If it wasn't necessary to select a vsti's track in order to be able 
to play it, this would be trivial to implement in the environment. 
Really wished Emagic did something about this silly "feature"...

Come to think of it: if you use different velocity-layers in an EXS 
instrument, it would be do-able (and simple) to make an environment 
patch that allows you to switch between layers with unused keys. 
Then you'd still be stuck with _velocity_ layers of course which is 
not ideal...
