Topic: Smart Fader echo out FX mode (upfaders)
Hello friends

I'm trying to set up a script on Virtual DJ to perform an action similar to the "Fader echo" function available in Engine OS since version 3.3.0

As a reminder, in Engine OS when Fader Echo is enabled, when you quickly lower a channel fader, it instantly activates an "Echo out" It is possible in the Engine OS settings to set the feedback of the echo out (in percentage) and to choose on which beat the echo out will work (1 beat, 1/2 beat, etc ...)

In the current version of Virtual DJ it is possible to obtain something similar by using the crossfader FX and choosing echo out. It works very well but only on the crossfader.

So the idea is to create a script on a button that will enable Fader Echo on the upfader of my controller (for example on Shift+vinyl)

Once the fader echo is active, it is a matter of scripting the volume upfader so that it activates Fader echo when the fader is quickly lowered like what currently exists on the crossfader by choosing Echo Out in the crossfader FX

Obviously the echo out effect should not be audible when moving the fader up.

So I have on shift+Vinyl created the script:

toggle 'echo_on_fader'

Then this script on the upfaders

var 'echo_on_fader' ? param_speed 50% ? effect_active "echo out" on & effect_slider "echo out" 1 33% & effect_slider "echo out" 2 1bt : param_bigger 2% ? effect_active "echo out" off : volume

But it doesn't seem to work properly and the volume faders don't work anymore.

Is there a simpler solution to recreate this functionality?

You can simply activate "Ducking Echo" for that

Yes the ducking echo effect is exactly what I'm looking to have.

However, can we script its activation/deactivation on a button to free the fx section for another effect ?

effects don't have to be on slot to be used.
