On my vsm4.1 i have 8 cue points programmed onto the midi. To do this i had to trade out the cue point delete buttons. I am trying to figure out a way to delete cue points without clicking on the audio wave beacuse sometimes this stops this stops the song. I was thinking make a second shift button with the cue or something.
thanks
thanks

Scenario 1.
holding 500ms ? delete_cue 1 : hot_cue 1
If you hold down the button for more than 500ms, it will delete cue 1, BUT you will have a small latency on your hotcues, as they will work on release.
Scenario 2.
Assign a second button as shiftNo2
Scenario 3
Use the same button (shift) to cycle a variable, or toggle a different variable (using holding action).
BUT the shift button of the VMS4 is not sending midi signals, so you cant map it.
Bottom line ..follow Scenario 2. :)

Yea thanks that option sounds best. i understand it in concept the coding gets me confused
i found this.
To use a combination of buttons to trigger two different actions (I.e: SHIFT button):
VDJscript for the button that will act as the modifier, i.e: SHIFT:
set '$shift' 1 while_pressed
Button to perform two different actions depending on the state of SHIFT button, e.g: FX:
var '$shift' ? effect 'backspin' active : effect 'Flanger' active
This causes the button to trigger flanger on its own, and backspin if SHIFT+button is pressed.
a couple questions
To assign the shift button do i enter this exactly? "set '$shift' 1 while_pressed"
To assign cue one? "var 'shift$' 1 cue1 : delete_cue1
Thanks!

@Djdad thanks for your help
what you did in this post is similar to the set up i want. way to go making that along with the skin and sharing it!
Im looking to use L touch pad to toggle shift hot cues 1 2 3 4 into hot cues 5 6 7 8
keeping my standard shift button set to delete hot cue 1 2 3 4

hi, so you understand the syntax of how to script shift functions it follows this basic principal
query ? action if true : action if false
var 'shift_delete' ? action if true : action if false
shifts can be called anything you wish as long as you query the same thing, and personally I prefer local shifts that only affect the side of the controller the button is on, to do that you just omit the "$" sign before the shift name. so in your case if you want a hot cue delete it would be
var 'shift_delete' ? delete_cue 1 : hot_cue 1
but you are asking for a script that is a little more complicated as you want to include 2 shift buttons on your hot cues, on each button you want 2 cues so these must be incuded
var 'cue_shift' 1 ? action if true : action if false
var 'cue_shift' 1 ? var 'shift_delete' ? delete_cue 4 : hot_cue 4 : var 'shift_delete' ? delete_cue 1 : hot_cue 1
for the cue shift button I suggest you make that a togge, that way you wont need to hold the shift button to access cues 5 - 8. that is ust
toggle 'cue_shift'
make sure you map the cue shift buttons led to this so you can tell what bank you are in
var 'cue_shift' 1 ? on : off
for the delete that should just be active while held
set 'delete_shift' while_pressed
good luck

forgot to mention that you should map the hot cue leds to
var 'cue_shift' 1 ? hot_cue 4 ? on : off : hot_cue 1 ? on : off
var 'cue_shift' 1 ? hot_cue 4 ? on : off : hot_cue 1 ? on : off

you need to upgrade to vdj pro to be able to map controllers, home only lets you test controllers for the first ten minutes when you open vdj.
