Well the thru track is specifically for live playing, and uses it's own channel by default so that you can play along with the program and not interfere with the other tracks that are playing. You probably know you can audition the sound of any track by using the Piano tab of the Mixer window. Another idea is to use scrub mode in the notation window. If you need to audition by playing an external keyboard, you can audition patches on the Thru track and then set the Melody or Soloist (whichever you are recording to) to the same patch.

Alternatively, you try Options | MIDI Settings, and set the Thru track to channel 4 (same as melody), then it should work like you want...
