Yes, it is indeed true. A chord may look like three notes start simultaneously, it may sound that they start simultaneously, but the data truly trickles down the cable one command at a time. Like turn on a note, or turn it off.
I have a deluge, too. So I made some simple chords and monitored the MIDI data coming out it. With a fresh clip set to MIDI channel 1, I placed a C-E-G chord in the fourth beat for a quarter note each. Ran it multiple times, always was transmitted in C4, E4, and G4 order. The note off commands came in the same order. Didn't matter which order I hit the pads when entering the notes on the grid, it was always C4, E4, and G4. OK, looks like a lower number priority scheme is used to determine who goes first.
Next, I had just a single C4 on ch1, then put another C4 at exactly the same spot on ch2. This time it sent ch2 C4 followed by ch1 C4. I added another MIDI channel with a C at the same beat as the others. This time it sent ch3 C4, ch2 C4, and then ch1 C4. From this, I jump to the conclusion that higher order MIDI channels have priority when being transmitted.
I'm sorry, but I'm not exactly clear on what your question is precisely. I can tell you that for generative stuff, I use probability in the deluge to control the NDLR. For me, this works great. How to get various pieces of software to play together nicely is beyond me.
