Okay... Next try...

Maybe I'm being dense, but this is still not clear to me.  Do you 
mean that you load up _one_ EXS program, and that this program has 
_two_ sample layers, one with an 'aheh' sound and the other with 
'ehoh'?

'That'?  What 'that'?  Switching between layers of samples?  But 
that's exactly what I described in my previous post, so apparently 
I'm missing the point...

What do you mean by 'different attacks'?  Again, are we talking about 
layers of completely different samples?  Or do you want to use the 
modwheel to shift the trigger/starting-point within a single layer? 
I.e. no modwheel: sample is triggered from the very start (sample 1), 
full modwheel: sample is triggered e.g. 500 ms into the sample 
(sample 22051) and thus the original attack of the sound is skipped? 
Or something else still?

Maybe, maybe not.  If you could phrase the question in a more 
"technically correct/complete" way, I or someone else might be able 
to answer it.
