Hello,
You can certainly set several parts of a Performance to the same MIDI channel so they can be triggered by a MIDI controller that has a single channel only, but you are correct in that the Performance KBD / keyboard range settings do not affect the incoming MIDI signal (they only affect the keyboard of the Juno-DS88 itself).
You can edit each Patch and change the Key Range settings under the PATCH EDIT / TMT tab, and this will then set up that patch to only play for a specific range of notes (either from the Juno-DS keyboard, or from an external MIDI controller. This would be what we would recommend for your setup.
Best Regards,
