Topic: FX Section Mapping on Pioneer SX2
Cheers,
I recently switched from Rekordbox to VDJ (at least I want to give it a try and really enjoy it so far), but I was wondering about using different FX on each deck.
Rekordbox allows me to have an individual effect on each button, plus the knob for the beats.
However, in VDJ, only the first button activates the corresponding effect, the other two buttons just browse through the list of effects activated with the first one.
I hope you get what I am trying to describe here. Is there a way to use the other two buttons to be able to assign three different FX per deck? (Or use Multi FX)

Thanks a lot for your help.

this may help

options - interface - 3fx or 6fx layout :-)

Thank you for your quick replies, much appreciated!

The first actually worked (could not find the second one in the options though), however, now I am facing the issue, that the beats knob only has an impact on the length of the first effect but not on the other two.
Is that possible somehow?

change it from
param_smaller 0 ? effect_beats -1 : effect_beats +1
to
param_smaller 0 ? effect_beats 1 -1 & effect_beats 2 -1 & effect_beats 3 -1 : effect_beats 1 +1 & effect_beats 2 +1 & effect_beats 3 +1

you'll have 2 dials to change

Hi Locodog,

where do I find this in the options?

I switched it from German to English, still can't locate it though :(

what are you talking about, settings or the script?

Have you try shift and button "tap" on the controller to change between multi and single effect?

Hi Locodog,
I found it (first it did not understand what exactly to change and where to find that):
In the mapping I changed "FX1_ENC_BEATS" and "FX2_ENC_BEATS" according to your suggestion (I did copy&paste).
However, after that change using the Beats knob on the effect section of the SX2, it somehow only increases it to the max (regardless of turning it to the left or the right), and after reaching max, it cannot be decreased anymore :(
Had to switch the mapping back to the original state to be able to decrease the Beats setting again.
