Sujet Load different mappers settings on the fly

Ce topic est ancien et peut contenir des informations obselètes ou incorrectes.

I've practically used up all my single keys so i created different mappers. Same sense as scrolling through sampler banks, is it possible to load a different mapped key settings on the fly?

No, there is no action to do this.

Workaround:
What you could do is to have a single mapping but use variable(s) and execute one action when true and another when not.

Example: Use a button to toggle (true/false) a variable...
toggle "$mysetup" (use any name, just have the $ at the beginning)

Then each button can have ...
var "$mysetup" ? ActionA : ActionB
the button will execute ActionA if the variable is true and ActionB if not

What I sometimes do is put the functionality on pad pages, and then use the function-key pad-page mapping (keyboard to pads)

And then I only map keyboard keys to select specific pad pages

Thanks for the response. If you have time please PM me the steps.

I hope it's ok if I just post them here

First step is to map something to the pads. I suggest using the pre-made "keyboard to pads" definition from the download section:

I made a video about it recently:


After that you can skip between the pad pages using F9 and F10 and trigger the pads with F1 - F8 and shift+F1 - shift+F8
You can also map keyboard keys to take you directly to a pad page by add the script pad_page <name>, like pad_page 'hotcues'
You can also make a pad page page that is simply an index pad page for other pad pages.
I show that in this video:


After that you just need to add all the script you like to custom pad pages. I made a video about custom pad pages a while ago:


Here are few examples of custom pad pages I've made, and which I can trigger using this setup:

You could always use the modifier keys
Shift+key
Or
Ctrl+key
Or even
Ctrl+shift+key

Not initially as simple to press as a single key but i know with practice these combos become second nature.

Like I have a,s,d,f to call beatgrid on/off slots 1 to 4, shit+ those keys calls slots 5 to 8 check your mapping if you could free up some keys
( i know its hard to reprogram your brain when a key has been one command for years, I've a controller launchpad 2 reloop neons and i still use the keyboard, old habits die hard :-) )
