Vci400, using 4 decks, setting Ducking Echo activate. Mapping has to be set for decks 1 and 3 which are the left side. This is what I came up with by truncating the mapping that was used to mimic a post fader effect before the software add a post fader effect. I thought it would work but it doesn't.

just to rememder :
leftcross ? deck all leftcross ? xxxx : : rightcross ? deck all rightcross ? xxxx : : xxxx

will do xxxx on all the decks affected to the same crossfader side as calling deck or to the calling deck only if not affected to crossfader
usefull even with more than 4 decks

@3X vars have no place with default fx, neither sides/deck really

effect_active 'ducking echo'

post fader fx before official was a patchwork, press this - turn on some fx - trigger a var, var lets the XF script know to use a variation script.

a work around but at the time that made the impossible possible, I don't know if the devs adopted any of my methods or thinking, but I believe my bodge attempt - at least - somewhat encouraged official.

All that said, after poking around new stuff, effect_stems currently isn't post fader, so the method isn't completely dead

Is it possible to work with you on reworking the mapping to fit today's software structure?...

effect_active 'ducking echo'

Ok this works on deck 1 but does not when I switch the left side to be deck 3.

because deck 1 is deck “select”.....i change this:
leftdeck ? action_deck 1 ? deck 1 effect_active ‘ducking echo’ : deck 3 effect_active ‘ducking echo’ : action_deck 2 ? deck 2 effect_active ‘ducking echo’ : deck 4 effect_active ‘ducking echo’

Because when deck 3 is leftdeck your query" leftdeck" will return 'false' for the button on deck 1
so that it will test against 2 or 4 ... and activate 4

leftcross ? deck left effect_active ‘ducking echo’ : deck right effect_active ‘ducking echo’

If button is on a deck affected to the left whenever active or not set fx on active left deck
otherwhise this is a right deck activate fx on active right deck whatever its number can be

this is working in 31-24 12-34 13-42 as well as 4 6 decks or if many decks are set 16-5432 ...
and by the way it is working both sides and any deck

because deck 1 is deck “select”.....i change this:
leftdeck ? action_deck 1 ? deck 1 effect_active ‘ducking echo’ : deck 3 effect_active ‘ducking echo’ : action_deck 2 ? deck 2 effect_active ‘ducking echo’ : deck 4 effect_active ‘ducking echo’
