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
