Topic: Mode script issue

Questo argomento è obsoleto e potrebbe contenere informazioni obsolete o errate.

I am trying to set up the buttons 3, 4 and 5 on my RMX to perform different functions then usual when in EffectMode but its not working.

So far this is what i have:

cycle 'mode' 3 & var_equal 'mode' 1 ? show_text "Effects|Mode" : var_equal 'mode' 2 ? show_text "Video|Mode" : show_text "Normal|Mode"
(sets my scratch button as the mode changer)

BUTTON 3 - var_equal 'mode' 1 ? effect active : effect "BeatGrid" active

BUTTON 4 - var_equal 'mode' 1 ? effect select +1 : loop 8

BUTTON 5 - var_equal 'mode' 1 ? effect select -1 : loop_double

What am i doing wrong?

First of all, the RMX does not have text displays, so the show_text mappings are useless - Change the button mapping to the following:

cycle 'mode' 3

Then map the button's LED to show which mode it is in:

var_equal 'mode' 1 ? on : var_equal 'mode' 2 ? on blink : off

(The LED will be on in effects mode, flash in video mode and off in normal mode.)

Second, you have only mapped modes 1 (Effects) and 0 (Normal) in your above mappings, so when in mode 2 (Video), the buttons will do nothing.

Try:

BUTTON 3 -var_equal 'mode' 1 ? effect active : var_equal 'mode' 2 ? video_fx : effect "BeatGrid" active

BUTTON 4 -var_equal 'mode' 1 ? effect select +1 : var_equal 'mode' 2 ? video_fx_select +1 : loop 8

BUTTON 5 - var_equal 'mode' 1 ? effect select -1 : var_equal 'mode' 2 ? video_fx_select -1 : loop_double

NOTE: If you only want two modes, map the button to:

toggle 'mode'
 
Thanks for the reply. I havent mapped it for video mod because i havent decided yet what i want for it. Eventually i plan on adding mappings for that too.
Is not having a mapping for video mod affecting the functionality?

The other curious thing is that my LED works exactly as you described even without having the on blink : off in the script. Im guessing its built into the modes?
 
No, it doesn't matter if you miss out functions for a particular mode. It just means the button will do nothing in that mode.

Perhaps you already had the LED mapped this way? It's not default behaviour.
 
Turns out i indeed already had the LED mapped (forgot the button and LED have separate entries).

The button 3-4-5 mappings though still dont work. The Mode LED is on indicating effect mode but the buttons still act as they do in default mode.
 
Given that you already had the LED mapped, do you have more than one mapping for the same button?
 
No the LED was mapped specifically for the Mode function and the cycle mode script line is the only one used in the midi mapping for the button.
 
mate cant rember as its a long timesince i used my rmx.
but i thimk i mapped the buttons for effects ie beatgrid was in slot 7 and so ....effect-7-active-on -off something like that.
when i open my windows laptop up ill ckeck my mapper.
also you can do it with simple mapper...click add bouuton ..press button and add effect

That works for 1st layer mappings.
I already have that mapped.
What we are talking about here is having the button perform a different function depending on what Mode the software is in.
