Okay, so now that the EXS II has all these control routings, how yawl 
been setting it up so you can control dynamics and brightness while 
playing it? Just doing a little research to save myself some time.

I want to set this up for breath control, and I'm trying to decide 
the best way to do it (whether to set up an Environment transformer 
or reprogram all the sounds). Controller 7 (volume) doesn't work well 
with a breath controller, since it goes down all the way when you 
stop blowing.

Expression?

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.
