  10. VOLUME. The 4 encoders will control the volume of the 4 samples of the selected row (8). If no row is selected the encoders will control the Volume of Sample Groups 1 to 4. If a Group is not available (no samples are assigned to a group), the encoders will control the Master Output Volume of the Sampler.
 

Colored Leds


Each one of the 32 Leds of the pads (7) can have 4 different colors. Use the VDJ script action constant x (where x can have the following values) to illuminate the Leds differently.

constant 0 orange (off state)
constant 0.1 green
constant 0.3 blinking green
constant 0.5 purple
constant 0 6 blinking purple
constant 0.9 blue
constant 0.99 blinking blue

A different speed of blink illumination can be achieved with the following action.

blink 300ms ? constant x : constant y

Where x and y can be any values from the above and a different ms value can be also used to increase/decrease the speed of the blink illumination
