That mapping is only on your controller though... If you mean you mapped the controller led that way

You can edit the sampler pads in the pads editor and add some script to blink and color there
https://www.virtualdj.com/manuals/virtualdj/editors/padseditor.html

Not entirely sure I understand what you are doing or want to do...

But lets say you are using sampler on a pad, in Pad Editor.
The Action (push action) could then be: sampler_pad 1
And the color: sampler_pad 1 ? blink ? color "green" : color "red" : color "blue"

That would blink green and red when playing, and be blue when off..

In your example you might probably want something like

blink ? blink on color : blink off color : off color
so .. blink 700ms? color 'red': color 'darkred' : color 'blue'
(but needs more than that, but you might have before blink)

Maybe that gets you somewhere

For starters, starting a script with

blink ?

will make the led blink always no matter what.

So, for a led to have on/off/blink states you need to map as follows:

query ? blink ? color 'red' : color 50% 'red' : color 'black'

OR

query1 ? color 'green' : query2 ? blink ? color 'red' : color 50% 'red' : color 'black'

Now, sampler pads are somehow special when it comes to their colors as the software itself tries to provide the best dimmed/full colors on the leds based on the color of the sample itself and it's playback state.

For the sampler therefore I would do:

sampler_play 1 ? blink 500ms ? sampler_color 1 : color 'black' : sampler_color 1 "auto"

With the above code the led will blink but not to full/dimmed color. It will blink to full color / black instead.
Currently there's no way to get the dimmed color of a sample (while the sample is playing)

Still not exactly sure how you mapped things
But I guess you want something like this in the color part of the Pad Editor

effect_button "my vst name" 22 ? blink ? sample_color 1 : color "black" : color "blue"

or

effect_button "my vst name" 22 ? blink ? sample_color 1 : color "darkred" : sample_color 1 "auto"

In other words, you need to tell when to blink, as part of the script.
For example when button 22 is pressed

Totally depends on mapping though.
Not sure why a VST mapping should show sampler color, makes little sense...
But perhaps you made just some examples. If so replace "sample_color" with color "something"

effect_slider 'RMX-1000' 31 0? off & effect_slider 'RMX-1000' 31: on & effect_slider 'RMX-1000' 31 0

in the color I currently have

blink 700ms? color 'red': color 'darkred'

skin it remains flashing because, I think I understand, the query to insert before "blink" is missing

Yes, you didnt add anything before "blink". You need to say when to blink, else it will just blink no matter what.

For the color try something along

effect_slider 'RMX-1000' 31 0? blink 700ms? color 'red': color 'black' : color 'darkred'

If you want it to blink red when slider is at zero, and be dark red when not.
Or change the logic if you want something else...

effect_slider 'RMX-1000' 31 & param_bigger 0 ? blink 700ms? color 'red': color 'black' : color 'darkred'

For the opposite, blink when not zero, else be dark red

Probably both. Depends a bit on script.

The opposite button can query if first button is true, and first button can do different things depending on conditions. But hard to say without an example or something that tells what you are trying to do :)

Probably just have to query that in the script you set for blink on pad 1 .. .

effect_slider 'RMX-500' 32 & not param_equal 127 (if thats what pad 16 is setting it to)
