Not a hugely important topic but this verb is very under-documented, so I best quick fill in the gaps
The verb
get_date
I saw that and I thought "those format specifiers look very much like some C/C++ I know",
so I just tried some stuff that I guessed might work, and it does work. So it's not just date, it's all things time in pretty much any format you'll need.
After confirmation from the devs, it works how I guessed it works [get_date passes the format specifiers to the C++ function I thought it was]
Here's the full list of format specifiers available and the output.
The verb
get_date
verb description wrote :
get the current date (use 'get_date "format"' to get the date in a specific format. format can include %Y, %m, %d for year, month and day, %A for weekday)

Hi
I have an Akai LPD8 (8 pad colour controller) that I have been reprogramming to use as a sampler pad that will play samples taking into account what sample page is selected.
Quite simply I've set the controller to be on deck 5 so it doesn't effect my left or right decks and mapped custom buttons to cycle up and down the sample pages for deck 5.
'sample_pad 1' etc works fine for every page,
& 'sampler_pad 1 ? blink ? sampler_color 1 : off : sampler_color 1' etc will show the correct colours for each pad on the selected page.
I have 2 queries:
1. Sampler volume
The LPD8 also has 8 volume knobs but 'sampler_volume_nogroup 1' ALWAYS adjusts sample slot 1 regardless of what the sample page you are on.
I have programmed in
'param_equal `sampler_pad_page` "1 to 8" ? sampler_volume_nogroup 1 :
param_equal `sampler_pad_page` "9 to 16" ? sampler_volume_nogroup 9 : ' etc
but with 8 pages to script for 8 buttons, I wondered if there was a more efficient way to adjust the sampler volumes, perhaps that would follow the sampler page but still use 1-8.
2. Is there a way to CYCLE through the sampler_pad_pages, I can have 2 buttons, 'sampler_pad_page +1' and '-1' but when you get to the end (or beginning) it will stop rather than revert back to '1 to 8', I know I can script it to check if I am at the end but wondered if there was a way to specify to automatically cycle.
Anyway, it does work OK but since samples have changed dramatically recently I wondered if there were improvements (perhaps not yet documented) I could use to get the script more efficient.
Thanks.

No you're pretty up to date with your methods.

hi all.
it´s possible to get and show in custom button name case the live count of a repeat_start "x"
My idea is play a sampler in periodes of X time.
and if i could would be very nice view a counter in button who display time remining for next sampler play.
i´m playing with script long time but aresome things i can´t reach understand.
i´m tried some fool scripts like this whitout success:
`get_text ´get_var "kuñas" ``
`get_text ´get_var "kuñas" & param_cast ``
i supposse had to add a repeat for live update time, but first need to get the time value, and convert ms to min & seg, last thing hope do it with explanations on the "repeat" chapter of school...
lot of work yet for make it...
thanks

There's nothing in the repeat_start verb that does that, there's nothing stopping you setting your own variable and displaying that.

Btw I have been able to achieve good results for simple scripts with ChatGPT.

hi, do you think is a little bug that sampler_pad if it’s in a little sintax like photo doesn’t work? work only if script is only “sampler_pad”
