Midi pickup incomplete feature?

Hi everyone!
I was hoping to take a full advantage of midi controllers 'pick-up' feature but...
It seems to be working only once at the beginning or after I use mouse. But my main idea was to assign all knobs on my UC-33 controller to channel 1 in preset 1 and to channel 2 in preset 2 and so on. Then I could assign all channel 1 knobs to tracks controls, all channel 2 knobs to different devices controls etc. But once a controller is picked up, pickup feature does not work anymore (unless mouse was used). I mean if I set for example Send A level to maximum by turning one knob ot the right, then change UC-33 preset and change a pan turning the same knob to the left and then go back to previous preset and touch that knob - Send A level jumps to the current knob position without pick-up. So I am not sure is it a bug or feature not well thought thru or I myself doing something wrong? Anyway, it would be great if controllers could be picked up continuously.

Hi,
I'm having the exact same problem. I've been talking to ableton trying to get to the bottom of this, but I can't get a clear answer on whether what we are trying to do is something that can be done or if it's not designed to work this way. Have you found anything out?
