The MIDI channel of the original file should be retained, and the files 
were apparently correctly split to 3 tracks. So they should not all 
output to the same channel to begin with.

Do you mean the dropdown in the track-header itself? That is a MIDNAM 
channel Display (check the tooltip).

Have you used the Channel Selector Dialog, and set it to "Use a single 
fixed channel for all playback"?

https://manual.ardour.org/working-with-tracks/midi-track-controls/

Which version of Ardour do you use?

Could you load ACE MIDI Monitor plugin (comes with Ardour) to each of 
the tracks to verify the data during playback?
