i figured it might be. i've run across a few controllers like this [left/right shift assigned globally as opposed to per deck]. hercules djc mk4 was one iirc.

w00t! after much frustration [editor w/ debugger please, atomix!] and a couple of false starts, i now have a better understanding of vdj script and a working framework for 10 grid layers. i'll add the held shift layer(s) 11+ last, but first to customizing the individual buttons in the grids...
thanks to all for the inspiration and help.

imo a better way for the cbg-edit:
deck left play ? deck left pitch_bend +2% 500ms : var '$shift' ?adjust cbg +0.01 : adjust_cbg +1
deck left play ? deck left pitch_bend -2% 500ms : var '$shift' ?adjust cbg -0.01 : adjust_cbg -1
cause no one push these buttons if the deck is paused...

sorry for little bug:
deck left play ? deck left pitch_bend -2% 500ms : var '$shift' ? deck left adjust_cbg -0.01 : deck left adjust_cbg -1

@jboerlage: sounds frustrating. latency is going to be the biggest issue imho. especially if trying to trigger notes or drop loops on beat.
i have to play a set tomorrow night so i am scrambling to get a basic mapping finished in time. getting close. so far:
1) left/right fx areas at top mapped to three banks of multifx [lft/rgt] dials in two slots using the pitch bend buttons to cycle through. want to make the endless encoder a dial to rotate through the time buttons on the pioneer style effects, but that's a project for another day. for now, i have it mapped to volume 100%/0% on the left deck in this mode. will likely add more layers later too.
this area also can be left in default mode with 3 dials and 3 buttons for the active fx slot [triggered from grid].
2) 11 layers x 8 button grid [slicers/beatmashers, 4 pages of fx triggers, cues, etc]. leds need work. also, need some good fx mappings similar to traktor instant grats for these layers. also, not idiot proof yet... =)
3) filters are dual purpose triggered using the fx buttons below. left button is low/high filter and right is dual fx [crusher + ?]. haven't decided yet. with both buttons in off state, you can turn the dial freely and not affect anything.
still lots to do, but should be good enough for tomorrow. fingers crossed. bringing backup controller anyway...

Yeah very much interested in seeing how the latency works out.. It might be just ok :P
Good luck!!

tested it this afternoon. mapping is solid enough to play live with i think. going to keep some sheets handy for fx mappings. so many buttons...

quick report [will post more later]:
400 is awesome. produced very rich sound. no drops or crackles. need to replace the default filter: too much resonance and volume cut is too aggressive. can't wait to play with the mapping some more.

ok. i've been banging my head against this for a too long... i have the small grid buttons working with proper led states by page/layer + shift on/off, but i am unable to get the main pad leds working in the same way. code looks like it should work to me [fx in the code are placeholders at this point and haven't been tweaked out at all]. do you guys see anything i am missing? help! =)

i should add that the pad code works and acivates the effects/buttons as expected and taht i stripped down the led code to make sure the togggles were working and they were. any other vars are set/used elsewhere and are working fine with other code [eg small grid button leds].

Maybe something for you:
Do a little scratch ;o)

var '$My_scratch' 0 ? set '$My_scratch' 1 : set '$My_scratch' 0
or

Jog:
