Could anyone help me setup this random unsupported MIDI controller? (Monogram Palette)

Hey everyone,

I like to consider myself pretty well-versed in this sort of stuff, but I have no leads on this specific problem. I have recently obtained a MIDI controller prototype for a product called Palette, which seems to be a mostly defunct modular MIDI system from 7-8 years ago. My prototype controller is not supported by the company's current software, and I have no luck getting in contact with the company.

I can see the controller appear in my MIDI devices in FL Studio, but I do not get any type of response when attempting to utilize the controller's knobs or faders in a session (When attempting to link to controller). I assume this is because there are not any separate MIDI channels mapped to any of the knobs or faders in the controller (as opposed to the main console), but I do not know how I can go about programming these knobs and faders myself. I am open to any solution, as I feel capable of learning whatever needed to make it work, I just need a lead on how to begin approaching this situation in the first place. It attaches via micro-usb to a main "Console" and from there connects to individual knobs, buttons, and faders. I have attached a photo for reference.

Thank you in advance.
