the other way i was thinking about this situation is like this, Take 
a DJ style mixer paly the meat and potatos out the main mix and what 
you are about to bring into the mix out a sub output into another 
chanel on the mixer. this way you can record what you are dooing wile 
adutioning it in the head phones, make any corrections that you might 
have to then bring it into the mix.

The sequencer can't save two different settings of paramiters for one 
program. so you have to have multiples.  that is the way i understand 
it.  It is like you have a synth sitting on your desk, when you hook 
it up to another midi chanell do another synth suddenly apear?
Nope, i wish it did couse i would have like 32 JX-8P's right now LOL.
