Not sure what you meant, but you can add multiple "buttons" to a button

Click the [+] button in the custom button editor to add multiple buttons to a button
 
You can also use the pads, to add unlimited amount of custom buttons (aka, custom pads)




These you could also call by action . . pad_page "My Cool Buttons 1" (name of the pad page you created, and you can create as many as you like)
 
custom buttons are multi buttons : they can have any number of custom functions
and the number of custom button is only limited by the skin
the only difference is
you can use multi_button by name with no problem as they are staticaly defined
custom button now have "dynamic" name as it can be scripted so this is more difficult

incorrect you can just invent custom_buttons at will, they don't have to show on the skin

custom_button_edit 6

you can't call by name because there is nothing stopping you from having 2 custom buttons with the same name
you can call custom buttons by number and variation
custom_button 2 3
calls 3 variation of custom button 2
 
wow thanks guys. can i change the loop section to be 5,6,7,8 custom pads? im using ddj-xp1 so my hotcue area changes automatically
