effect "Echo" slider 1 0% ? effect "Echo" slider 1 1.0% : effect "Echo" slider 1 -0.1%

I use the echo effect more as a delay, but at 0% it flattens the sound lower even than there being no effect, so I want it to jump up to 1% or something like that when I get to 0% (actually it will be when it gets to 0.1%) (it will actually be even more complicated than this but I haven't decide what I want)

It currently minus' 0.1% but it won't jump back upto 1% when I want it to.

I think I don't really get what you are trying to achieve, but have you tried playing around with the "param_equal" verb?

Sth. like this maybe:

effect "Echo" & param_equal 0% ? slider 1 1% : slider 1 -0.1%


This should be mapped to the slider encoder.

maybe something like...

effect select 'echo' & effect slider 1 & param_cast 'percentage' & param_smaller 2% ? effect slider 1 1% : effect slider 1

not sure if it'll work, and haven't tested it.

I think param casting isn't necessary here.
At least, that is how I understand the Wiki:

param_equal : check if the value of the calling slider/encoder/button is equal to something: 'param_equal 50% ? key_lock off : pitch'

Your absolutely correct.. Sorry brain fart ;-)

param_smaller 2% ? effect 'echo' slider 1 1% : effect 'echo' slider 1

that's all you need.

I couldn't get either of those to work, but I'm not great at reading between the lines with syntax

I do something similar with the deck levels with no problem
deck 1 level 0% ? deck 1 level 100% : deck 1 level -3.33%

this button drops the volume level but if volume is at 0% it jumps back up to 100% so it is a little like a jog wheel

What I essentially trying for is a button that drops the echo slider 1 upto the point of 0.1% if I press the the button further then the slider jumps upto a higher level (or the effect turns off)
I'll try again using the main effect *edit still no joy.

the second one I wrote was for an absolute fader/knob.. maybe this:

effect select 'echo' & effect slider 1 0% ? effect slider 1 100% : effect slider 1 -2.5%

if you use 3.33 it won't ever reach 0

Nope still no joy, I think I may have to abandon the idea, perhaps completely familiarise myself to what 0.1% echo sounds like so I don't go under, or maybe skin a blinking warning light to come on when echo = 0.1% (I've skinned similar warnings on the filter before [!=50%] because it kept catching me out)

what do you use, a keyboard, a controler...?
You want this mapper for un knob, a slider, a fader?

Laptop keyboard, one key, Like I said I had a similar thing working with the deck levels (one key brings the volume level down until it gets to 0% and then it jumps up to 100%) but it doesn't seem to work the same way for an effect slider, (or I made a typo but I don't think I did)
