Reply to MPD 18 as Midi Fighter Help with Traktor

So I got the mpd18 working as a midi fighter but only on deck B. Whenever I select to use effects 1-4 on deck A, the numbers deselect themselves as soon as I hit a pad that corresponds to each effect number. I was wondering how I could get it working for deck A as well. I already assigned notes C2-D#3 for pads 1-16, just like the midi fighter, and I only wanted to use these two decks not all four. Thanks for any help!
