Wouldn't expression also suffer from the "down to zero" problem? 
Anyway, why not set up a transformer in front of the EXS, with the 
Operations -2- parameter set to "Scale".  You get two tweakable 
values -- multiplication and addition -- that together allow you to 
create a slope that takes 0-127 (input) into e.g. 40-127, or whatever 
else you like.  This gets rid of the 'down to zero' thing.
