hi all. In the “MIDI Mappings” directory of djay Pro in OSX i see a lot of templates with name \*.djayMidiMapping files. I can edit this file for my personalization , and in this files i see: condition modifier2 == 7 How work the modifier and condition? Is possibile to map multiple modifiers? ---

I think that modifier2 holds the user selected PadMode for deck2. Respectively modifier1 holds the selected pad mode for deck1 and so on for decks 3 & 4. State == 7 is BounceLoop mode, or Loop Roll, how it’s labeled on many controllers. This is the way for that pad buttons to do different things, in the context of the selected pad mode. I really want this exposed in the UI too [and created a request to see it exposed](https://community.algoriddim.com/t/expose-the-modifiers-condition-string-in-the-midi-mapping-ui/32181) for how it works, I understand that for example, on 4ch controllers, when I change deck 1/3, there’s a modifier state being raised. There are multiple modifiers, and their state. apparently, it’s an internal thing that the mapping team is setting and it’s very custom and specific for the variety of controllers. Perhaps they have some convention, but that’s not documented, and IMO, doesn’t need to be really - we can figure it out … ---

There are several threads for this request - you can vote on them: > [@Traktor-style Modifiers and Conditions?](https://community.algoriddim.com/t/traktor-style-modifiers-and-conditions/11849/34): > > @Slak_Jaw, please escalate this to the R&D team again. Let us have a “Conditions” in the Advanced Section, where we can see and set per command modifier conditions in the mappings UI. They modifiers support is there in the engine, and every command can evaluate a condition. It’s just not accessible to us, the users. And we need it. As a first step, just let us see and edit them per command. That should be relatively easy for the Dev Team.

This has been requested in another post: Digging a bit, it seems to already work somehow in the mappings engine, only lacking UI. This is an excerpt from the MIXTOUR mapping, related to the use of the Filter knob, which can also become an FX knob, if the FX “switch” is ON. The knob is simply sending “CC 4” but the mapping does different things if the “FX” switch is on or off: \ \keyPath\ … ---

I’ve made a post describing how we can use the modifiers and will be gradually adding info on what each does. > [@HOW TO work with Modifiers in the MIDI Mapping XML](https://community.algoriddim.com/t/howto-work-with-modifiers-in-the-midi-mapping-xml/32183): > > Hello, While working on my Denon MC7000 monster controller mapping, I’ve defined a secondary/custom SHIFT+ key, and that suddenly opened up a VAST field of available buttons for extra control mappings. For many buttons, it was straight forward just press the custom SHIFT and the button, and voila - one more layer of control options is suddenly becoming available. In the case of MC7000, we have a pair of buttons on both sides that are for controlling the Views in Serato. I chose the L.PREP butt… ---
