Topic: Denon MC4000 Custom Mapping the Sampler Buttons
Wondering if some can help me out here... I'm experiencing a weird behavior when custom mapping the 4 dedicated Sampler Buttons on the controller.

The button layout is in a quad configuration:
SAMPLER_BUT1 | SAMPLER_BUT2
SAMPLER_BUT3 | SAMPLER_BUT4

I've mapped each button with the following:

SAMPLER_BUT1
stem_pad "Acapella"
SAMPLER_BUT2
stem_pad "Acapella"
SAMPLER_BUT3
stem_pad "Instrumental"
SAMPLER_BUT4
stem_pad "Instrumental"

However, whether I press SAMPLER_BUT1 or SAMPLER_BUT2 it turns on Acapella on the right deck, and the left deck is never affected. The same is true for SAMPLER_BUT3 or SAMPLER_BUT4 it turns on Instrumental on the right deck, and the left deck is never affected.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Those buttons are not associated with a deck, so the implied deck it will act on is the default/selected deck, pressing tab key will switch the selected deck.
 
I suppose you 'll need to add deck in front of the action , like..
deck 1 stem_pad 'Acapella'
deck 2 stem_pad 'Acapella'

Thank you by explicitly addressing the decks worked! I had tried some variations with no luck like "deck_select" but obviously that was not the right command to use. Cheers, DJR

Thank you for the tip, I did not realize that non-associated buttons would act solely on the focused deck. Cheers, DJR
 
Gents I'm now trying to incorporate the blinking of each Sampler pad when my action is activated and I 've tried so many things and nothing seems to work. I know this console has a key named LED_SAMPLE_BUT1 but I don't understand how to incorporate this with the SAMPLE_BU1 where my command is.

This is where I have landed so far but this does not work.

KEY: SAMPLE_BU1
ACTION: deck 1 stem_pad "Acapella" : blink 400ms : on : off

Any guidance is greatly appreciated, DJR
 
deck 1 stem_pad "Acapella" ? blink 400ms ? on : off : off

Thanks for the quick reply! that doesn't work it doesn't invoke Acapella or the LED blink.
 
Hi, I'm not so good to program the Denon with Stems and is it possible to have your mapping so I can use it also?
