Not sure what you mean by that.

Trouble is you really don't get very far beyond the most basic setup
before you do need different maps on different channels.  Even a GM
or GM2 synth technically has a different map on channel 10, and
presumably with a hardware synth (and possibly non-SoundFont on-card
synths) you can't necessarily just get that through bank selects.
And anyone with two hardware synths on a single cable needs to worry
about channels.

But no, I don't think anyone should have to look at any of this
unless it's actually going to be useful to them.
