layering patches in Virus TI

Hello everybody,

I was wondering if there is anyway of layering patches using the Virus TI to create a new patch.
It is common practise for me to create sounds that are combination of patches (layering) by recording patches separately in Logic Pro and then layering them within Logic. The problem is when I need to play those sounds live I need to be able to somehow control all the layers of a sound together (e.g. triggering all of them with one key).
Is there a way to be able to do this with Virus TI?
If not, any idea how I could accomplish this?

note: I am not using the Virus TI plugin

not really.
I have been exclusively been using the Virus TI in sequencer mode, which I thought is more or less the same.
In sequencer mode I don't think it is possible to layer patches directly from the TI. I could only do that using my sequencer program. But still I have to face the issue I described above.
