If I put the sampler_play calls inside a <deck deck="6"> container, do I still need to specify in every sample button "deck 6 sampler_output" ? I'm trying to avoid trouble (one sample cutting off another) by separating the samples that could be played simultaneously to different decks...
By putting the sampler output through a deck, I also can have pfl and a volume slider for the sampler. Or is this outdated and can the sampler have pfl and a volume slider now?
This is what I have:
<deck deck="6">
<button action="holding ? sampler_play 'Audio/Carhorn.mp3' ? sampler_stop : nothing : deck 6 sampler_output & sampler_play_stutter 'Audio/Carhorn.mp3'">
</deck>
If I'm going about this in an unnecessary difficult way, please feel free to correct my vdjscripting...

Better avoid routing to Decks.
What is your Audio Setup ? Master & Headphones or Ext Mixer type (deck 1, deck 2 etc) ?
sampler_volume_master is adjusting the Master Output Vol of Sampler
setting 'samplerHeadphones' turns Sampler On/Off to Headphones (Sampler PFL)
So with Sampler Vol Master to zero, and the Setting to Yes, triggering a Sample will output to your Headphones but not to Master.
To stop another Sample when trigger the next, you need to put those into the same Sampler Group https://www.virtualdj.com/manuals/virtualdj/editors/sampleeditor.html

Thank you @DJDad for your info!
I'd already read the page you linked to. But I didn't know about the pfl possibility with the setting verb. So I'll not route the sampler over a deck then. Still, what I'm wondering is, where the sampler's output is going? If I don't specify a deck, I mean.
I use groups in my new skin, but I hadn't thought about the grouping possibility to separate samples. Great tip! Thanks.
My audio setup is master and headphones for the outputs and line in (wireless mic) for the input. I have an external soundcard (ESI U24 XL).

In the end I've assigned deck 6 to the sampler, not only to control volume and pfl, but also to be able to apply effects to the sound samples...
There's no need to specify a deck when using the "sampler_play" command because I've put "deck 6 sampler_output" in the onload (oninit) section. This was necessary because for some odd reason the sampler output settings in VDJ defaults to deck 1 for the sampler output each time I start the program...
Though, curiously, in the settings.xml it says: <samplerOutputDeck modified="yes">6</samplerOutputDeck>
Maybe it's a bug in the settings window to always show "1"?
