Question about integrating the sequencer/CCs and DAW

I have been considering the Digitone for a while but as much as I love the sound I really am trying to determine how it will fit with my setup.
I would definitely use it within my DAW, using its multitimbrality functions, and along with other synths, VI’s etc…

So a few questions:

  1. How is its MIDI cc implementation? can I freely assign sound parameter to respond to CC so I can record those to my DAW?

  2. How feasible is it to record MIDI note data to the DAW and run the DT sequencer in sync for parameter locks?

  3. How do you keyboardists overcome the lack of sustain pedal functionality when recording keyboard-like parts?
