Topic: How to query adjacent keys?
If I'm at a current key and I want to know what key is -1 from that or -2 or +3, is there a way to do it in a skin script by querying VDJ and with like "what's current key minus 2?" Or do I need some huge key lookup table built into the skin?

I'd do it like this if using classical key, or just use camelot

get_harmonic & 
param_contains '01' ? param_contains 'A' ? get_text 'C#m' : get_text 'E' : 
param_contains '02' ? param_contains 'A' ? get_text '' : get_text '' : 
param_contains '03' ? param_contains 'A' ? get_text '' : get_text '' : 
param_contains '04' ? param_contains 'A' ? get_text '' : get_text '' : 
param_contains '05' ? param_contains 'A' ? get_text '' : get_text '' : 
param_contains '06' ? param_contains 'A' ? get_text '' : get_text '' : 
param_contains '07' ? param_contains 'A' ? get_text '' : get_text '' : 
param_contains '08' ? param_contains 'A' ? get_text '' : get_text '' : 
param_contains '09' ? param_contains 'A' ? get_text '' : get_text '' : 
param_contains '10' ? param_contains 'A' ? get_text '' : get_text '' : 
param_contains '11' ? param_contains 'A' ? get_text '' : get_text '' : 
param_contains '12' ? param_contains 'A' ? get_text '' : get_text '' :
 
Cool, thanks. Grok has already figured out a similar table method. After several days of trying. First time finally to work it looks like in any deck skin ever. Perfect now. Now let's see if Grok can do 4 buttons on either side of the current key to jump to them.
 
Somewhat easier would be
get_key +1
 
Awesome. Thank you. Both work, but this is simpler. Now need to get it to wrap back around when it reaches 12 in either direction. The home stretch for this one. Will update the submission soon.
 
a combination of the two, depending on which way you're going

get_harmonic & 
param_contains '01' ? param_contains 'A' ? get_text 'C#m' : get_text 'E' : 
get_key -1
 
Yeah, already got it. Had chatgpt handle this one after running out of tokens in grok. Thanks! Might do a third version with even more buttons in each direction, but not yet sure of the usefulness.

Here's something I need help with that's on the same skin:

How can I get the logo.png we use in Engine OS to put a custom picture in the non-M jog ring display? I'm trying to get the Camelot wheel to show. AI has no good ideas so far and seems possibly dictated by something other than the skin, like maybe just how VDJ uses album art?
