Topic: Highlight Masterdeck on controller
Sorry if this is a really obvious one, but I'm trying to set to buttons on my LPD8 to switch between the master deck. I've got the buttons set up as follows:

button 1:
deck 1 select


button 2:
deck 2 select


But I'm struggling to get the LEDs set to show when each is on/off. If I use the following:
masterdeck left ? color 'cyan' : color 10% 'cyan'

masterdeck right ? color 'red' : color 10% 'red'


This highlights both when the left deck is the masterdeck but sets them both dim when the right deck is selected.

Where am I going wrong?

I figured it out. I needed to use the following:
deck left select ? color 'cyan' : color 10% 'cyan'

deck right select ? color 'red' : color 10% 'red'

masterdeck and deck master are different things, they can point to the same thing sometimes

masterdeck is what all other sync calls will line up with, from a fresh start of vdj masterdeck auto will be active, that is were the role of masterdeck will automatically assign to the loudest deck [as worked out by fader position * crossfader position of all playing decks]
To hard assign [as opposed to auto assign] you would do something like this
deck 1 masterdeck

deck master can be a little confusing,
deck master effect_active echo will start the echo effect that captures all decks, and that's how it is for all effect_* scripts
however
deck master play_pause will cause whatever deck is masterdeck to play or pause.
