Tópico: Special question about custom buttons
Is something like this possible ?

deck 1 plays

custom button:

when deck 1 has reached cue point 7 > automatically start deck 2 at cue point 3

Yes that's pretty much the basis of how the routine padpage works.

Would probably be smarter to just have an action poi as cue 7 with a conditional that the custom button triggers.

poi var $conditional ? deck 2 hot_cue 3 : nothing
custom_button toggle $conditional
 
hi Locodog, that works very well !!!
But I want to use it alternately for Player 1 and vice versa for Player 2.
What and how do I need to add it ?
 
poi var $conditional ? action_deck 1 ? deck 2 hot_cue 3 : deck 1 hot_cue 3 : nothing
 
@Locodog
works very well, how good that we have you !!
 
Hi Locodoc, my action poi for cue 7 is now as follows :
var $conditional ? action_deck 1 ? deck 2 hot_cue 3 & play_sync & phrase_sync 16 : deck 1 hot_cue 3 & play_sync & phrase_sync 16 : nothing

That works great !!

now I want to create an action poi for Cue 3 as follows:
deck 1 play ? mute : deck 2 play ? mute

but this only works for Player 1 not for Player 2 (what is wrong)

The new action poi should achieve the following >
when poi cue 7 is reached and poi cue 3 is triggered,
the last playing deck should be muted in poi cue 3 and vice versa.
 
var $conditional ? action_deck 1 ? deck 2 hot_cue 3 & play_sync & phrase_sync 16 & deck 1 mute : deck 1 hot_cue 3 & play_sync & phrase_sync 16 & deck 2 mute : nothing


like that?
 
no, not like that.
The last playing deck should be muted immediately when the new deck plays, this should be triggered with the additional action poi cue 3

action point cue 3 > deck 1 play ? mute : deck 2 play ? mute
 
but the original script calls hot_cue 3 so, why not include it in the original script, I don't understand.

but if you want it on hot_cue 3, it could be this
action_deck 1 ? deck 2 mute : deck 1 mute
 
unfortunately doesn't work like that.
I suspect this is due to the "mute" command which is switched on and off with each key click,
so that after playing both decks, both are muted
 
You're not really being clear in what you want.
 
Sorry if I expressed myself in a misleading way but English is not my native language!
The whole thing is quite difficult to convey but I try to make it clearer.

Player 1 plays and reaches Cue 7 with the action point, at this moment Player 2 starts automatically, now Player 1 should be muted immediately, as soon as Player 2 reaches the action point Cue 7
Player 2 should be muted and so on.
 
var $conditional ? action_deck 1 ? deck 2 mute off & hot_cue 3 & play_sync & phrase_sync 16 & deck 1 mute on : deck 1 mute off & hot_cue 3 & play_sync & phrase_sync 16 & deck 2 mute on : nothing


like that then?
 
You are the best, it works !!! thanks
