update for x64 pending Atomix review, I haven't bothered with x86 I think those days have probably passed.
new version is more of the same but char limits have been increased, 8k for buttons/sliders/onStart/onStop, plus a new buffer script, once a buffer it will call a script if you want it.
the char limit for dial evaluation scripts has been increased to 2k.
char limit for dial results is still limited to 10 chars.
I have a mac M2 coder looking a porting, but macs coding policy is techno feudalism at this point and I'm not paying apple a verification fee. So if it is made it won't be openly released but we can do the pm thing.

Update for x64 is live, the previous version is fine, this update is just bigger char limits and the buffer script.
The buffer script runs faster than rsi scripts,
I'm going to check in with the mac guy today.

first one with the buffer script, this one increases hp & lp filters over a duration then switches off.
The duration is the default loop size.
I haven't give it a name yet, I suppose I should, I'll call it
bpClose
name the ini and a recent copy of virtualfx to bpClose
bpClose.ini
The ini script isn't quite as neat as usual, [more intermediary values then is strictly necessary] that's because I 'programmed' the ini from inside vdj with a custom_button.
Since I have it, I'll share that too
custom_button
string 10 is on fx start
string 12 is buffer script
string 11 is fx stop
I checked in with my mac guy the other day, we hit a snag but we walked back a bit and I think we'll have it soon for Mac Arm [I'll ask if he can bake a mac intel version too]

A while back on page one I made an effect called sweepNoise, technically it was quite interesting how it worked script wise [rsi took advantage of get_text parsing values inside ` ` and then sending all that to a button string, then pressing the button to do the thing.
Interesting but overly complicated.
We've moved on now, rsi not needed as we have the buffer string now, and the complicated sending a string to the button avoided, [which I probably done in the first place]
This is pretty much the blueprint for - I want an fx on for a duration, in that duration I want a slider to move from somewhere to somewhere.
this case like the first it's the noise fx moving the dial from 0.5 to 1.0, but it can be any point to point by tweaking the multiply and the add values.
still an unimaginative .dll & .ini name,
I called this one noiseSweep
PS I'm still wondering about the mac port, maybe the guy is busy, I hope he hasn't given up.

Mac port has been successful, expect it just after new year [a few of my plugins will change licence restrictions at that time too].
In anticipation, I've rewrote the original post with a reasonably deep guide how to use this,
unfortunately somewhere between builds I changed my numbering scheme, so I have to check and edit all previous posts :/

name it, vfxBrakeStart.dll & .ini, nothing fancy just brakeStart that goes upto 20s instead of 12s
here's the .ini to program it
if you're reading to understand it
dial = 2^dialVal * 20 gives a time in seconds 0.0-20.0, saved as a var.
label = just that var with a "s" stuck on the end
onStart = save current setting of rampStartTime & rampStopTime in their own vars, then overwrite those settings with our dial var, play_pause, then a rsi to turn the fx off after dial 1 var duration
onStop = send our 2 saved ramp vars back to ramp settings, and just in case kill the rsi if user spams on/off before the fx has finished naturally.

Hi guys, coming over from my Pioneer Flanger Sound topic the virtualFX Plugin seems to have the most potential to me.
https://virtualdj.com/forums/256494/VirtualDJ_Technical_Support/Flagnger_Sound_DDJ_FLX10_vs_DDJ-1000SRT.html
I'd tried a bit around an can activate the other effect but I'm already stuck to dial another's FX knob.
Well it does activate the TAL-Flanger, but doesnt move any knob, anyway i've tried to move TAL-Flanger 7th knob.
Here is the *.ini of TAL-Flanger

Thank you alot! That was the missing point of understanding your tutorial at the beginning, now it works like a charm. Now looking to get a sinus modulation on depth width and delay based on effect_beats parameter and that should be the pioneer sound.

Anything esle not following this format in the .ini file doesnt work. I will give you an example using the catchspin plugin.
the Instruction was to delete everything in the .ini file and replace it with the script posted by Locodog quoted above. That doesnt seem to work as intended . Instead after re-opening the .ini file for catchspin , i find that new additions have been added to the file despite everything being deleted initially. See Snippets below.
Script 1 is the Intended Script : autoparams]
String OnStart 16=set 'howMany' 0 & set 'trackT' `get_time 'elapsed' 44100` & repeat_start 'CatchSpin' 30ms & param_bigger "get_time 'elapsed' 44100" "get_var 'trackT'" ? set 'trackT' `get_time 'elapsed' 44100` & var 'howMany' 2 ? gain -22% & cycle 'howMany' 1000 & effect_button 'echo' 2 1 & effect_active "echo" & set 'beatvar' `get_bpm & param_1_x & param_multiply 60000 & get_var 'beatvar'` & param_cast "ms" & repeat_start 'rsiOnebeat' & effect_active 'echo' off & repeat_stop 'rsiOnebeat' : cycle 'howMany' 1000 : set 'trackT' `get_time 'elapsed' 44100` & var_smaller 'howMany' 3 ? set 'howMany' 0 : gain +22% & set 'howMany' 0
String OnStop 17=repeat_stop 'CatchSpin'
Script 2 is what is generated after saving and trying to use the effect.[autoparams]
String OnStart 16=set 'howMany' 0 & set 'trackT' `get_time 'elapsed' 44100` & repeat_start 'CatchSpin' 30ms & param_bigger "get_time 'elapsed' 44100" "get_var 'trackT'" ? set 'trackT' `get_time 'elapsed' 44100` & var 'howMany' 2 ? gain -22% & cycle 'howMany' 1000 & effect_button 'echo' 2 1 & effect_active "echo" & set 'beatvar' `get_bpm & param_1_x & param_multiply 60000 & get_var 'beatvar'` & param_cast "ms" & repeat_start 'rsiOnebeat' & effect_active 'echo' off & repeat_stop 'rsiOnebeat' : cycle 'howMany' 1000 : set 'trackT' `get_time 'elapsed' 44100` & var_smaller 'howMany' 3 ? set 'howMany' 0 : gain +22% & set 'howMany' 0

All other .ini scripts/files that i have tried on this particular topic seem to work perfectly (examples brakeNRoll,sWingIT etc etc.
What am i doing wrong, why is catch spin not working, could this be a bug with the macos version? . Does the catchspin .ini script need to be re-written?
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

That's normal the stuff added is just params not used in the function on the script, all vdj has done is fill in the blanks with "this is blank"
let me just test catch spin again
seems to work here but I did spot a typo OnStop needs the word String before it.

Ok Great, thanks for Clarifying. By the way i have just been able to complete the porting of your "Detune" Plugin to Macos for apple silicon . I will share the .bundle file with you if you or anyone needs it : )

oh good on both counts,
send me the pm & I'll submit it on to the plugin review devs.
there is a problem with code blocks on this site. If you copy from the button it removes the RETURN chars, and that kind of makes sense some times like script when you user return to make it more readable, it's doesn't make sense for skin xml when you want to keep that readability , and it causes big problems for this plugin as RETURN chars actually mean end of entry.
So copy & pasting from this thread, drag - highlight - ctrl+c - ctrl+v
