Kontrol D2 MIDI mode / control buttons inside of Ableton

Kontrol D2 MIDI mode / control buttons inside of Ableton

Hello DJTT crew,

although I’m following DJTT for years now, this is the first time I ever write a post myself.

I’m facing a huge problem with MIDI mapping and I really hope you guys can help me:

I’m running both Traktor and Ableton on the same machine using 2x Kontrol D2 for MIDI control.
Ableton is used for send/return effects as well as a host for NI Maschine.

Like described in this article, I want to use the D2s in MIDI mode to control effects inside of Ableton:

This works perfectly well for Faders and Knobs, but for buttons I’m facing this problem:
They always need to be triggered twice before something happens, which is not usefull in any way.

Although I’ve tried nearly everything I can imagine, I just can’t find a way to work around this problem.
Already tried the same thing for a receive mapping in Traktor only and here it works just fine.

Is there any point I’m missing? Or some way to fix this?

Really hope you guys can help me here…
Many thanks in advance!

I believe that setting button “Gate” mode in the utility would solve this problem.
