Starting/Stopping Recording in Audition with external midi controller

I'm fully aware that Audition lacks any sort of Midi Sequencing functionality, but I'm looking for something a bit more mundane (and i'm sure @SteveG_AudioMasters_ will be able to answer this).

I have a Roland MC-707 that i'm looking to Multitrack Record directly into Audition.  It acts as a Midi Device as well as an interface, and will do 20 tracks of audio over USB.  I'm sequencing/performing completely separate from Audition, but would like to be able to edit my recordings in Audition (to send OMFs to a ProTools mixer).

With other DAWs, i'm able to set my hardware sequencer as the Clock Source, and trigger that way. . . but I'm wondering if it's possible to map ANY midi controller for Transport Functions in Adobe Audition.  From there, I could map the Start/Stop button on the sequencer as Start/Stop in Audition, and the midi command from that button to trigger.

TL;DR - Anyone have any success with mapping Non-Faderport Midi Control Surfaces to Adobe Audition?  Thanks.
