Hi
Im in the process of creating my first skin and id just like to ask a question about sample slots.
ive got 6 effect slots on each deck and the text for each button is obviously %effectslot1 , %effectslot2 and so on....
now ive got 12 sampler buttons and although i can map them buttons for the different samples, i cannot get the text to show, only text string i could find is %mainsample .
could someone please clarify for me that my way cannot be done to have all 12 sample slots on the screen with text showing you each sample.
i already made a button for each in the bmp :( might have to change it :(
thanks
PJay

This is the code i used when i did a skin for V5.
<button pannel="11" action="effect_slot_activate" chan="1" value="1">
<size width="97" height="22"/>
<pos x="269" y="257"/>
<down x="269" y="1056"/>
<selected x="269" y="1056"/>
<text dx="6" dy="3" width="63" font="Geneva" size="12" color="#FF8000" align="center" format="%effectslot1" scroll="yes"/>
</button>
Now i havent had much time for skinning since V6 was released, so not 100% how the code would read now - but i think it would be something like this.
FOR SLOT 1
<button action="effect active 1" chan="1">
<size width="97" height="22"/>
<pos x="269" y="257"/>
<down x="269" y="1056"/>
<selected x="269" y="1056"/>
<text dx="6" dy="3" width="63" font="Geneva" size="12" color="#FF8000" align="center" format="%effectslot1" scroll="yes"/>
</button>
.........
FOR SLOT 12
<button action="effect active 12" chan="1">
<size width="97" height="22"/>
<pos x="269" y="257"/>
<down x="269" y="1056"/>
<selected x="269" y="1056"/>
<text dx="6" dy="3" width="63" font="Geneva" size="12" color="#FF8000" align="center" format="%effectslot12" scroll="yes"/>
</button>
Please note i havent tested this and if anyone wants to correct me - please do.

Hi
Thanks for the reply, however, its not the effects slots that im having trouble with. it is infact the sample slots.
Im not sure it can be done with multiple sample slots so i think i might have to re think the design
Thanks anyway

Unfortunately there is not similar code for the samples. You can only show the active one. Download my skin http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/8736/DMC2_ft_KORG_NanoPad_.html to see what i have done.
We have asked this feature from the Dev Team. We hope that they will fix it.

As djdad has said - this is currently not possible.
