DJ FX Plugin
The new DJ FX Plugin for Scratch Live gives you complete control with 2 FX units - each with 3 chained effects per unit.
Each effect can be controlled by one Super Knob when in Performance Mode or you can tweak each individual parameter in Advanced Mode. For the most advanced users you can even create your own unique effect sounds by mapping parameters to the Super Knob while in Edit Mode.
To use the new free DJ FX Plugin, go to the Plugins tab on the setup screen, then choose DJ FX Plugin and check enable DJ FX plugin.
When the plugin is enabled, the DJ FX panel button will appear on the main screen next to the Record panel button.
By default the DJ FX panel will open in Performance Mode. When in performance mode, you will have the most efficient control of your FX with one control knob per effect. Press the Advanced Mode button on the right hand side of the DJ FX panel to open Advanced Mode Which allows you to control each individual effect parameter and link and unlink them from the Super Knob.
DJ FX - Performance Mode
You can have up to 3 effects loaded and chained per effect unit at a time. Each effect unit has a [b]Super Knob[/b] which controls the amount of each effect.
DJ FX - Advanced Mode
Advanced mode exposes the individual parameters for each effect. Each parameter knob can be controlled with the mouse or can be mapped to a MIDI controller using MIDI learn.
You can also link or unlink a parameter from the Super Knob by pressing the Link Button.
DJ FX - Edit Mode
Super tweak-heads can create macro mappings for each effect by pressing the Edit Button while in Advanced Mode. When in Edit Mode more controls appear which allow you to create and change parameter mappings to the Super Knob.
To map a parameter to the Super Knob:
- First unlink the parameter that you want to map to the super knob.
- Move the Super Knob to the position that you want the parameter to start mapping from.
- Move the Parameter Knob to the position that you want the to be the lowest value of the parameter.

Now move the Super Knob and you will see the parameter knob move to the range that you just specified.

MusicScratchLiveEffects folder, they can use your effect on their computer.
