Hey there everyone, I have an Access Virus TI Keyboard and just purchased yesterday a Roland JP-8080. I have hooked up my JP but have a few questions.

Firstly, I want to describe my set-up:
I have an M-Audio Audiophile 192 soundcard with only 4 I/O. The Virus takes up two and my monitors take up two as well so already I don't have room for the JP's two outputs. But, since my TI is also a soundcard, I have plugged in my monitors into the Out's of the TI and the JP into the In's of the TI. From the JP I have Remote Keyboard In MIDI going to the MIDI Out of the Virus TI. To make a long story short, I get sound from the JP through my monitors whilst playing the TI keyboard which is success. I can also play my TI alone.

My question now is, how do I go about putting soundbanks into my JP if I don't have a SmartMedia 5v card for the JP that is sold separately? I want to be able to create my own sounds without overwriting the factory presets and be able to somehow save those patches I have made onto my computer for recall whenever I need them. I have read somewhere online that this can be done with WinJPLib but have no clue how to use it. In terms of set-up, do the MIDI I/O of the JP have to connect to the MIDI I/O of my M-Audio soundcard or to the Virus TI (since the Virus is the main soundcard when I'll be using the JP-8080).

Here are some pictures, I would appreciate any help:
