Reply to N00b VST Question

With my new copy of Minimonsta I have found that there are well lots of pad's and basses that I really like, now would it be possible to run that vst say 2 or 3 times in different channels of a track, or would i need to lay down say main pad record it and then use the vst again on another channel and record those sounds?

then use the arrangement page to rearrange them how i want them?

obviously as you can tell having only been playing around with Ableton for a few months my work flow is not that flowing yet!

hope this makes sense
