Hello everyone! I just wondering, is it possible to get 32 pad button by using "shift"? I have ddj rr and it has 16 pads. 8 extra i can get with "shift" button, but it works for both decks. For example: i can play 1-8 samples on the left deck, 9-16 for right, and the same 17-24 for both with "shift" button, but I need 17-24 for left and 25-32 for right. Any ideas how to get it?

There's a automatic system that shares the sampler pads between the decks, so this advice might be a long way round of doing it. I can't check just now.
And it depends on your play settings (on/off, holding, etc)
if just on/off
I'd write my own sample pad with a script like this for a normal pad 1
device_side "left" ? sampler_pad 1 "auto" : sampler_pad 9 "auto"
if l left play 1: if right play 9
for the pad name
`device_side "left" ? get_sampler_name 1 "auto" : get_sampler_name 9 "auto"`
and for shift pad 1
device_side "left" ? sampler_pad 17 "auto" : sampler_pad 25 "auto"
Like I said this might not be the best way, but it's a way.

I know it's not a solution, but it can be more practical to buy a launchpad, and so have all 64 pads at hand, I buy a mini launchpad

Thank you very much for helping, i'll try this script tomorrow morning. I've been shure VDJ can do anything you want))

You could also use this Pad page http://www.virtualdj.com/plugins/index.html?addonid=80757 and use Parameter 2 button on your Controller to switch between Samples 1-8, 9-16

I've checked id, but infortunatelly it doesn't work at all, nothing happens when i press shift+pad. Maybe i missed something...

Sorry, but i don't understand how it works?

And with the script, pads without shift doesn't work too

@campig "I know it's not a solution, but it can be more practical to buy a launchpad, and so have all 64 pads at hand, I buy a mini launchpad"
I like the Akai APC mini due to its multiple faders which I can use to control the sampler group volumes and the master sampler volume. This is selling for £53. I've mapped the pads to this controller plus a lot of other stuff. The default mapping is poor but you can have mine if you want. This might be a cue to Atomix to update its mapping.
Note: While working I only normally use 3 faders and control the kick drum (plus something or other), high hat (or something like) and master sampler volume. It is of interest that the number of samples I use has now been reduced due to shaders and video skins so that they are now more manageable. I don't now need sampler visualizations.

I got it!!! There is just a simple mistake. Not "sample" but "sampler"
So it should be: device_side "left" ? sampler_pad 1 "auto" : sampler_pad 9 "auto"
Etc.
It works perfect now. Thanks alot for helping!!!
