When multiple articulations are within one loadable instrument you can use
keyswitching (usually deep notes at the bottom of the controller and out of the
instruments normal range -eg hit C1 and you get articulation A henceforth, Hit
C#1 and get articulation B until you hit another keyswitch etc) or you can use
a controller (mod wheel >64 gives a different articualation to modwheel <64).

See Skarbee's posts of a week or two ago.

No problem -- use sample streaming. With the  EXS24 it is called Virtual
Memory. Go to the bottom of the "options" list on the EXS24 GUI and you will
see "Virtual Memory" -- set it to active. Of course every sampler voice playing
is like a hard disk audio track running so if you are trying to use a lot of
audio tracks (or a lot of bounced tracks) you might run into the limitations of
your hardware especially on a Laptop. Samples on one drive(s) and Audio on
another is a good way to go.

Motu and Akai are vapour at this stage. In the vapour phase they are very
capable. We will have to wait and see what they deliver.
