Topic: Can map "effect_button" to audio effects but not Visual

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi guys, any help or input would be great. I've mapped a few visualizations to keys to make jumping from camera to lottery or telly visuals quick and easy. The problem i have is i can't map any of their effect_button options, the option is there but nothing happens. I can map audio effects but not the video ones?

Thanks guys

I have exactly that written and nothing happens. Yet it works with audio effect_buttons. Its very strange.

I've tried mapping it to a keyboard and a launchpad but nothing. I've tried lottery/camera and slideshow but none of them trigger. Yet it i did the same for echo it works instantly.

What i'm try to achieve is that on lottery when its activated that i can use a keystroke or pad press to activate the Start/Stop button situated in the effect_button 1. But it just won't work for me. Id love to see how you got yours working.

Thanks for the reply BTW. appreciate it

If you loaded these effects on master, you probably want to use
deck master effect_button 'Lottery' 3

Otherwise it will take the Lottery instance on the deck it is called from/active deck, which probably doesn't have a Lottery effect running.

Ok I have no idea how this works, nor slideshow. Can't find info on how to set up.

Both need a folder with images (or videos for Slideshow). To define this folder, you need to open their GUI from the small cog icon you see next to the Effect when you open the Effects drop selection list.
