I assumed that the two TRS MIDI out jacks are A and B.
Ah yes, that makes sense. It's a shame there isn't an MPE equivalent for this.
So different surface elements could be sent to different instrument tracks in the DAW. Not a very common use case I guess.
The MIDI jacks are IMHO meant to control hardware devices.
But of course if you USB MIDI in MPE mode with a software synth you can use them with a MIDI interface as additional ports on the PC/Mac.
I don't understand what you mean with "MPE equivalent". MPE is only an additional level on top of MIDI.
BTW, it is possibly to address two MPE synths with one MIDI port. In this case you have to split up the 16 channels. It is also possible to allocate only some of the 16 channels to MPE and use the remaing for normal MIDI.

I have experimented with these settings but can't figure out what they do, and there is nothing in the manual on it. I was hoping it would allow the Erae to have two different ports that appear as distinct devices in a DAW.
This would essentially allow for two separate MPE devices, or four if you give each device a different MPE Master channel and routing the midi accordingly (with some Max code for example)
