Vsl And Logic 8 Options

[rocor]

Hallo everybody. My first time here. I'm using Vienna Instrument (Solo Strings) with Logic 8, controlling all "map control parameters" in Hyper Editor, giving to each parameter a different midi channel. And everything works wonderfully. but I've two questions:

1-how can I switch from the first (orizzontal) level of patches to a second or a third one (etc) when the first 12 are filled up, without using key switches (wich I don't like because they make confusion in the score). Is there a controller for this, as I use for all other parameters?

2-How can I play "pizzicato glissando" (or another articulation) where the glissando goes, let's say, from C to G or more? I do pizzicato glissando using the pitch wheel controller in Hyper Editor, but in this way I can go at maximum one tone over or down (with pitch range 200 in performer control). If I use a portamento patch it works only with "long" notes, and it'snot a glissando. Is there a way? Contemporary music is full of this effect so there sould be a way.

thank you with all my heart for the attention
