Available Effect Slots
on any single deck or deck master,
Any number >= 1 to ∞ , available even if not visible on skin
releasefx , release slot has zero difference to any numbered slot
video , as well as video_fx_* verbs the video slot can be manipulated like any regular slot
no slot at all, with no slot specified some cases will assume slot 1 but with an effect named and no slot specified it just an fx not on slot
on any single deck
colorfx ,
Any of the stems
or the composite stems
Specialist slots that do not need a deck specifier
audioOnlyVisualisation , to switch on you only have to select, to switched off you have to effect_select audioOnlyVisualisation none
sampler ,
mic ,
aux ,
mixfx , as well as effect_mixfx* verbs the mixfx slot can be manipulated like any regular slot
effect_select
effect_select on its own with open a popup for effect_slot 1
effect_select echo will load echo onto slot 1
effect_select 2 echo will load echo onto slot 2
effect_select 2 0.5 will load whatever fx is in the middle of the current list onto slot 2
effect_select 2 3 will load whatever fx is 3rd of the current list onto slot 2
effect_select +1 will load whatever fx is next in the current list onto slot 1
effect_select 2 +1 will load whatever fx is next in the current list onto slot 2
When effect_select kicks the previous effect off slot to make way for the new fx, the old fx will also switched off.
effect_select_multi
Exactly the same as effect_select with the exception that the effect kicked off the slot is not switched off
effect_select_toggle
Almost identical to effect_select but the fx active state of the fx being kicked off slot is inherited by the new fx.
effect_select_popup
Again very similar to effect_select, whereas applying effect_select to a dial blindly steps through the list, effect_select_popup will also open the drop down menu.
effect_active
effect_active will toggle fx slot 1
effect_active 4 will toggle fx slot 4
effect_active echo will toggle echo fx unslotted
effect_active 2 echo will place echo on to slot 2 and toggle the state
effect_active on will turn fx slot 1 on
effect_active -1 will toggle fx slot 1
effect_active 2 toggle will toggle fx slot 2 on
effect_active echo toggle will toggle echo fx
effect_active echo `param_equal 1 1` echo fx on state will follow the result of the script query
effect_show_gui
effect_show_gui toggle the gui of fx on slot 1

effect_show_gui echo toggle the gui of echo fx
effect_show_gui toggle toggle the gui of fx on slot 1
effect_show_gui 2 toggle toggle the gui of fx on slot 2
effect_show_gui echo -1 toggle the gui of echo fx
effect_slider
effect_slider retrieve the value of slot 1 slider 1
effect_slider 2 retrieve the value of slot 1 slider 2
effect_slider 2 1 retrieve the value of slot 2 slider 1
effect_slider echo 1 retrieve the value of echo fx slider 1
effect_slider 0.1 set the value of slot 1 slider 1 to 0.1
effect_slider 2 0.1 set the value of slot 1 slider 2 to 0.1
effect_slider 3 2 0.1 set the value of slot 3 slider 2 to 0.1
effect_slider echo 2 0.1 set the value of echo fx slider 2 to 0.1
effect_slider_active
Identical to effect_slider except used in skins for touch active sliders.
effect_button
effect_button toggle slot 1 button 1
effect_button 2 toggle slot 1 button 2
effect_button 2 1 toggle slot 2 button 1
effect_button echo 1 toggle echo fx button 1
effect_button off slot 1 button 1 off
effect_button echo 3 on echo fx button 3 on
effect_beats
effect_beats retrieve the beats value for slot 1
effect_beats 2 retrieve the beats value for slot 2
effect_beats echo retrieve the beats value for echo fx
effect_beats 0.333 set the beats value for slot 1
effect_beats 2 0.333 set the beats value for slot 2
effect_beats echo 0.333 set the beats value for echo fx
effect_beats +1 set the beats for slot 1 to the next highest preset
effect_beats 2 +1 set the beats for slot 2 to the next highest preset
effect_beats echo +1 set the beats for echo fx to the next highest preset
effect_beats_all
effect_beats_all as a retrieve it will only get the beats of slot 1 and assume all others are the same
effect_beats_all 1.5 set all effects that support effect beats to a value this case 3/2
effect_beats_all +1 set all effects that support effect beats to the next highest preset
effect_string
effect_string as a query will return slot 1 string 1, as an action will blank slot 1 string 1
effect_string 6 1 as a query will return slot 6 string 1, as an action will blank slot 6 string 1
effect_string 'some text'set slot 1 string 1
effect_string 2 1 'some text'set slot 2 string 1
effect_string text 2 'some text'set text fx string 2
