MIDI foot controller problems in Ableton Live 7

I just picked up an old Yamaha MIDI foot controller that I wanted to use with Ableton, but whenever I try to map an Ableton control to any of the buttons, they all come up as "pitchbend" as if each button is sending the exact same midi message. Nothing happens when I press a button I mapped either, despite Ableton still seeing the activity and allowing it to be mapped.

Monitor controller/switcher options

Hi-

So I'm looking at upgrading my central control unit from a Beri mixer, and am looking for some advice.

the coleman M3PH MKII is pretty close, but at almost a grand, i'd want *exactly* what i want, not pretty close...
