Logic unable to handle midi controller data from my alesis andromeda

Question

I'm having problems recording knob movement (filter sweeps, lfo rate
movement) into logic from my alesis andromeda. When logic is in record mode
and I'm moving the filter from low to high very slowly, the data comes out
all jumpy, with the midi in/out meter jumping all over the place.
I found out that because the filters and knobs on the alesis andromeda are
analog, it sends out NRPN data and not regular midi CC's. The NRPN data is
in much larger increments than regular 0-127 midi data. I'm not sure why
but logic was never made to handle this data directly. I've been told that
there is a solution for filtering this NRPN data into data that logic can
read/write/automate, but i'm unsure how.
If anyone has any insight, it would be great appreciated.
My setup is as follows:
G5 Dual 2ghz
Logic Pro 7.2.2
Emagic Unitor 8 midi interface
Alesis Andromeda Synth

First, this data is recorded into a new MIDI region. Is there a way to record this directly into the existing region? If not, is there a way to copy the data from the new region into the existing region? If so, is there a way to copy ONLY the data from these selected MIDI parameters into the new region. For instance, say I've got my first region with everything but modulation data set, and I then record the modulation data into a new region. Can I only copy this modulation data into the existing region without blowing everything else away?
*Either merge the regions by using the "glue" tool if you want to integrate all the controller data
*To select only certain controller from an event list click on one event e.g. Modulation and then use "select similar" (my KC for this is shift+S) - all modulation data is selected and can be copied/pasted into another Midi region
*You can also write data into existing regions using the Hyper Editor
