If your synth doesn't have presets in which you can store mappings, 
you can do it in Logic's environment.  Just one transformer for every 
"preset" is needed.  Set a transformer's "Operations" -1- parameter 
to "Use Map" and draw the appropriate Map.  E.g. if your synth sends 
out CC1-CC8 and you want them to map to CC85-92, set the map up such 
that 1 maps to 85, 2 maps to 86, etc.
Make one transformer map for each setting you need.  Then create a 
Cable Switcher, and cable it into the various maps.  If you set the 
switch's 'style' to Text, you can type in sensible names for the 
various presets. Cable the maps to whichever object you want to 
control. Assign an Arrange track to the switch, and off you go.
You could have a small floating environment window open next to your 
arrange, displaying the switch, so you can easily switch settings.

Why did you sends this to L-OT btw?  Seems perfectly on-topic to me.
