I have solved this problem, and it works differently on different controllers. But I have a way so that you can double press and it stays on shift and an led will let you know when shift is active, and u hold it down and its reset, do u want the script

i didn't notice the rest, but i have a whole script variation for shift, as i noticed some buttons are on off buttons and some don't react like that, my launch control has different buttons and they can be altered, but it means you have to add another script to the button as when shift is active the script is not active now

It's always interesting to have other points of view, so that scripts are always welcome
I thought I posted a "global" shift lock (not per deck) because button state is affected by the deck the repeat loop is running on
shift key disables lock too
as explain, buttons reflect the state of the first action / query
if it look inverted, free to invert result too
(and swap actions it this was a test)
test ? action A : action B
not test ? action B : Action A
will do the same with inverted button state

Hello, here is another little task I´m stucked on:
Want a button with two functions:
1. short press: start and stop the sampler (sample_pad 1)
2. long hold: Set a "Var" for volume change of this sampler without starting or stoping it.
(Holding this button is like a shift, so that a slider can control the volume of this sampler, but just as long You are holding the button)
Aim is to controll volume of different samplers with just one Slider. Holding the specific Button of the specific Sampler makes the Slider react just for this sampler volume (Variables "$s1v" "s2v" "s3v"...)
Now I have a Interim solution: It toggles the volume-change by double clicking on the button, while short pressing starts and stops the sampler:
Problem 1: because of the waiting for the double click the sample starts 200 ms too late
Problem 2: If I forget to toggle it back and choosing another sampler, sampler 1 will be changing the volume too - unwanted.
Thats why a holding-down-solution would be much better...
But anyhow the "sampler_pad 1" command seems to not work in some strings...
So does anybody know, how to SHORT = sample_pad 1 LONG = set "$s1v" 1 than RELEASE = set "$s1v" 0
By the way: sampler 1 start/stop can´t be used, because only with sampler_pad 1
my samples stay in sync when started by external controller... (don´t ask me why)
Thanks a lot in advance

there's this action
holding
Individual vars feels like the wrong way to go, use one var with different values, even less work would be use no vars and use sampler_select, of course it all matters to exactly what you're doing if it is the best approach.
set '$myVar' 5 while_pressed & holding 200ms ? : sampler_play_stop 5
sampler_select 5 & holding 200ms ? : sampler_play_stop

Partial success!
[set '$myVar' 5 while_pressed & holding 200ms ? : ] works fine
[sampler_play_stop 1] still needs to be replaced.
As I mentioned earlier, the sampler should run synchronously with all decks that will be set as masterdeck. From my external controller (Launchpad) this only works via command [sampler_pad1]
If I use [sampler_play...] there is no sync or sync is lost after a Crossfade and set new masterdeck. (Sample Editor is of course set to sync lock or sync start)
[sampler_pad] doesn‘t work behind the Colon.
Is there a [sampler 1 play & sync with all decks command?
Or what else could I do?

After a looong time fighting with VDJScript here is a working one:
deck master up ? set '$s1v' 0 & repeat_start myrep ? sampler_play_stop 1 & repeat_stop myrep : : repeat_start myrep 200ms 1 & set '$s1v' 1
tested deck master to try to sync sampler_play_stop
if not , free to use sampler_pad instead

Thank You NICOTUX! Great! It´s such a good feeling, that someone solves my problem while I´m sleeping...
Now the (12) Samplerbuttons work fine as honey! I decided for the easiest way.
Each Button has following code:
Sampler_play_stop X and sampler_select X are from 1-12.
'$sv' is the variable for SamplerVolume and the (only one) Slider has following code:
that´s it :-) AND EVERYTHING IS IN SYNC TILL ETERNITY ;-)
Whenever I hold a sampler button I can adjust the volume on my slider.
(And use the other sliders for other tasks)
THANK YOU AGAIN!

And now the big question (it´s the script-shool):
Could You please explain Your code? So that You can sleep in the future and I help myself.
[deck master up ? set '$s1v' 0 & repeat_start myrep ? sampler_play_stop 1 & repeat_stop myrep : : repeat_start myrep 200ms 1 & set '$s1v' 1]
1.) Untill now I never understood the repeat_start/stop syntax really
2.) Two times Colon... is [ : : ] the same as [ : nothing : ] ?
3.) How [deck master up ? ] brings all my samplers stay in sync even when I change masterdeck...?
Thank You again (and again and again...)

3 ? there is no 3 ^^
deck master .... selects the master deck ... you can change masterdeck, it's always the master one
(depending on actions ... "master" refers to either "master channel" deck or "master tempo" deck)
trials and errors ... :\
up ? UP_ACTION : NOT_UP_ACTION
what keep samples in sync is ... early activation of sample (more or less the press duration)
I have a little multitouchscreen pad page so that already needed some kind of same scripts

there isn't a delete file script, I don't think there ever will be.
I use a specific colour to mark a file I want to delete, and I have filter for that colour so I can batch delete easily.

Hi, again a syntax question:
Is it possible to use a VAR with BEATJUMP?
I have set a var "$BJB" to 1,2,4,8...
But [beatjump var "$BJB"] doesn´t work.
And how can I do a negative beatjump with this VAR?
[beatjump var "$BJB" & param_invert] ?
Thanks for Your help

Now I have a problem with my endless encoders on Akai APC 40 mk2:
I use them to control eq: [deck left eq_high]
When I reset the eq by [deck left eq_high 50%] sometimes the controller sends a zero before the turning data.
This sets the eq to zero and I have to turn more to come to the middle.
In settings I choosed "soft takeover gradual" because of the sliders used for some volumecontrols.
How can I avoid the unwanted zeroing?
Thanks in advance
