Just thinking out loud here Hendrik, but tell me if this would work: Suppose you set up a bunch of different EXS instruments with different articulations loaded into each. Then create a cable switcher type of fader object with a cable going to each one of them. Set the input definition for the cable switcher to be a specific midi note (if this isn't directly possible, then I suppose you could convert the incoming message via a transformer). Make the cable switcher your track instrument. Then play/record on it and use your dedicated midi note pitch to automatically toggle the cable switcher outputs to the different EXS instruments. There shouldn't be any latency issue since technically there is only one EXS instance being triggered at a time.
