Howdie all,
I tend to "edit" a lot of the tracks in my set via action points (auto loops, beatjumps of different lenghts. jump to cue points...).
Now I am quite happy with it all.
But been considering using a pad (like ddj xp1/2) with custom mapping and do the edit "live" when wanting a more engaged session. And via action points when I feel like just having a chill time.
Now when doing live via pads. my set action points might interfere.
So is there a way to just disable action points within vdj.
Would suck to have to duplicate my efforts of setting all the points on a 2nd copy of the tracks...
(and doing it without at least named marker points is a not go for me)
thanks a bunch in advance

I had a thought about that a couple of weeks ago.
In Scotland we generally use Runrig Loch Lomond as the last track of the night, and I have a POI set so when it gets to the last beat nefore the cheering at the end it invokes my end of night sequence on the moving heads. I got asked for it during the evening and had to delete the POI so it didn't screw up the lights.
As you say apart from having a second copy I can't think of a workaround at the moment.

two of us already.. if an easy way doesn't exist yet... 2 might be enough to create a feature request ;-)
now... for a non-easy way:
set a persistent global boolean variable "APsActive" and put all Action Points behind a check:
if APsActive then doaction else donothing
(map a button to toggle the variable between true/false)
easy...unless you already have 100s of action points. retrofitting that would suck big time I fear (unless there is a way to programatically do it (for all action points in all songs get "script"; set retrofittedscript;)

You can do what I do:
Map a custom button as
Now "remap" your action POIs as per the following example:
This way if you don't use the button that you mapped above to "enable" the POIs (set the variable to 1) they will not execute.
PS: Personally I use local (per deck) variables as in the example I gave you. This way I can control each deck indecently since I have remapped a button in my controller as
You could achieve the same results with a global variable (like '$ExecMacro') but I think the "per deck" solution is future proof.
Map a custom button as
deck all toggle 'ExecMacro'
Now "remap" your action POIs as per the following example:
var_equal 'ExecMacro' 1 ? goto_cue 3
