Topic: VDJscript for swtiching decks

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi. I figured this would be something pretty simple to do, but I just can't figure it out. I'm on an Akai MPK Mini using VDJ6 and I'd like to set one of the pads to switch the active deck. So far, I have this as the action:

action_deck 1 ? deck 2 select : deck 1 select

It works if I have my pad set to 'toggle' (in Akai's software), but not if the pad is set to 'momentary'. This is the case with anything I try to do with the pads. For example, if I set one of the pads to pause, it will only pause for as long as I hold it down, unless I change the pad setting to 'toggle'.

Is there any way I can make the pad toggle between the two decks while keeping the pad set to 'momentary'?

Anyone?
 
Is there an option from Akai to make a certain pad as toggle and several other as momentary? I'm afraid that the above code will work only in toggle mode.

In my opinion you should choose the toggle mode, and in case you need some momentary actions like trigger sampler as the button is held down, you should use VDJ script actions like
sampler 1 play_stop while_pressed
 
Thanks. Yeah, there are individual options for pads. However, it's only for the pads themselves and not CC numbers.
