I'm late on just now learning what the pads and pad pages can do (Great Job Automix!). I'm doing some mapping on a Reloop Touch and would like to only use a pad page when a button is pressed then go back to the previous pad page once the button is released. Is there a way to recall the last pad page used?

My instinct says no but you may be able to store the current page name in a variable, then switch the page, then restore the prior one on lift-up. That button would most likely have to be a non-pad-button to work properly. Just guessing here though.

I tried all the sensible ways, I can't get the page name to save as a variable
set 'test' `get_pad_page_name`
set 'test' `pad_page`
If that can be done, then this works right now
get_var 'test' & param_cast 'text' & pad_page
however script is only suitable for a small fraction of cases because you can change pads in lots of ways, [button, dial, mouse, Apoi]
only sensible way would be a setting that makes note of the previous when pages are changed [like goto last folder does]
then we could call
pad_page previous
set 'test' `get_pad_page_name`
set 'test' `pad_page`

Thank you both for your feedback. Locodog, if you can't get it then it's not happening and thank you for trying. I'll keep working on it. 'pad_page_previous' would be a useful feature though.

there are many things to try and figure out with padpages, (it looks like work in progress and not fully finalized yet)
pad_page when used with specific "slot" is a toggle and act like a pad_page previous
pad_page_select select pads page
all this depends on independent pads pages
everything is relatively new and not already stable (currently change from ea build to ea build)
pad_page was previously used to select a pads page (list of pad pages)
it now 'hybrid' and better select page of pads pages (what i call slot, 4 by default depending on controller)
