Is there any way to squeeze out more CC out from the Digitone II midi machines?

As the title states - I have Digitone controlling a drum machine VST of mine - I need 18-19 params for it to be at complete parity.

I tried to assign MW and BC (CC 1, CC 2) - while it allows me to send Digitone CC out, I cannot receive it back in, which matters because if I change a kit on the drum machine VST, the Digitone params need to update.

Curious if anyone has any clever ideas!

Just use two midi tracks set to the same midi channel? :wink:
