Thanks a lot Jockeyman123 for your detailed reply! Really appreciate your generosity. Actually I find it rather inconvenient to control the transport buttons on the software via my casio pedal even if it is possible to re-assign it with the help of some midi translating software or hardware you suggest (Then I'll have to draw the sustain after recording the piano in the Garageband as I won't be able to use it while playing anymore). If the start/stop or FF/Rewind buttons in the CDP230R is not programmed to send any midi message at all (let alone being able to send a fixed control change number or being freely assignable) then I think It'd be wise to invest in a separate midi transport controller like Behringer x-touch mini or use a midi keyboard controller with built in transport control, while using CDP230R only as a tone generator (via midi out from the software sequencer). Thanks again for your help!

Hi, I have recently bought a CDP-230R piano. I hooked it up with my Macbook pro via USB and was able to play software instruments in Apple Garageband successfully. I was wondering can I use CDP-230R's stop/play/FF/Rewind buttons or sustain pedal as a MIDI controller to control Garageband's transport control? I have no previous experience in MIDI, so I couldn't understand the MIDI implementation chart included in the manual. I attached the chart here. Any help on this subject would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
