This would typically be a job for the environment: make a patch that 
alters the position of a cable switcher, depending on the incoming 
modulation for example.  The input of the cable switcher takes 
incoming midi notes, which are sent out to various EXS instances (or 
one instance which uses samples on different midi channels, or any 
other equivalent solution).  The problem is that this will only work 
with pre-recorded tracks and not with live-input, since Logic 
requires you to have a particular EXS-track selected for live 
playing.  With the proposed solution you wouldn't have an EXS track 
selected, but a track assigned to the environment patch.  I really 
hope they fix this in the near future.  Until then, I don't think 
there's another way...
