Tópico: Legacy Echo's Name?
with the awesome new features of VDJ 2026, I find that some of my previous scripts are not working.

for example:
effect_active 3 'echo' on
now does not work, with VDJ 2026 build 8945 but works, if I use an older build 8909.

I assume its because maybe the legacy "echo" goes by a different scripting name now.
If so how does one reference the legacy "echo" with script?


Is there list of the naming conventions of similarly named effects?






Note: I do have the legacy "echo" effect, in slot 3.
(not the new echo, with the same name, which has different parameters)

Legacy echo:



New Echo:

Did you select the "legacy" effect list on slot 3?
 

Thanks for the quick reply.

yes have selected the Legacy "echo" for slot 3.

testing with custom button script on deck 2:
effect_active 3 'echo' on ? effect_active 3 'echo' off : effect_active 3 'echo' on

the above script works great for build 8909.... but does NOT work with 2026's build 8945.

Note: the above script on build 8945 does indeed turn on and off the NEW echo, which can be selected either from either the "Default" list or the Full List.
I wish to use the Legacy Echo, selected from the Legacy List.

How do I script the "Legacy echo" in VDJ 2026? I like the "Mute Source" of the legacy echo, seems not to be there on the NEW Echo.

Can you test to see if it works for you, and maybe its only my system that is having this issue, for some reason?





PS for me the New Echo does not produce any "echo".. can you check that the New Echo is working as expected?
 

update: the above custom button script on deck 2, does do something.. but its unclear what it does since it does not enable the Echo on slot 3. (which if the echo is enabled manually, the legacy echo works perfectly, how can one enable the legacy echo with script)

and, using the script effect_active 3 'echo' on seems to decrease the volume a bit, but it definitely is not an echo effect, and does NOT enable the Legacy echo on slot 3.

Is there any other Option that should be checked?

Note: Parameters for the legacy echo are set as pictured above.
