ReMOTE SL users.... does this happen to you?

Hey,
When I assign one of the 8 velocity sensitive pads on my ReMote 25 SL controller to anything in Live 5.2, a strange thing happens. Firstly, when i click midi (or CTRL-M) to turn off midi mapping mode, a piano note (or notes, depending on how many pads i assigned) plays. then from there on, when I hit a pad, it does what i assigned it to do, plus it plays a piano note (it actually only happens every two times i hit a particular pad). At the simplest, I've boiled it down to happening in a new standard Live file, with the leftmost pad assigned to "track activator" (above solo button) on track 1 (audio).

Does this happen to anyone else?

The midi key assignment label that comes up on the screen when the pads are assigned is "1/C1" through "1/G1" depending on which pad, if this helps.

How can I stop this frustrating behaviour?
Thanks in advance!!

Perhaps...

I own a ReMOTE SL too.
I think your problem is that the Live automap has midi notes assigned to the drum-trigger pads. This makes good sense then your actualy playing "drums" on then but not for doing anything else IMHO.
You can change the template on the SL so that the drumpads will send control-change instead for notes...

Hope this helps...

anyway, have fun

Thanks a lot. That makes sense to me. I'll try it tonight.
Keep the dream alive,
