Customizing MiniLab3 for Logic Pro

Salivations!

I’ve got my MiniLab3 controlling Logic as expected via the Logic script and have MIDI Control Center connected just fine as well.

First, can I make the 4 MiniLab sliders adjust track volume for Logic’s tracks 1-4? Or even better, is there a way to use the 8 encoders to adjust volume for tracks 1-8?

Next, is there a way to make the shift functions of the 8 pads work without shifting? In other words, is there a way to get the 5th pad to stop transport without needing to use the shift button?

And in the same vein, how do I change shift functions in the Midi Control Center? I can’t seem to select both a control and shift at the same time.

Appreciate any help!
