Topic: MC6000 EFX button configs with VDJ 8.2

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I used to have the EFX (4 of them) buttons for each deck programmed for the following effects:

EFX1 - Beat Grid
EFX2 - Loop Out
EFX3 - Backspin
EFX4 - Brake

The controller Denon DN-MC6000 selection appears to show the proper actions, but the buttons aren't working. For example, the action for the left deck EFX1 shows:

EFX1_BTN_LEFT
effect 'beatgrid' activate

The button doesn't light up and the effect isn't working. Any suggestions please?

That's v7 syntax,

effect_active 'name'

Check the mapping window it gives the full syntax as you'll need to include slot assignment

Can you help me? What do you mean check the mapping window?

the controller section, where you do the mapping, where you assign script to buttons.

I found this helpful video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKm0vdj7xxk

At 5:00 in the video, he shows how to program a button (on a different controller) to the backspin effect. That's one that I'm wanting to map for my MC6000 EFX button:
Old VDJ7 syntax:
effect 'backspin' activate

VDJ8 syntax:
backspin

Yet, the button still does not light up nor does the effect work.

Still trying...

I sure do appreciate the replies to help me. I tried that last one, but still no luck. But I'm checking out that reference you listed, it's a good one.

Anyone have any other suggestions as to the proper syntax to get the Denon MC6000 EFX buttons programmed?

effect_active 1 'beat grid'

effect_active 2 'loop out'

effect_active 3 'backspin'
