Well i'm using a Korg Nanopad to control my Samples, Effects and others. Since the Korg has no leds for the buttons, i look at the screen and i see only the active Sample or Fx. But sometimes 2 or more Fxs or samples are active and i need to go to Effects Browser section to take a look at which Fx is on and which is not. So i figured it out to modify the skin i use, looking like the picture below..



So i need a liitle help with some xml lines. Is there a way to...
1. Display the all 12 Samples iside the boxes and not just the active? like textzone or something..
2. Display a specific effect inside a box, and behave like button?
3. Command for the load and rec sample?

Appreciate for any help or ideas.

Update


As you can see i'm quite near..

1st Problem.
I can not display the 12 names of the samples. The action "%maineffect" shows me allways the "siren", the active sample on all the 12 panels. I have seen the action "get sample_name" but i haven't found any syntax or an example anywhere.

2nd Problem
As you may see in the screen above, several Fxs may be active but on my screen there is only one selected. I have used the followed code..
Quote :
<button action="effect_activate" value="flanger" chan="1" rightclick="temporary">
<pos x="7" y="345"></pos>
<size width="136" height="23"></size>
<selected x="5" y="2885"></selected>
<text dx="4" dy="4" width="124" font="Verdana" size="12" color="#FFFFFF" weight="bold" align="center" format="flanger" scroll="yes"></text>
</button>


Can anyone help me with these?
Thanks

Are you making the skin for VDJ v6 or v5?

For activating an effect you should use:
action="deck 1 effect 'flanger' active"

or

action="deck 1 effect 1 active" (activate the effect 1)
and
action="deck 1 effect 1 select" (select the effect 1)

What about the samples?

[Edit].. It's for Ver 5..sorry i thought something else...

Still nothing is solved. Several Fxs may be active at the same time but only one is showing selected by the skin.
