a plea - Automating lane volume / pan in Zebra/Zebra HZ

[bhinton]

I've searched for an answer to this here, there, everywhere and just not quite ready to give up.
Is there ANY way to make lane volume and global sends (VoiceMix section) and the master/bus1/bus2 volume controls (Master section) visible for automation? The only way to control them at present is via midi, which for - well, I'd think more folks than just me - isn't a good choice due to my particular setup and config.
Could one just add the parameters to the end of the com.u-he.Zebra2.publicparams.txt file? the names are revealed if you manually "learn" midi for them and in the top center display when moving them.
This has been driving me crazy for years. I need to control lane volume and send/busses in the global section during performance via OSC. Even a feedback-aware midi controller's faders aren't a solution - to get takeover to work (I use Bidule as a host when I perform) only automation-exposed parameters are sent back to the device in my system.
My XY's are all used up, and often the mod matrix too - but these aren't really fader-friendly anyway.
Mixing between lanes on the fly is such a powerful performance technique. It would be great to find a solution.

I'd normally say XYs, but d'oh... if you used them all... how about the Const parameter in ModMixers?

Anyhow... the reason they were not exposed are historical and they have gone for a while. We can add them to the end of the list. I'll smuggle it into our Zebra 2.8 update plans.
