Control Sequencer in Minifreak V with hardware Minifreak

Is there a way to properly control the software sequencer running in Minifreak V from the hardware Minifreak?
I want to achieve, that what i record on the hardware Minifreak is reflected on the Minifreak V. When i try to do this, there is always a mess and more and more notes are recorded. The other problem is, that i have to start the sequencer on Minifreak V from the plugin itself. When i press play on the hardware MInifreak, nothing happens in the plugin. Maybe this is intended behaviour, or maybe i am doing something wrong.

Any help is very much appreciated.
