Topic: Sampler "grouping" not working BUG in new version of VDJ 2025
Hi, just noticed a bug, when I have my samples I also click on sampler editor and set some groups, because In some cases when I trigger next sample I want vdj to quick turn off previous sampler in the same group. Can u fix it?:) It worked on previous versions :) thanks!

it's working here. can you describe exactly what you did to get the sample group to not work?
 
Hi! Recorded a quick video

https://youtube.com/shorts/vlit5eRPxHo?si=3FRNa8lzVDlaEvBL

From 00:00-00:54 is the 2024 version
00:55-01:29 is the 2025 version

Yellow samples are in Group 1 - it means in 2024 version that when u trigger any sample in this Group another one will stop. White samples are not in any Group, so i can trigger them all in one time. In 2025 „grouping” option doesnt work :( hope i explain in clearly :)


Thank u virtual dj dam for doing SICK job developing the best software in the planet :)
 
Can't reproduce here either.
Can you post here the content of the Bank XML file (located in /Sampler folder) ?

will be fixed in the next build, coming soon
 
Thank u!
 
btw the bug happens only when you use groups on samples that are not loops.
(not sure why someone would use group on non-loops. but anyway fixed for next build)
 
I have some routines, when i have one song chopped every 1 beat and playing it live using sampler and ddj xp2. This option is usable when u hit next sample little too soon ☺️

monophonic keyboard play
 
On drum machines and "real" samplers, choke is used to (for example) cut off an open high hat sound when a closed high hat is played. Same thing.

I use a sample loop to play background music during a presentation then hit another sample in that group that is NOT a loop to apply and end stinger to it when I want a neat abrupt end.
Everyone is different and there are many ways to use the software that may not be your preference.
 
yes I understand. anyway it's been fixed and a new EarlyAccess build including this fix will be available today or tomorrow.
