Discussion about virtualFX
This might change things for you, it might not. This is the bare bones of a plugin, you add the meat.
It actually, in a way, reflects how c++ plugins work.
Read on and it'll start making sense.
*Edit the initial method was over complicated, I might need to clean a few more posts, just request, I'll cook the .ini & give you a name for the .dll & .ini
free to use, but if this is something you'll use regularly, You could buy me a beer.
[beer makes stupid ideas stupid realities!]

I push any Button , but nothing open ...
Where must I put the scripts for Sliders or Buttons?
When I understand your example than I must push the Buttons (these are how Custom Buttons and Sliders) ?

use a skin custom button to enter effect strings [program], just remember the name used in "effect_string 'NAME' " has to match what you called the virtual fx

mmmhh..
I have the FX in the FX Slot and turn it on.
Costom Buttons are Other things.
How this comunicate with the Effect?

Ok I have understand now how it works.
Have test it firt on Custom Buttons in my own Skin , there are Customs in the Master FX Panel .
Now I have test it on the Default Skin.. Have seen it work only on the same Deck where the FX is in the slot , when I have the Virtual FX (EFD) in Deck 1 than I must use the Customs in Deck 1 ;-)
Ok thats a good one thing you have make , Controlling more FX at the same time , and make one FX from many ;-)
Thank You

Cool, we got there :)
yes , 3 in 1 fx are one of the things you can make with this, but there are other things you could make, like your own quick fx presets
stuff like EchoHP, EchoLP
Or maybe simple stuff like making your own 'cut' effect but swap the dials round, so beats is dial 1.
I've got an idea for code words so you can do beat timed things but any input from users with what you'd want to do or think it should do are welcome.

So I was wanting to make a bandpass filter, but the maths for the c++ is pretty involved so I made this instead.
I called it "filterBP", it uses the lp & hp filters, I might add in a quick sweep for on and off but this is nice enough.
Dial 1 is sort of frequency, dial 2 is sort of Q value, and dial 3 is resonance. Interesting to play with dials 1 & 2 at the same time.

Unreal download numbers [looking at 9k in the first 30 days], I can see general vdj downloads are up right now [suggests lots of new users] and this addon sort of games the download count as users will dl multiple copies.
but I'd love to see what kind of ideas you guys are building, there's probably loads of wonderfully weird uses I never thought of.

This one is a little different, change the name of virtualfx.dll to VTT.dll, also change virtualfx.ini to VTT.ini
and this down here is the stuff you want to copy into the .ini file
the fx toggles the negative video fx on & off in a timed way, how long inbetween is decided by dial 1

grab a copy of virtualfx, rename the dll & ini to AOVss

VERY COOL! Nice work. I'm trying to play around but as I'm screwing with some the settings / dials I have a difficult time getting it back to your defaults w/o copying the params over again. I only have 2 dials on my skin and it's a bit over my head with the FX flyout panel. Is there a reset to get back to your default? Also what's going on with the flyout and all of the buttons. This effect seems to work on the track I'm fading INTO - what's your take? I'm just cracking the surface but love the idea of what the capabilities are!

To clear all the effect_strings needs a very quick double tap on the clear button.
I kind of agree the single fx skin display could be better, but I try to make dial 3 something you might only adjust rarely.
The default settings are all dials at 12, but that's just virtualfx and not related to the "new.ini" variations, I suppose if you wanted to to could have a reset to default button on the fx, if you had a button spare.
Buttons on the fx gui for SweepNoise and some others are there to take advantage of the "get_text" action in vdj script,
anything script inside ` ` in a get_text action is converted to a number, so it means you can use variables in ways that normal scripting wouldn't allow.
But once you have built a script with get_text, you have to send that script somewhere to be called, [unfortunately there is no action like this that could call it, param_cast 'script_string'] so the string is built by the onStart and sent to a button, onStart also presses the button to call the script.
The whole thing is very open ended, so some uses I have don't use sliders or buttons at all, the fx just holds a script without using a custom button/pad/controller key. Others when called will unload themselves and call in other fx with certain presets in its place.
There's probably loads of uses I haven't even thought of yet
the one thing I'm going to update is slider update on load, just a little thing that annoys me.
thanks for the feedback.
