turn on led with different modifier values

[synthet1c]

Hi gents/stewe..

I am wanting to turn the grid of my vci-400 into a grid but save on modifiers and instead use the values 0-7 to set the state of the mode, I have been playing with it for about an hour and getting nowhere. I think it should be a simple task so I thought I would ask the masters. What I am focusing on is

add in -> modifier #5 -> type('button') -> mode('direct') -> value(0);
add in -> modifier #5 -> type('button') -> mode('direct') -> value(1);
add in -> modifier #5 -> type('button') -> mode('direct') -> value(2);
add in -> modifier #5 -> type('button') -> mode('direct') -> value(3);

add out -> modifier #5 -> condition(M5=0) -> range(min=0, max=0) -> invert(checked);
add out -> modifier #5 -> condition(M5=1) -> range(min=1, max=1) -> invert(checked);
add out -> modifier #5 -> condition(M5=2) -> range(min=2, max=2) -> invert(checked);
add out -> modifier #5 -> condition(M5=3) -> range(min=3, max=3) -> invert(checked);

That makes sense in my mind but it's not working, care to shed any light on it? I can see in the editor that the value is successfully changing between the values but the led isn't playing nice.

nevermind I figured it out... I was using the condition when I didn't need to an it's implied when using a modifier for the led output and the range does everything.

add out -> modifier #5 -> range(min=0, max=0) -> invert(false);
add out -> modifier #5 -> range(min=1, max=1) -> invert(false);
add out -> modifier #5 -> range(min=2, max=2) -> invert(false);
add out -> modifier #5 -> range(min=3, max=3) -> invert(false);

thanks for the look in fellas...

Another question..

What is the easiest way to duplicate the mappings so I just need to make one deck, one channel of the mixer and one effect slot, then just relearn all the different controls. Hopefully I can just duplicate the modules an re-address them to specific decks... Is that possible or do you really need to make every single command for each control of every deck.. If so that's a deal breaker, because the interface is terrible and takes far more time to map than it should, or at least in comparison to what I'm used to.

[Stewe]

You can duplicate a mapping device, change deck/unit assignments and re-learn your commands. Or you can copy and paste any command within a device if you're using Xtreme Mappings app.

don't use a mac unfortunately.. I opened a tsi but it's way above my pay grade to decipher. As long as I can just make modules that's fine... but that raises another question... Are modifiers global to all connected controllers or are they local to each mapping or in my case module?

[Stewe]

The modifiers are not global but you can use same grids to make them global

[synthet1c]

I want the grid local so I have different grids for each deck, but it would be nice to have a global shift for all decks that can be triggered on multiple decks with multiple buttons, does that mean I can add the same button to multiple modules to fire at the same time and therefore have that modifier available to all modules.

[Stewe]

That is correct. You can add that shift modifier in multiple devices as well as complete modifier grids and they should work respectively in all devices.
