Try this..
action="effect select 'brake' & effect active & effect slider 1 50%"
This will activate the Fx too.
In case you want just the slider to adjust, without activating the Fx, try..
action="effect select "brake" & effect slider 1 50%"
action="effect select 'brake' & effect active & effect slider 1 50%"
This will activate the Fx too.

yo djDAD thanks for the VB script fix.....
it works as i thought it would....this virtual dj is pretty slick with hotkeys now!!!
you ever seen some of the chop n screw videos out there i like this one
was wondering if that was produced by VIRTUAL DJ..?? ive heard of serrato but will never use it...and i played with a version
of traktor but that program does not compare to Vdj!!!!
i like the video effects that are timed with the sound effects especially the multi color
here is the link

If you edit the XML file directly (Not recommended - You should preferably use the CONFIG -> Mappers dialogue in VirtualDJ to add/change mappings), then characters such as ", ' and & have special meanings in XML. You must use ", ' and & respectively, otherwise the syntax of XML file will be invalid and it may fail to load/work.
E.g: The above should be:
<map value="M" action="effect select "brake" & effect active & effect slider 1 50%" />
It's much easier to change this from CONFIG -> Mappers, because VirtualDJ will then do this special encoding for you automatically.

That is because the syntax of your mapping is incorrect. & must be used to chain several actions together, e.g:
show_pluginpage "Sound Effects" & effect "flanger" slider 1 +6
(Assuming you were trying to increase the 1st slider of flanger by 6.)
show_pluginpage "Sound Effects" & effect "flanger" slider 1 +6
(Assuming you were trying to increase the 1st slider of flanger by 6.)

i have a numark ns6 and i would love to change the action for the beat grid 3 and 4 buttons to activate the brake affect, 3 its on the left deck and 4 its on the right deck, can u help me whit the code for the mapper, i tryed the ones above but they dont work, it just shows the effect selection mini window but it doesnt activate the effect.

this will turn the effect on and off
effect 'brake' active
I use this for a fill as it wont stop the track only pause it for as long as you hold the button
down ? effect 'brake' active on : effect 'brake' active off & play
