In Cubase set everything up as you want it' vsts, routings, etc and then save as a template.
When saving as a project the patches are saved.
One tip for you...when making tracks and using patches think about saving/exporting those patches used in the project folder. Make a folder called patches and sub folders with vsts patches are from.
ie : d:\Cubase projects\Song1\Patches\Virus Patches\
Include a notepad file for the channel in Cubase and no harm in making a notepad file for channels, instruments and patches used.
Can safe a lot of heartache if things go tits up!
Another option with the VIrus (and any other plugin). Create your own bank saving presets from other banks in it. Always got your favourite presets to hand
