S4 + MidiFighter + Maschine

Interesting. I'll have to give a try this weekend, when I start mapping effect buttons.

We're not talking about the same thing.
You're still actually wrong: let's say your midi fighter is previewed to use fx unit 1 in advanced mode and button A selects, set parameters and engages the desired fx on and off.
Now use a knob or another button (whatever the controller, that's not relevant) to change the fx unit 1 to group mode. Then your midi fighter button A won't be able to turn the fx unit back to advanced mode AND engages the FX at the same time on a single push of a button. You'll need two pushes. That's a known limitation of Traktor and that's why we use Fx presets.
A knob isn't a button and doesn't act the same way.

hm I think you're right but I havent tested it and I never really switched between advanced and chained. So using a Knob would work just with a slight delay as the first midi message switches form adv to chained?

The delay implied would be of no relevance so it's not an issue hopefully.

I wish we could have instant FX from the push of a button whatever the fx mode currently used, that would be awesome and would open so much potential.

Ok, I had some time yesterday evening and did some experimenting.

As it seems to me, the take over of an effects unit from one controller to another needs two presses of a button for it to work. One sets it. (Yul, is that what you meant by FX preset?) The other turns it on. So I stand corrected. I'm going to play around with it some more too, because the Machine's pads aren't just buttons. They send different signals. That could possibly mean some interesting effect variations too.
