I'm having problems trying to control the multi-purpose transport button (MPTB) in Looper through a Max for Live effect. According to the LOM the MPTB's value can be set as follows:

0 - Stop 1 - Record 2 - Play 3 - Overdub

The problem is this... If the set is NOT currently playing and the MPTB's value is set to 1 then the Looper does not automatically start recording. It only records if the set is already playing, in which case the tempo of the looper does not match the global tempo.

So, setting the parameter's value through Max for Live and clicking on the control have different results.
