What is the problem?
As a user performing with the Synth, I’d like to
- use my faderfox PC4 to control all macros simulataneously and independently, and also adjust the synth slot’s volume and panning without menu-diving
- program macro changes as well as changes in volume and panning in my hardware sequencer
What should this feature achieve?
These are the mappings I would expect:
- C1-C3 are mapped to CC#1 (Modulation), CC#2 (Breath) and CC#3
- Channel Volume maps to CC#7
- Panning maps to CC#10.
Are there any workarounds?
No.
Any links to related discussions?
No.
Any references to other products?
- Every product with a mod matrix that allows for mapping of midi controllers, e.g. Waldorf Blofeld or Micro-Q
- Every multitimbral synth I am aware of maps volume and panning to CC#7 and CC#10
- Performance Controls on Elektron Analog Four

Not being able to control macros via CC is unbelievable. At first I was thinking that I do not understand how CC mappings are implemented. 
There have been updates since your post, and this problem seems to exist, as I read in the forum, for a long time and on many Polyend devices. Therefore, there is little hope of seeing the problem fixed one day, sadly.
I just don’t use macros at all in my setup because of that.
Not responding to cc7 for volume is also pretty odd.
It appears that people who use macros only use one voice at a time, that’s probably why this topic only has 4 votes, and one single response in over a year.
But also I have never seen anyone use a Synth on stage, seems to be more like a home jam and youtube instrument.
I use macros a lot, and that is exactly why Synth is no longer part of my setup. I had returned my first one for exactly that reason, got another one a couple of months later, because I do like its sound and can probably live with all the other quirks, but this one feature is essential for me, because macros are the primary tool I use to modulate sound over time.
