Hi,
I want to assign the effects and the samples in VDJ to the buttons on my Korg Nano Kontrol.
I've managed assigning three effects to three buttons but when I try assigning the fourth one nothing happens. Right now it looks like this:
effect 1 active toggle
effect 2 active toggle
effect 3 active toggle
but when i type "effect 4 active toggle" (or 5, 6, 7 etc) nothing happens when i push the assigned button on the Nano Kontrol.
However, I've managed to assign all samples to different buttons on my Nano Kontrol but the problem here is that I can't adjust the volume of the played sample if I don't select it in the sample list. I want to be able to press a button on my Nano Kontrol to play a sample and then adjust the sample volume without selecting the sample in the sample list.
Another problem is that I can't manage to get "active toggle" on the samples as I have on the effects. I want to be able to start the sample by clicking the assigned button on my Nano Kontrol and stop it by clicking it again. This is how it looks right now:
sampler 1 play_stop
sampler 2 play_stop
sampler 3 play_stop
etc, etc,
It doesn't work if i type "sampler 1 active toggle".
My questions are therefore:
How can I assign _all_ the effects to different buttons on my Nano Kontrol?
How can I adjust the sample volume without selecting it in the sample list and how can I get "active toggle" on the samples?

you need to have more than 3 sampler slots loaded to use the script you have, and I am not sure "effect 1 active toggle" will work... you should just be using "effect 1 active" or you could use "effect 'effect_name' active" if you want a pad to activate a specific effect. you also need to assign the buttons to a specific deck so as an example of everything you will need
deck 1 effect "loopout" active
"sampler 1 play_stop" is what the script should be, it will make the sample play on the first press and stop on the second, i'm not sure where you got "active toggle" from but it is not correct
check the wiki for further details

Thank you for answering,
If I type "deck 1 effect 1 active" for example, nothing happens when I press the assigned button. If I type "toggle" after active it works in the same way as "play while_pressed" does. It's the only script I've managed to get the effects to sound at all with my Nano Kontrol. Play, play_stop etc etc doesn't work.
"sampler 1 play_stop" is what the script is now but the problem is that it works as "play while_pressed" instead of "play_stop".
It seems to be the Nano Kontrol buttons that are a bit strange. I have no troubles assigning buttons on my keyboard but when I try the same script on the Nano Kontrol it doesn't work...

maybe you have them set on aftertouch check the manual to see if there is an option to change it...
to test if you have aftertouch on try this
deck 1 effect slider 1 & param_greater 0% ? deck 1 effect active on : deck 1 effect active off
it should activate the effect and change the slider with the pressure on the pad

I solved the problem with the Korg Kontrol Editor. I set all the buttons to "Toggle" which was described as a "play_stop" function in the manual.
The only question remaining now is:
How can I adjust the sample volume without selecting it in the sample list?
Right now I have assigned a knob to the sampler volume and different buttons to the samples. But when I play a sample that isn't selected in the sample list I can't change it's volume with the knob. It only changes the volume of the sample selected in the sample list.
"deck 1 sampler volume" (assigned to a knob on the Nano Kontrol)
"deck 1 sampler 1 play_stop" (assigned to a button on the Nano Kontrol)
"deck 1 sampler 2 play_stop"
"deck 1 sampler 3 play_stop"
etc, etc
How can I make the sampler volume change the volume on all the samples, not just the one selected in the sample list?

you can string commands together with "&" eg
sampler 1 volume & sampler 2 volume & sampler 3 volume & sampler 4 volume & sampler 5 volume & etc...
then map it all to the knob
sampler 1 volume & sampler 2 volume & sampler 3 volume & sampler 4 volume & sampler 5 volume & etc...
then map it all to the knob
