Using hardware midi encoder to send midi cc into Ableton, from Ableton to portamento control on Kenton Pro Solo II CC#5

Don't know why this is so difficult to figure out lol but after lots of googling and not coming up with a solution (short of buying Max 4 Live), taking the question here. I'm using a Kenton Pro Solo II to control an analog synth and i want to control glide in real time from a midi controller. So that some notes can glide more / less (having cv and gate plugged in disables the synth's internal glide knob so I have to control this with the Kenton). I can get Ableton to send the right midi CC by drawing it in in clip view, and its working. But I can't figure out a way to map the knob to a control which then will allow me to change the setting in real time (dont want to draw it in, want to control while playing). Hope this makes sense and I know people have run into this issue in the past from reading various forums. How would you address this in 2025? Thanks
