Kontakt 8 Player and Multiple Outputs

I'm trying to create a reusable 4-piece sax section with Kontakt 8 Player and Session Horns Pro. I intend to record each horn on its own track. I've gotten to the point where it looks like it's going to work -- all the correct things light up when I play the different horns with my MIDI controller.
My track section looks like this:

and my console looks like this:

My first question is this: What is that blue channel on the left end of the console, labeled "Kontakt 8?" It looks as if it must be there. Is it a bus? Its fader controls all the faders in the track view. If I arm it to record all the tracks get armed with it.
Next question: Could I save this setup so I can just pop it into any song I'm working on? I thought maybe I could use a Track Preset, but I now I'm not sure because I have four tracks.

EDITED TO ADD: I should say that this setup is using just one instance of Kontakt.

Thank you for any ideas you can offer!

Check to see if this option is checked...
If so, uncheck it then create a new song with Kontakt 8 to see if that gives you what you want.

I just checked that setting on my install. I haven't touched it since installing v7 and yes, it defaulted to selected, so I unchecked it. Thanks for the tip.
 
The "Automatically create busses . . ." box was checked. I have unchecked it and I'll see if that's the answer. If it does I'll mark this thread "Solved."
Regarding my second question above, I see that this can't be saved as a Track Preset because it's actually four tracks. I'll have to figure out another way to make my sax section reusable.

Returning to say that I've abandoned the reusable sax section plan I had. It was clunky and in the end I realized it was not what I needed to do anyway. But unchecking the "Automatically create busses . . ." did have the desired effect. I just don't really need it. Many thanks to Trucky, Maartian and Lukas for assistance.
