Music Overlay - why can't you map the play/stop/record buttons?

Hey Jonathan, thanks for the message. Currently, the play/stop/record buttons send SysEx messages to indicate Play/Stop/Record. We are aware that these messages are unfortunately incompatible with Ableton. We’ve received several requests to be able to map this to generic CC events and will likely roll this feature out in one of the upcoming releases. Would mapping the buttons to CC events be sufficient for your requirements?
