I just checked the sysex manual to see if there might be a way to 
assign midi channels individually to each of the 32 synth channels. 
However, unless there are some undocumented parameters for this, 
youi cannot fool the synth engine via sysex.

Aaron once spelled out which parameters the linked presets inherit 
from the main preset definition and which parameters they don't. I 
think this was part of an explanation of why linked presets sound 
different when linked as opposed to when they are used individually. 
This might or might not affect your design of your presets.

Your design sounds interesting. Feel free to share the results. I 
for one would be interested.
