Is it possible to use  the transport/record controls  with a  protocol in Synfire?

6.2. DAW Control with Mackie Control Universal
DAWs for which we do not have custom scripts as of KeyLab Essential’s release, may still be
controlled using the Mackie Control Universal (MCU) or Human User Interface (HUI) protocol.
By design, KeyLab Essential defaults to not outputting MCU or HUI in order to avoid certain
issues. You need to activate it in the MCC if you want to use these protocols.
Setting up MCU varies from one DAW to another, so consult your DAW’s documentation for
details. In general, however, you will take these steps:
• Enable the MIDI input port KeyLab Essential (49/61/88) mk3 MCU/HUIM in your
DAW’s MIDI preferences.
• Add and set up Mackie Control in your DAW’s “Control Surfaces” settings if it has
them.
