Ah sorry, you mean the sampler column. That one indeed still exists, but is indeed not available from script (and I don't think ever has)

But to see the position of the sample playing in the browser, the easiest would be to just use the Pos column?

no i don’t wont sampler column…i would time elapsed/remain about sample played in browser_window ‘songs’ (example: time remain if i play a sample in Recording folder)….i can’t use song_pos ‘remain’ because isn’t a song in a deck, is a sample played in browser_window ‘songs’

tested but sampler_position does not take name as implicit parameter and does not allow scripted name

as adion said it is not available from script

something a little strange with the sampler
with regard to the default sample, probably needs a video because it's ...off...



also sampler_ verbs don't seem to be able to cast to in any way, name or number, [didn't try path]

sampler_pad changes the focussed sample (the one that sampler_position etc will use when no index specified.
Starting a sample from the browser doesn't change the focussed sample though. (although perhaps it should)

but pad 1 wasn't in some cases, and from boot the browser does until some thing happens.
about a minute of button bashing and you'll see what I mean

no the script is dead currently (as many columns are not available anymore from script or to search)
and many virtual decks change behavior (deck 'sampler' is not a valid thing anymore) so using deck sampler get_loaded_song is not a workaround anymore

initially all columns were available for everything in every contexts, then progressively things were removed : columns, display, availability for some actions, in some context, selection only by script ... some were added too, but finally there still stay too few including many too incoherent ones under certain conditions, or just not reacheable

this are just limitations

i.e. order available in browsed songs as well as "will play at" and "message"
Pos available for samples but not readable, and not display in grid view
"will play at" available for history

and what is funny, everything still exist internally,
i.e. you can sort by bitrate but not select it in search but search by bitrate still possible via script
no "play time" in history which still display if it was selected before function was removed

Let me know when you find the build in which this was possible, as I'm pretty sure it never was.

yeah is correct!! but sampler_position why doesn’t work if a play a sample in browser_window ‘songs’ (samples are inside a Sampler bank that are in folder list)????

@Adion early versions up to 8.2 were far less limited (don't remember exactly, but I annotated later as "since one of the V8.2")

The list (which is totally obsoleted now) was finalized with build b42?? (was about to try to script columns in browser) and sporadically updated, specially with additions such as order(6525), singer writable, Title (remix) and other alias found (this are tries and error results, no official list may miss a lot)

but yes, you are totally right, some fields always been specific such as "From" "Mode" "Pos" so that not "all columns" but "all common columns" or "all non context specific columns"
it was an abusive term

This is the reason why the list was started
long way to create:
in every contexts choose selectable columns one by one and tag it as usable
in every contexts try every discovered columns one by one and mark those that also responding
then for every column try to remove spaces and shorten if possible and swap "Has" and "is" to detect shor aliases in the style of tooltips in translation file, not forgetting entries found in examples and skins

tested with get_browsed_song and browser_sort
7 * 121 * 2 = 1694 cells
with almost as many fails attempts

yes it took so me time

i have mapped: sampler_position 1 and param_invert & param_cast ‘percentage’
but can i convert this % in time remain about sample 1??

not really,
what about loop samples ? pitched samples ?

but with some hack retrieving needed info from various places :
browser_window sampler & browser_scroll top & browser_scroll 2 & browser_scroll -1 & param_multiply 'get_browsed_song length ms' 'sampler_position 2 & param_invert & param_mod 1' & param_cast

will return remain of playing sample in slot #2 or 0 if not playing
(took #2 in a way to see the 2 places where slot is needed

for slot #1 only a shorter script can apply - top being slot #1
browser_window sampler & browser_scroll top & param_multiply 'get_browsed_song length ms' 'sampler_position 1 & param_invert & param_mod 1' & param_cast & debug & get_browsed_song bpm & param_cast & debug & get_bpm & param_cast & debug


would need to take care about bpm too with pitched samples, but don't know how to get this info

trying to set color dynamically using 3 variables myred mygreen myblue (affected to a slider)

debug script:

set zero `get_text '0.0'` & set mycompositecolor 0 & param_add "get_text ' `get_var myred & param_equal 0 ? get_var zero` `get_var mygreen & param_equal 0 ? get_var zero` `get_var myblue & param_equal 0 ? get_var zero``' " "get_text '`color' " & param_cast text & debug & debug text & set mycompositecolor & param_cast & debug & debug set & & param_cast & get_text `get_var mycompositecolor` & param_cast text & color & debug & debug color

what is strange :
this is working correctly once only, and every time the script is modified
all other calls restore the first set of value ( does not apply variables anymore but reset color to initial one)
what is more strange:
set multiple buttons all will work but all buttons will have their own first value set as default, every button setting their own default color

in every case working or not, there is something to investigate with these working mode

'set' caches the action it uses, it is not really expecting an external parameter as action that is changing

OK, can get very strange things with that ;) , specially some int ==> HEX and color ==> int

for now the old " custom_button_name " hack can workaround the set being one shot
so that color can be set to things like that " get_text `custom_button_name 3 & param_cast text 9` & color "

Some time ago now, I requested that the sampler have assignable trigger modes to either individual pads or pages, rather than being a global setting - so that (for example) a page of video clips can be in on/off mode, but a page of cowbell samples can be in stutter mode.

Having to change mode manually when switching between different types of bank is tedious.

As it's not been implemented, I was wondering if such a thing could be scripted?

So the script would check to see which bank is loaded and change the trigger mode to suit.

I do not see any elegant way

problem is bank --> mode association

if for example it is a tag in first sample (user field or alike) detection can be done using browsed_song and mode set using sample_mode
would needs a rsi lookin for bank change or custom skin with dedicated "is_using" sampler script for instance in some multibutton

badly this solution changes browser window and focus to sampler first sample
maybe assigning a color to a mode could be a solution ?

hi! i have malped a button: get_browsed_folder & param_equal ‘Recordings’ ? browser_window ‘songs’ & browsed_title ‘Sequencer8’ ? get_text ‘full’ : get_text ‘Ready’
but with this script i have text ‘full’ only if i have in browser_window ‘songs’ focus on ‘Sequencer8’ track, i would that check in Folder ‘Recordings’ there is a ‘Sequencer8’ track or sample, and if there is…..get_text ‘full’, indipendently where is focus….can you help me?

Independent on focus : NO
with focus out of Recordings and Sequencer8 : Yes, with the help of a filter but focus will move too

try a filter folder in the style of
File Path ends with \Sampler\Recordings\ and (Title is Sequencer8 or File Name starts with Sequencer8)

and name it " Sequencer8 "

then in script
browser_gotofolder 'filters://Sequencer8.vdjfolder' & repeat_start rswt 100ms -1 & get_text "`get_status`" & param_contains 'Searching' ? : repeat_stop rswt & file_count & param_cast & debug & param_equal 0 ? goto_last_folder & get_text Ready : goto_last_folder & get_text Full
