See "GIVE THIS A TRY FIRST" below!!

I would encourage you to take Aaron's suggestion and suggest to 
Novation they implement Start/Continue/Stop as a control type for the 
transport buttons. (But don't bug them about the typos.) They may not 
have wanted to implement a master clock on that model, but even with 
that, they should still be able to set up a Transport Control Type.  
(Do they have a higher cost version that does have a built in midi 
clock generator?)

In the meantime, you can program the transport buttons as CCs.

WAIT A SEC!!!!!

I discovered some undocumented E-Mu remote control commands.  One of 
them is Play/Continue. (I have done anything with those in quite a 
while.)

Hmmmmm. You would have to use one button to open E-Mu's remote control 
mode, one button for the E-Mu remote control start command, and one 
button to close E-Mu's remote control mode.

But wait!!!  GIVE THIS A TRY FIRST:

The picture on page 34 shows the cursor under the 0 in the F0.  Can 
you change that to an FA and only have one byte?  If so, you maye be 
in luck.

The manual states: "If all 18 bytes of the System Exclusive message 
are used the F7 end of message value will be automatically inserted." 
Maybe that means if you only use 1 byte (FA) the F7 will NOT be 
inserted.

Good luck!
