I use an American Audio VMS5 controller for Virtual DJ 8.2
I cannot select between more than the first 2 parameter dials for any given FX. Would like to access all dials available, and this should be possible because you press a button (hardware) to move on to the next parameter dial (software), and the dial (hardware) above the button (hardware) alters the setting on the newly selected parameter dial (software). Yet it mysteriously stops at the 2nd dial (software), no further dials are selectable (most Virtual DJ FX seem to have on average 3 dials). I am not sure if that's actually a Virtual DJ software problem or an issue with the American Audio VMS5.

It's software and for a reason
also don't say "can not" just admit you don't know if it's possible, and guess what? it is.
change
toggle 'FxCtrl'
to
cycle 'FxCtrl' X [x = Whatever dial you want to stop at and go back to dial 1 BUT minus 1 from your number ]
change [ I am assuming that X = 3 here, 4 dials]
var 'FxCtrl' ? effect_slider 2 : effect_slider 1
to
var 'FxCtrl' 1 ? effect_slider 2 : var 'FxCtrl' 2 ? effect_slider 3 : var 'FxCtrl' 3 ? effect_slider 4 : effect_slider 1
that will do it but you will have problems if an effect only has 2 dials
you could probably make it smarter with
effect_has_slider
but that's for you to figure out

Actually, that is all within the arc of my original wording.

Right, that explains why it was default set like that.
Therefore l've decided that l do not wish to fix this issue, because actually the first 2 dials could keep me happy anyway, and if a 4-dial solution, where an FX has only 2 dials, pushes my live performance over the precipice, then l'd rather not risk it.

I said there is a way to make it more dynamic [smarter] with
effect_has_slider
you could query has slider 3 if yes increase the var to 4 if not drop the var to 0. zero calling slider 1
effect_has_slider
