Topic: How to get a Echo out Release FX
I saw this video online about being able to run a Release FX on the FLX4, like a backspin out or a Echo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRwmv5vxKQQ&list=PLCBPnj3xS_K4-vMhc5CC8BgwgX40VZO_3&index=8
This appears to be a built in mapping.

On VirtualDJ, however, SHIFT_FX_ON has no Action in its factory mapping, so it is doing the same thing as FX_ON.
I would like to be able to do an echo (or any other type of 'release effect' like in the video shown) on the deck which I am hitting the shift button on for SHIFT_FX_ON. How can I do this?

That's not built in mapping, it's a midi note like every other button, then a mapping in rekordbox.
 
try this
down ? effect_active backspin : deck all effect_disable_all

My bad, I used bad wording. I meant factory software mapping, as opposed to something which the user mapped custom themselves.

Thank you for your answer,, this works for me!
 
If u want to emulate the Release FX of Rekordbox, best would be to use the 'releasefx' FX Slot , so that the Track "slips" while enabled.
You can use all the effect_ actions like .. effect_select 'releasefx' (to select the Release FX) , effect_active 'releasefx' (to activate the selected Release FX), effect_active 'releasefx' while_pressed etc and probably combine with the effect_disable_all action too as above

After selecting the Release FX , use .. effect_disable_all & effect_active 'releasefx' while_pressed on a custom button to check

I'm a bit confused on how to use the 'ReleaseFX' functionality on VirtualDJ. When I click the options in that slot, it appears to be opening a video panel. I'm not trying to do anything video related.

The SHIFT FX is problematic. There might be something wrong in the MIDI mapping itself, I have trouble with the light, I'll come back exactly with the problem.

In the meantime, this is the FLX4 Mapping I use for this: I put the RFX in slot 3 so it can be seen in standard skins.
I also changed the DDJ400 variable to the one below to manage the selection switch which was useless (if I remember well...) I'm slowly building a FLX4 to go with all the changes I had to do with the mapping to be more consistent with the intended use.

<map value="SHIFT_FX_ON" action="down ? deck left var 'DDJFLX4FX' ? deck right var 'DDJFLX4FX' ? ( deck all effect_active 1 off &amp; deck all effect_active 3 on ) : ( deck left effect_active 1 off &amp; deck left effect_active 3 on ) : ( deck right effect_active 1 off &amp; deck right effect_active 3 on ) : deck all effect_active 3 off" />

I'm not sure what you're referring to.
I tried to take a look at the xml for the skin I'm using but not sure exactly what to paste.

For reference, I am using the skin Vanced GT
 
Hmm, looked again at it, but this seems strange to me, but maybe one of y'all might know better.

The options showing up under releasefx for deck 1 are different than the options under releasefx for deck 2.
