I assume you know:
(1) you can program the controller destinations for the knobs from 
CC = 1 -> 119
(2) when you save a multiseup, the controller destinations are saved.

I am curious to know what gaps you might want a workaround for.

I haven't done anything with CV and triggers since working with the 
original Moog.

I am partial to E-Mu; I have the P2500 and really like the 
felibility the design provides. Raised on the Moog, I 
love "patchcords." The take me back to my synth roots. 

If you want to embed a small sysex to change controllers (or 
anything else for that matter), check out:

(1) http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/xl7/message/16542
(2) Files | Controller Midi File (for a demo file that will change 
controller settings.

If you run the file, I suggest you save your current settings in a 
multisetup first.

I used cakewalk software to create the file and e-loader to put it 
into my e-mu.
