There is no real way to use 16 channels on your Virus, and another 16 on your sampler, if you are running them both from the same sequencer (well, VST anyways - I use VST too by the way). You can sync up 2 seperate sequencers to get the job done though. I have never tried anything like this from a single computer though - only hardware sequencers when jamming with mates.
You can however disable midi channels in your Virus and sampler not to respond to incomming midi. This will give you 8 channels for the Virus and 8 for the sampler for example. Unfortunately I haven't used multi-mode (in the way it was intended) for ages, so I can't give you the specific menu presses at the moment because I'm not infront of my gear.
I'm sure one of the other guys can answer from the top of their heads though. If they can't, I'll take a look in a few days and let you know.
