Transport controls, how to mimic?

Question

Hello MD's!

I am trying to recreate the transport controls for a hardware audio looper via midi.  Standard stop, play, record functions.  I have a supercontrol, to toggle play/stop buttons working just fine but what i can't figure out is how to get the record button when toggled on to turn on the play button as well, (and turning off the stop button,) then on second press of the record button, no action on the play as it still is playing but no longer recording. Also if record button is on, (as is the play button,) pressing stop turns off record button, (as well as turning off play, its peer subcontrol.)  Make sense?

On top of this, there are 4 separate tracks, each with their own play/stop buttons. So when I press Play or Stop on the main transport, I need the 4 track play/stop buttons to mimic their state.  pressing play on the main transport, switches all track play buttons on, same goes for stop.

Thanks for any help!

There are some options here -- and it might take some creativity to do this, and it could be impossible -- but if it cannot be done with supercontrols directly, you'd have to start trying stuff with Presets for Groups. Note that by having a toggle as a STORE button, you can avoid overwriting your presets. Then... if this happens to show any promise, it's easy enough to get supercontrol buttons that make the Presets for Groups move to a particular position.
