Midi channel changes when i turn a knob?

Ok, here is what i am trying to do:
I have mapped a knob from a nrpn with the min/max set to 1193 from channel 10 to event type ctrl 1 on channel 1 and the second min/max values set to 0-127 both places...
When i am trying to map a knob on my korg emx in ableton this happen:
at first it maps alright looking like this midichannel 1/controller 1,
but when i turn the knob the values suddenly changes to 10/6(channel 10/ controller number 6)?
This is driving me nuts! any hints on what i could have done wrong?
Cheers
Bjorn

Yeah, NRPN's, when handled as NRPN's are treated somewhat differently than normal MIDI Messages. From the help file:
"When you choose NRPN as event type, the number and value fields have greater range than normal MIDI values. NRPN numbers and values are represented by 14 bit quantities: 0 - 16383 decimal. This is because 2 MIDI bytes (MSB and LSB) are used to formulate the number. When only MSB is transmitted, the magnitude of the value is similar (0 - 16256), but the granularity is not as fine."
Controller 6 (Data Entry) is the MSB of the CC:6 - CC:38 pair, so you need to map the whole range: 0 - 16256 (or 16383 if you're using CC:38) to 0 -127.
The other thing that looks weird in your picture is that subsequesnt mapping steps on the right are colored blue, which usually means that you've checked "[x] Use Input Value 1 (Pull)". That doesn't make any sense for NRPN's -- uncheck them.
