers using only one record~
