nope, but that can be used to your advantage.

when a device is selected as a REMOTE device it's on the same midi control path as the others. When one sends cc#1 on channel 1 and another sends cc#1 on channel 1, Live sees that as the same command.

Change the MIDI output channel on one of your controllers, and Live will see them separately.
