Topic: Controller Mapping Question: Apply stem effect while pressed only
RaddiksPRO SubscriberMember since 2023
Hey everybody! First a huge thanks in helping me learn this amazing software. The community has been super helpful 👍

Since I have a hardware mixer, my knowledge of VDJ's FX is limited. I'm trying to apply an FX to specific stems whenever I push my encoder in. (Midi Fighter Twister) I've created the following action:

deck 1 padfx "Echo" 50% stemfx:vocal while_pressed


It acts only as a toggle for the echo effect and the while_pressed doesn't make a difference. It would be amazing if it could shut back off when the key is in the off state. Could anyone help with this one?

change "while_pressed" to
smart_pressed

I believe your script looks almost perfect

Only need to add quotes around the "stemfx:vocal" also for it to work

deck 1 padfx "Echo" 50% "stemfx:vocal" while_pressed

Thanks for the responses guys! I gave them both a shot:

deck 1 padfx "Echo" 50% "stemfx:vocal" smart_pressed


But it still behaves exactly like:

deck 1 padfx "Echo" 50%


Only toggles the FX when pushed, but doesn't untoggle when released. Also "stemfx:vocal" still applies the FX to the whole channel.

Any other suggestions please?

In case anyone ever runs into this issue with a midi fighter twister, I reuploaded the config file in the MF Utility app. Now the mapping:

deck 1 padfx "Echo" 50% "stemfx:vocal" smart_pressed


Works as intended. Thanks again to the community for your help!

So, this will now work? I can simply hold button and release when I need and stems vocals toggles?
