M-Audio X-Session Pro/Live 6 MIDI Mapping -- Switches?

I'm using an M-Audio X-Session Pro to DJ with Ableton Live. I use the default X-Session Pro mapping, for simplicity's sake, and map all the knobs and sliders. Works fantastic EXCEPT for one thing:

The buttons on the X-Session require me to hit the button twice for Ableton to act on them. Looking at the output of the X-Session with MIDI-OX, what the controller sends is 64 for 'On' and zero for 'Off'

I don't see anything in the Ableton Live Help about how to tell Live not to require me to press the buttons twice. Anyone else solved this problem?

This is probably because the button is a switch meaning that you press it once its sends an "on" (max=127) then you press it again and it will sent an "off" (min=0). Live doesnt like this typically, so you'll want to change this in M-Audio's Enigma. You want to set the MIN and the MAX for the button to 127; this should fix the problem.

Can Enigma do this? The fix that's supposedly going int o 6.08, which lets you set controller min/max, would fix the problem, but I can't find how to set the ranges in the Live MIDI mapping mode.
