LA 4.7 allows you to use the environment's tools to work with audio
instruments. Arpeggiators, for example,  work fine for me -- just cable the
output of the arpeggiator to the audioinstrument you want and select the
arpeggiator in the arrange page.

You should be able to use a  fader to map any controller to any other
controller. Look for basic environment tutorials -- try Len Sasso's site --
he has the definitive guides to using the environment (right up to date
with LA 4.7 available for download and some basic tutorials are available
on the Web and on his site (I think). You can download some environments
from his site for things like the Line 6 POD and see examples of how these
things work.

I just tried using a fader to map my mod wheel to various EXS controllers
-- no luck so far. 

I tried doing the same to the Model E and got it to work with some
controllers but not all. For examples: I mapped a fader to take incoming
controller 1 (modulation) to controller 65 and the glide setting on the
Model E panel  turned with the mod wheel and the change was evident in the
sound.  Other parameters  egs Mix Osc 1,2,3 and waveform Osc 2,3 all worked
but the really useful ones like filter cutoff and emphasis did not work as
expected.

(go to Dave B's site and find in the softsynths user section a page which
shows how the controllers for the Model E in Logic are mapped courtesy of
Len Sasso: http://www.ozemail.com.au/~oscwilde/softsynth/modelecont.htm).

Perhaps someone else has got a little further with this.

Murray
