As far as I can tell there's only one solution (read: major kludge) 
that would work.  Assign midi remote commands to Logic's "next track" 
and "previous track" commands.  Make sure you have audio-instruments 
1-8 in order on the arrange page.  Make an environment patch that 
remembers which track is currently selected and that, upon reception 
of some event like the lowest keys of your keyboard, produces enough 
"next" or "previous" commands which are sent into the Physical In 
object.
So basically you let the "midi notes switch" work as an automated 
cursor keypad to select the proper EXS track.

Would anyone actually be interested in such a kludge?
