Midi notes messages on HX stomp – Helix

Hi there, 

I would like to trigger samples in my Akai MPX8 using my HX Stomp. It happens the sampler only takes Midi Notes messages and It seems HX stomp does not feature that kind of Midi. I was wondering if CC messages can somehow mimic a note message (using some correspondances) or if (as I’m affraid it is) Notes and CC messages are 2 very different kind of Midi messages which are not compatible (one device made to accept 1 kind can’t accept the other kind). Also, is any firmware update planned to add Midi Notes Messages to the Helix product family? 
Thanking you in advance!

Pablo.
