The EXS parameters respond only to fader messages on channel 2.

EXS listens always in channel 2. This EXS communication channel has 
nothing to do with the midi channel of the audio intrument object. If 
you have more audio instruments with EXS you have to cable your faders 
to each instance. If you want simultaneousely control of all EXS 
instances you have to use a fader-set for each of them. If one-by-one 
is enough you can use one fader-set and switch it to the different 
audio objects.

The upper slider is Fader Ch2 32, value 0-96
The lower slider is Fader Ch2 33, value 0-96

Your midi controller should have scaleable values to avoid values above 
96 or you scale it in the environment. Higher values do not hurt the 
EXS but you would have a 'dead range' between 96 and 127 where the 
velocity is at the max.

Some tricky environment work rises up if you want to control the upper 
AND the lower part of splitted faders (like with velocity). Upper 
slider must be always higher then the lower one and vice versa. If you 
do not deal with this you get sudden jumps.

Like explained above, the EXS works only via channel 2. Are you sure 
that you can work with channel 1? This should not be possible...
