Add Filter Knob On/Off and FX Toggle (Sound Color FX)

Hi,

I would like to suggest adding an option that allows the Filter knob to function like the Sound Color FX system in Pioneer Rekordbox setups.

In Pioneer/Rekordbox systems, the same knob can control different Sound Color FX (Filter, Echo, Noise, Crush, etc.) depending on the selected mode. This makes performances more dynamic and allows DJs to creatively switch between different FX types using a single knob.

In djay Pro, the Filter knob is always active as a filter (except at the center position), and it cannot fully replace the filter behavior with another effect.

It would be great to have:

  • A selectable FX mode for the Filter knob

  • The ability to switch between Filter and other FX types

  • A proper Filter On/Off toggle

  • Full MIDI mapping support for this behavior

This would greatly improve controller flexibility and bring djay Pro closer to the performance workflow many DJs are used to in Pioneer/Rekordbox environments.

Thank you for considering this feature.

Thanks for the suggestion @n421m. I’ve share this with our dev team for consideration.

This is also similar to the Denon Sweep FX

Also similar to the Traktor Filter FX

I recently noticed an amazing stems implementation in VirtualDJ. You can assign the Filter Color FX to control stems, turning the knob to the left isolates the instrumental, and turning it to the right isolates the vocal.

Please add this too, it would be absolutely incredible. It would make stem control much more easy and fun.

Here’s the video for reference:
