Korg TR-RACK Specifications

* Multi-timbral (number of parts): 16
* Oscillators per Voice :
o Min : 1
o Max : 2


So knowing that, I'll say give your patches/instruments on tr unique midi numbers/channels.
ie.

synth = midi channel 1
horns = midi channel 2
tomtom = midi channel 3
etc.

Seq1, midi type track on mpc, trk 1 midi channel 1 for tr synth recording
Seq1, midi type track on mpc, trk 2 midi channel 2 for tr horns recording
Seq1, midi type track on mpc, trk 3 midi channel 3 for tr tomtom recording

Also..this thread if/when you decide to convert song to seq later on.
