There was a post on Facebook from a user whom would like to see the Sync button flash to the beat. Based on what I know about the mapping, it seems plausible.
Any quick script action that is known to do this?
Thanks!

If you want a LED to blink on beat, even on silent parts (so, following the beatgird), you need something like..
get_beatpos & param_mod 1 & param_smaller 0.25 ? on : off
get_beatpos & param_mod 1 & param_smaller 0.25 ? on : off

When seeing script strings like this, it would be nice to know exactly what each part of it is doing. What does it mean and why does it need to be there?
In other words, translate it from VDJ Script into English. :-)

Ha ha. I know.
I modified some script for LEDs on my SX2 to get it to do what I wanted. I have no idea what It meant but it worked after about 30 minutes of changing this and that.
The VDJ script is very powerful but really needs a "wizard" rather than just typing it in freehand.
Apart from Babis, George & Loco pretty much no-one else really has a clue to the true strength of it or what most of it means.

get_beatpos & param_mod 1 & param_smaller 0.25 ? on : off
the above script will turn the LED on if all 3 actions return true (actually the combined result) and off if false.
get_beatpos returns the position of the beatgrid as decimal... So it returns 4.0 when the track is exactly at the 4th beat, 4.5 if its halfway between 4th and 5th beat etc.
param_mod 1 gets rid of the integer part so you always get 0.0 , 0.1, 0.2.... 0.9 0.99
param_smaller 0.25 means that its true if the previous value is less than 0.25
So combining all 3 of them you get the LED turned on if the beat position is from 0.0 (on beat) till 0.25 (25% far away from the beat comparing to the position of the next one) and off in all other positions
Hope my English is as good as my scripts ;)

Wow, thanks for the explanation. Really helps!

Use "get_beat" instead of "get_beatpos... " command for the auto mode of the Numark Party Mix for some near perfect results. Only issue with the get_beat is that I don't know how to increase its sensitivity just slightly so that it strobes on buildups instead of slowing down from the lack of bass before the drop.
