Map Controller to Synths w/Different Global Chan's

I'm certain this is within MIDI-OXs capabilities, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet.
I have a home studio with 5 synths/modules + software synths + Radium controller keyboard and a MOTU MIDI Express 128 MIDI interface. The one drawback to the Express is that it doesn't function as a stand-alone. It only lets me play the synths when an application (such as SoundDiver, Logic Audio) is running. I downloaded MIDI-OX so that, if I wanted to noodle around on the keyboards, I wouldn't have to start up one of the apps.
Here's what I have:
Kawai K1 synth
Kawai K4 synth
Kawai XD-5 percussion synth
Korg X5DR synth
Casio WK-3500 keyboard workstation
SoundBlaster Audigy (S/W synth, A & B soundfont synths)
Now here's the situation: I've been able to configure MIDI-OX to allow me to play the software synths and my Casio WK-3500, but I can't get it to play the other synths and I've found it's due to the way I have their Global Transmit/Receive channels set.
The Casio and the software synths have sounds available on Ch 1 by default (if I switched the channel on my Radium, I could then play sounds on the other channels, of course). But my three Kawai units and the Korg are set to different channels:
Kawai K1 = 14
Kawai K4 = 15 (Drums 10)
Kawai XD-5 = 10
Korg X5DR = 16
I have them set like this so that, when I'm working on a song in Logic, the SysEx/Program Change/Global Data don't affect my multi-patches. In other words, I don't want program change data meant to switch a single patch in one of the multi-patches to change the Multi-Patch instead.
So what I assume I have to do is tell MIDI-OX, when I've selected the Preset, say, to play my K1, to map anything coming out of my Radium controller to Channel 14. Now I assume this involves the Data Mapping feature. I looked at that and it seem like what I want, but what I couldn't see how to do was apply it ONLY to that Preset or only to that MIDI Out port on the Express.
Am I missing something? Is it something as simple as "Data Mapping applies to the currently-loaded Port Routing configuration?"
Suggestions?

After you have created and SAVED a Data Map, it can be assigned to an Input-Output connection routing in the Routings view (View | Port Routings...). Click on the little button for the connection of interest, and assign your Data Map.
