Wish to have a script that could be added to the KeyBoard: ONSONGLOAD mapping to automatically load the track in stems_split mode.
It appears that one needs to be careful, since the process of creating the "split stem" on the lower deck is also a seen as another Song Load.. so easy to create in infinite loop, or unsplit the track w the second song-load.
scripts that have no joy, are: (just attempting half the script for deck 1)
wait 2000ms & stems_split
deck 1 load_pulse ? nothing : deck 1 stems_split
deck 1 ? deck 1 stems_split : nothing
action_deck 1 ? deck 1 stems_split : nothing
deck 1 loaded ? wait 2000ms & deck 1 stems_split : nothing
deck 1 stems_split ? nothing : deck 1 stems_split
.
.
etc
maybe use load_pulse to toggle a variable, wait.. then do the stems_split ? Need some help.
the trick is to allow the initial song-load to initiate the stems_split.... and then to stop the loading of the "split" from repeating the same action.
And trying hard NOT to HANG VDJ.
Any help, suggestions appreciated :)
is this possible?
am I overlooking maybe a built in feature that would do this?
Thanks for the help :)

why not query the deck
param_bigger `get_deck` 3 ? nothing : do the thing
param_bigger `get_deck` 3 ? nothing : do the thing

Awesome idea locodog.. a much better way to approach the scripting.. many thanks for your amazing insight.
for some reason param_bigger `get_deck` 3 ? nothing : deck 1 stems_split did not work as expected and would hang VDJ if a track was loaded to deck 3.
and seems with your approach.. that something like:
param_equal `get_deck` 1 ? wait 1000ms & deck 1 stems_split : nothing
works for deck 1..
so seems it may be possible after all, woot !
making progress !
Again many thanks !

param_bigger with 3 would only be true for deck 4, so probably want to check bigger than 2

my mistake,
I'm getting weirdness that it needs a wait in there, without the wait my variable toggles but I don't get a clone
param_bigger `get_deck` 3 ? wait 100ms & stems_split & toggle $proof :

Thanks Adion .. have not tried that.
And thanks Locodog for the amazing idea !
Have got a script now that works, posting in case it's of interest to others:
the above script would be added to the keyboard ONSONGLOAD mapping.
and one would need an additional custom button/skin button/controller button with script:
which just turns ON or OFF the "Split Stems auto-loading" feature.
Additional behavior:
If one adds a track to the lower decks (3 or 4) then the split stems mode ends for the track on the upper deck, so a lower deck track can be played if wanted.
(and loading a track to upper deck, say deck 1, a playing track on deck 3 is NOT interrupted with a split stems load attempt, so the stems_split for deck 1 will NOT occur if deck 3 is audible, and playing another track, [when this feature is enabled].)
All seems to work well.
------------
Note: if using a controller button, then great to have LED feedback if the feature is enabled, w something like this for the LED Mapping:

why deck specific?
var '$LoadSplitStems' 1 ? param_bigger `get_deck` 3 ? wait 1ms & stems_split : nothing : nothing
is 3 bigger than calling deck ? yes, split it
var '$LoadSplitStems' 1 ? param_bigger `get_deck` 3 ? wait 1ms & stems_split : nothing : nothing
is 3 bigger than calling deck ? yes, split it

Wow Locodog .. once again... a clever script..
yes that would work perfectly and, with fewer queries..
Thanks :)
PS
did not test the minimum wait time for script to work.. .. wow 1ms, is all that is required.
Again thanks.
