Topic: Script help please for echo out chop mix
I'm trying to create a script to do the following but can't get it to work properly.

I would like to press a button on my controller to enable Echo Out FX on the active deck and then play the cued deck simultaneously therefore creating an echo out chop mix.

Edit: changed it to this but will need to check tomorrow if it actually works or not

device_side 'left' ? deck right select & deck left effect "echo out" active & deck right play : deck left select & deck right effect "echo out" active & deck left play

As you understand it, like this

device_side 'left' ? deck right select & deck left effect_active "echo out" & deck right play : deck left select & deck right effect_active "echo out" & deck left play


but we could cut it down to this, since we're wanting echo out from the calling deck no matter the side

effect_active "echo out" & device_side 'left' ? deck right select & play : deck left select & play


And cut even further with a maths trick, to remove the side query

effect_active "echo out" & set_deck `get_deck & param_mod 2 & param_add 1` & select & play

calling from deck 1, 1 mod 2 = 1, + 1 = 2 so that's set_deck 2, deck 2 is now implied before the next commands so it isn't needed to be specified.
calling from 2, 2 mod 2 = 0, + 1 ... you know the rest
