Topic: filter leaves a bit of audio at full left or full right (b8678)
The deck main filter ( ColorFX ) will allow a small amount of either high or low frequencies to come through even when it is at the most left or right position.

This has been like this for a while but wasn't the case in earlier versions and is unwanted in mix situations or with loud sound systems.

The filter should really go to zero sound at the extreme knob settings as it has always been before.

I hope this can be fixed or at least a full zero option can be added ( like with the regular eq's)
Thank you.

anyone? as this is unwanted behaviour

Filter leaks sub or hight frequencies even when closed. ( knob at max left or right )

I don't think that is a general rule for Filters. So I'd say it depends on the flavor of filter
I personally HATE filters that totally mute the audio. That is too risky in use
 
Just write an rsi to mute when the filter hits 0.0 or 1.0 and unmute at other positions.
 
AFAIK I've never experienced a DJ mixer with full kill filter knobs.

To verify this/refresh my memory, I just quickly tried the filter knob on my DJM-S11 with an analog source (vinyl record) and Serato using DVS - in all cases there was residual frequencies (HPF and LPF).

As @locodog stated, OP can map that behavior if desired, but what OP is asking for is not the norm nor is it a bug in VirtualDJ imo.

For EQs on the other hand - I have seen full kill EQ knobs before.
 
Thanks kindly for your replies. You guys are right. I just tried it on b9678 and the behaviour is the same!
So I stand corrected.

However I think it will help in creating even smoother transitions so I will ask this in de feature request area as an option ( Just like with the EQ's )

Thanks for your reply locoDog. Can you provide the syntax for this feature?
Preferably so that the filter has the same behaviour as normal and this kicks in at the extremes?

And it should take the mute off when a the filter values change back to audible values or when a new song is loaded

much appreciated
 
I'd probably map the dial to something like this.

filter & effect_select colorfx 'filter' ? param_equal 0.0 ? mute on : param_equal 1.0 ? mute on : mute off
