Favourite chained FX combos.

Hey people.

Im working on a mapping for padKontrol + farmpad. I have lots of great features and hope to share it with you all soon. It mostly revolves around flexible and advanced control of fx unit 1.

One of the features is going to be instant one hit access to 16 different favourite chained fx combinations. What i want to know is what are your favourite fx combos? There are only so may i can come up with myself!

Thanks. Dups.

Gate, reverb and transpose combo is my bread & butter :wink:

3

Delay & Gater with on/off buttons set to toggle, & Beatmasher with On button set to Hold would be my main chain settaing.

Can anyone elucidate please on how they get the transpose stretch sounding musical or good? Ta muchly!

6

that means explain? yeah?

i can’t figure out the one called ‘no effect’. don’t see what it’s meant to do

gater - format filter - reverb
beatmasher - delay - reverse grain

Weve told you ours, now you tell us yours :wink:

I also find it useful to double map all of my fx, one with a modifier to send that fx combo to FX bank 2 or whatever.

Thanks everyone. Really helps. :slight_smile:

As for my favourites:
Gater - Reverb - Formant
Slicer - Formant - Delay
Beatmasher - Phaser flux - Filter 92

With this mapping, i exclusively focus on FX unit 1. This is because this mapping is designed to compliment something such as the VCI-100.

I could have a modifier toggle between fx 1 and 2 if traktor allowed you to have more than two modifier conditions per line of mapping. I have already done some crazy modifier magic and all these are used up. :disappointed:

I could also make a new page in farmpad with different MIDI CC’s but for now im trying to get just the 1 FX right.

So, any other killer fx chains i need to include?

beatmasher, gate, flanger is useful when scratching.

I don’t really think about fx combos much because I bought a nanokontrol and have all four fx banks being controlled through that…

In techno/minimal sounds good on the buildups ( not all the time though :slight_smile: ) and also to completely reinvent and destroy 4 a bar loop for instance, adding some delay as well…
Hope it makes sense :wink:

Reverb, LFO, Gater. It’s a preset from the VCI-100SE, and it’s really great for building up some energy.

have you gone beyond using 0 and 1 for most of them? had 4 functions on my jogs a little while ago using combinations of 0, 1 and 2 across the 2 mods.

I remapped my whole jog wheel functionality too so I could free up a few more modifiers.
I find the best way of setting up all these effects is to have them setup on a separate pad controller, no need to worry about not having enough modifiers then :smiley:
