How to send various midi data to the same instance of a virtual instrument

In Sonar I'm midi tracks and instrument tracks are independent. So I'm able to have several tracks with different midi chaels and all of those goes to just an instance of a virtual instrument.

Example: I'm used to have one midi track for each instrument of a string section. So Violins have a midi track routed to a EW Play with strings on chael one. Violas have a midi track routed to the SAME EW Play but with violas on chael 2. Cellos, midi chael routed to the SAME EW Play with cellos on chael 3. And so on and so forth. I can then have another instance (or even another instrument) for the hos and trumpets on chael 1, trombones on 2, etc. That means, when working with a orchestral score for instance I can have one instance of a given instrument to play the whole section, instead of having one instrument for each midi track.

Can I do something like that on S13?
