Transpose buttons on midi keyboard to Max

Hi.

I'm building an FM synth for a M-Audio keyboard (for school). And for this synth I want all parameters mapped to the presentation of the patch. But, when pressing the Transpose buttons on the keyboard this is not recognized through the "ctlin" object in Max. Is there anyway of making this so?
It shall not fill any other purpose than flashing a button every time you press one of the transpose keys...

Thanks!

You could use the midiin object to see what kind of data these buttons are sending. There's a chance that they don't send any MIDI, though.

Transpose keys rarely transmit any messages...

So I gather, so that plan is out of the window.
Thanks for the replies, though!
