i've recently had a similar problem; i have one P3 running thru the 
other, and wanted the 'slave' P3 to use an FTS setting while 
everything sent thru by the master remained unaffected. i'll quote 
Colin's response:
"That's controlled be the record mode FTS option - even in play mode.
You can turn it off in record mode, and the notes passed thru in play 
mode
will not be FTS'd."
so: in Pattern-edit mode, hit REC, then hit Page and set FTS to off. 
hit REC again to exit the record mode. about the part & patterns; i 
think you may be a bit confused. with a 6*8 memeory layout there is a 
total of 8 patterns per track in each bank. a playlist is nothing 
more than than an ordered list consisting of (combinations of) these 
8 patterns. a part is nothing more than a collection of 1 playlist 
per track. so if you edit a pattern in a playlist-step in part 3 for 
instance, this pattern will also be changed for all other playlists.
hope this helps.
