What exactly is the issue you are having?
Overlay shortcuts are assigned to individual inputs on a specific channel (1/2/3/4) and there are 5 options for shortcut actions (6 if you count Preview) namely "On(blank)/In/Off/Out/Zoom". The first option acts the same as clicking the 'Overlay' button, it will activate and de-activate (On and Off) the Overlay, and is probably the most functional option. The others are more specific and only do the one action.
Midi devices, AFAIK, have dual stage buttons and I have found they behave like double clicks of the mouse, so in the case of activating an overlay channel, it's like ON and OFF again with one push of the button. (I have found my MIDI device, the Novation Launchpad, to be unusable for such functions in vMix for that very reason)

Hi Ice

My issue is that i wanna be able to use DSK to control the overlays, instead of assigning four overlays to 1 input, so i don´t have to use 8*4(8inputs)*(4Overlays)=32 pads. But rather use 12 pads 8 overlays and four DSK. I wanna make shortcuts like this on my Akai Mini.

"To the best of my knowledge, "Shortcuts" are singular functions assigned to a specific key, not compound actions such that one key (button) can trigger ..."

The "advanced" tab in the shortcut settings will allow you to fire off other shortcuts. I'm using this to mute Skype audio channels and switch automix on and off with a single midi command.

Alternatively, according to the help:

"Multiple functions can be easily assigned to as single keyboard or controller button press.

To do this, simply add multiple shortcuts, assigning them to the same button.

When the button is pressed they will be called in the order in which they appear in the Shortcuts list. Use the up and down buttons to change the order if necessary."
