MF Pro BM Glitches in Reason Production

So I love how the drum machine Kong and the Midi Fighter both have 16 pads, it's like they were meant to be together... except they don't work well together :cursing:

For some reason (no pun intended) when I use my MF Pro BM to play Kong pads, after a little while the buttons will start to do unwanted things, like turn the volume of pads down to zero in the middle of recording. All of the sudden, automation lanes will pop up to automate the volume of certain pads, which I don't want to happen at all.

I've tried setting up the MF as just standard and separate, to no avail.
This really interrupts my workflow and is incredibly annoying.

Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

I just tried Ableton mode as well... which seemed to make it even worse. Now in ableton mode some pads on Kong are defaulting to the decay setting of 0... unless I press another specific pad simultaneously, then the decay opens up. As soon as I let go of the pad, the pot for decay reverts back to 0, quickly cutting the sound out. Sounds awful.

Also have tried watching this DJTT video and made sure I set bass drum to C1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0h1ypaMMyA
... did not solve the problem

anyone?
