Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Alright, 
I just won a s1100 on ebay..

I was just checking this out:
http://lakai.sourceforge.net/docs/s1000_sysex.html

I've got a Edirol PCR MIDI controller which can send SysEx messages (there's an editor for 
it to route the messages to the knobs, wheel, etc.)
I also got a template of the Roland PG-300 which can be uploaded to the PCR to replicate 
a PG-300..

Anyways, I was just wondering (don't know anything about SysEx) if you know that the 
'Start', 'Loop' and 'Cross-Fade' parameters are CC or SysEx, and which numbers are they?

points via midi CC's, I know the Ensoniq EPS samplers can do it, kinda like a really nasty 
realtime time stretch. On the plus size the esi has got quite a bit of RAM, internal Zip and 
SCSI, digital I/O, FX processors and a bunch of filters.
