in fact both are not totally impossible
if you play with a variable enabling the blinking mode and reset it in the other pad
if the pad toggles the function the other pad use in a way to blink
if you query other pad status
cues play pause stems loops ... do it

But this can be dangerous :
if wrong pad is specified VDJ can crash and won't start again until pad is fixed externally
(specially pad recursion: pad self calling & pad calling a pad calling it)

Gets a little bit "spaghetti" with so many things going on.
But assuming you want dark red if pad 16 is on, perhaps just :

effect_slider 'RMX-500' 32 & not param_equal 1 ? color 'darkred' : effect_slider 'RMX-500' 17 1 ? effect_slider 'RMX-500' 30 1 ? blink 700ms ? color 'red' : color 'white' : effect_slider 'RMX-500' 17 1 ? blink 700ms ? colo 'red' : color 'darkred' : color 'red' : color 'red'


But that will override any press colors on pad 1, not sure if thats ok with you.

Ah good good ;-)
Can do a little video if you want sure.. ;-) sounds like you did a bit of led and lights and dual function on pads

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
