Doofer more than 8 macros

Ideas & suggestions
1

Is it possible to hack the doofer or something to have more than 8 macros? Some effects I’ve been mangling need more than 8 knobs and I can’t seem to come up with a solution.

Put a doofer in a doofer? ;)

Or simply use a hydra.

Well, I’ve tried the doofer in a doofer approach and it won’t seem to help. This is gonna be hard to explain but: When you put a doofer in a doofer, you can only reach the secondary doofer’s macros from the outer one, not the 2nd doofer’s internal DSP controls . So you still cant macro say 10 different controls from various DSP’s to 10 different macros. I’m probably missing something but oh well…

I’m posting up my chain in case it makes more sense. Was trying to build a multiband compressor thing inspired by this thread and ran out of macro’s.
