Topic: Denon MC4000 Custom Mapping the Sampler Buttons
Wondering if some can help me out here... I'm experiencing a weird behavior when custom mapping the 4 dedicated Sampler Buttons on the controller.

The button layout is in a quad configuration:
SAMPLER_BUT1 | SAMPLER_BUT2
SAMPLER_BUT3 | SAMPLER_BUT4

I've mapped each button with the following:

SAMPLER_BUT1
stem_pad "Acapella"
SAMPLER_BUT2
stem_pad "Acapella"
SAMPLER_BUT3
stem_pad "Instrumental"
SAMPLER_BUT4
stem_pad "Instrumental"

However, whether I press SAMPLER_BUT1 or SAMPLER_BUT2 it turns on Acapella on the right deck, and the left deck is never affected. The same is true for SAMPLER_BUT3 or SAMPLER_BUT4 it turns on Instrumental on the right deck, and the left deck is never affected.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Those buttons are not associated with a deck, so the implied deck it will act on is the default/selected deck, pressing tab key will switch the selected deck.

I suppose you 'll need to add deck in front of the action , like..
deck 1 stem_pad 'Acapella'
deck 2 stem_pad 'Acapella'

Thank you by explicitly addressing the decks worked! I had tried some variations with no luck like "deck_select" but obviously that was not the right command to use. Cheers, DJR

Thank you for the tip, I did not realize that non-associated buttons would act solely on the focused deck. Cheers, DJR

Gents I'm now trying to incorporate the blinking of each Sampler pad when my action is activated and I 've tried so many things and nothing seems to work. I know this console has a key named LED_SAMPLE_BUT1 but I don't understand how to incorporate this with the SAMPLE_BU1 where my command is.

This is where I have landed so far but this does not work.

KEY: SAMPLE_BU1
ACTION: deck 1 stem_pad "Acapella" : blink 400ms : on : off

Any guidance is greatly appreciated, DJR

Thanks for the quick reply! that doesn't work it doesn't invoke Acapella or the LED blink.
