Introduction and Goals of "The Ultimate FX Thread"

This thread is going to be dedicated to posting an evolving list of FX parameters. Anyone who has any custom instant press, Super Fader, Super Knob or Jog FX mappings, please post them on here so others can learn how to map FX and eventually create their own. Thanks, lets hope this gets good feedback!

This thread now contains all of the Instant Gratification parameters!
Soon to have Jog FX parameters!

This button combo is variation to rattle snake effect that Dubfire often uses in sets. It's pretty cool for making transitions between tracks or for spicing up tracks on the fly.

Route FX Mapping concept.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Smart Knob: Set start value for any FX parameter [Tutorial]

This is mapping should be fairly simple and as title says it allows the user to set any particular value at the moment the knob is turned from the far left position (start value). In this tutorial I will use the Deck A Filter as an example of creating a high pass filter knob.

Step one:

Add a modifier and map it to any fader/knob - I'm using M1 here but feel free to map which ever is available/free in your mappings. It should look like this:

Add In > Modifier 1 / type=button / interaction=hold / value=1



Step two:

Go ahead and add the FX parameter you wish to modulate. I'll be setting the channel A Filter in the mixer.

Add In > Mixer > Filter Adjust / condition M1=0 / type=button / interaction=direct / value=0.500



This command will take care of setting my filter knob back to zero (center) each time I start modulating the knob to the right starting from far left position.

Step three:

So we'll need another command which actually adjusts the amount of the filter to create a high pass modulation... Inverting this command will turn this knob in to a low pass filter.

Add In > Mixer > Filter Adjust / condition M1=1 / type=fader / interaction=relative / rotary sensitivity=70%



Final Step:

We also want to engage/toggle the effect when the knob is turned from start position. Right?

Add In > Mixer > Filter On / type=button / interaction=hold

Relative Modifier Mapping Technique



This mapping technique will allow some more creative fader/knob usage on any MIDI controller. To start with experimenting go ahead and add one modifier which is free in your mapping... We'll be using modifier #1 in this example

Add In > Modifier 1 > apply the settings same as in the image below



Time to test. Move the fader and notice that modifier value will toggle in between 0 to 7 but, the state will change right at the knob center position which allows for super knob functionality in your mapping.

Short example of this technique combined with an Echo-Freeze effect.


Let's try do some mappings. We can start by assigning an effect button but in our case we want this button to get activated when the fader passes the center position and remain activated if you continue moving knob to the very end. Once you bring it back to center and slide back to zero value the effect turns off and remains in this state.

Map button commands to the same Fader with Modifier 1:
Add In > FX Unit > Button 1 / M1=0 / type=button / interaction=direct / value=0 / assign FX Unit target
Add In > FX Unit > Button 1 / M1=7 / type=button / interaction=direct / value=1 / assign FX Unit target

This is vary basic setup which helps show what this technique can let you do. I hope you guys like and find some great use cases where this modifier technique shows it's full potential!
