nanokontrol2 - turn off track highlighting in ableton

Okay, I just bought the nanokontrol 2 yesterday and I'm experiencing a very anoying problem.

when I map faders or buttons in Ableton live, using the midi map button on the upper right hand side of the screen, the Ableton screen keeps jumping to the track the fader is mapped to normaly.
What I'm trying to say is, for example, when I assign fader 1 to an effect in track 4 in ableton. The screen pops back to track 1 becouse fader 1 is standardly mapped to track 1 by the nanokontrol 2 in ableton.

My question is how on earth I can stop this from happening, becouse it's realy anoying me. Especially when I use two faders simultaneously the screen keeps highlighting two tracks quickly after one another, almost giving me an epileptic seizure (offcourse this is highly exaggerated :wink: )

Please help

I used korg kontrol editor to make my own scene data and put the assign type to CC. Now I can assign just like I wanted without the whole highlighting business.

However the knobs are extremely sensitive. When turned left just a fraction the mapped knob or fader in ableton is allready on 0. When I push it a fraction to the right it's on the other far end of the spectrum. Meaning that when I push the knob completly to the left and then turn it only a quarter further I'm allready at the end.

I'd prefer left to be zero and right to be 127 and thats the way it's set up in de kontrol editor. But once in ableton it goes banana's and the buttons are completely useless

any help?

turned out that when you edit the CC amount of the buttons to range from 8 to 15 they work fine:)

However
Since I've also got a microKontrol conected to my computer. It seems some CC numbers are the same on the nanoKontrol and the microKontrol.
Which means when I map a certain fader/button/knob to a certain effect. It corresponds with faders/buttons/knobs from the nanoKontrol as well as my microkontrol. Now I don't have any extra buttons or faders dispite having two devices

Is there a way to get around this?
