Topic: How to set MAP so that a button can have multiple parameters/commands at the same time?
I have a button - B1, I want to switch PAD 1-4 to PAD 5-8 when single clicked, and long press B1 and then press PAD 1-4 to switch PADs MODE (HOTCUE/LOOP/STEMS....).

Now I have a problem that I can't execute two parameters on one button. Does anyone know how to solve it?
1. Use toggle 'padsB' command to switch PAD 5-8
2. Use down ? set 'mode' on : set 'mode' off to switch PADs MODE (HOTCUE/LOOP/STEMS....)

Knowing what controller you are using would be useful.
 
I only know that its model is MIDI28, a common MIDI controller. I am trying to define new functions for it so that it can perform more complex operations, but I know how to write the functions described in the topic, can you help me complete it?
 
your button 
toggle 'padsB' & down ? set 'mode' 1 : set 'mode' 0

1st pad
var mode 0 ? var padsB 0 ? pad 1 : pad 5 : var padsB 0 ? pad_page 'hotcues' : pad_page 'saved loops'
 
Thanks for your help!

I tried it but it didn't work properly, the operation settings for both buttons were pad 1 worked, the other parameters didn't work. Can you check it again?
 
hold it down and press pad
 
Yes, no matter I hold down button B1 + pad 1 or both buttons pressed individually, only pad 1 works. I also tried restarting VDJ, but the result is still the same.
 
Come on... 1 + 1
if it works for pad 1 then use logic and apply it to the other pads.
 
Sorry, you are correct, it was my MAP that was wrong. I re-edited the MAP and it works fine. Thank you so much for all your help!

Also, when I use the button B1+PAD 1 to switch, it only switches one PADs MODE. Is there a way to set it so that pressing it once switches MODE1, the second time MODE2, the third time MODE1, and so on?
 
b1 press toggles top function and bottom function, b1 hold + pad button swaps pad page

b1 press + b1 hold + pad press
b1 hold + pad press
should give different results.
 
Hi LOCODOG,

I've gotten technical support through other platforms and the issue has been perfectly resolved, but I'd still appreciate your help. -:) Thanks again! Hope you have a great weekend!
