Second layer of Pad FX customizable?

  • iPad Air 5th Gen):
  • Version of operating system IOS
  • Version of djay latest
  • Hardware/controllers used DDJFLX10, DDJFLX4

Your question:
Can I customize the second layer of Pad FX in Djay pro via software settings (like the first layer) or do I have to do it via midi mapping? (in rekordbox you can customize but I couldn’t find a way to do that in djaypro, too). On the controller, you get there with SHIFT PAD FX 1/2, on the software the first layer is displayed at FX → INSTANT

Hi @turbopussy, this needs to be done via MIDI mapping.

Ok, but how do I see then which buttons have been customized with which effects? Or how do I see which effects are currently assigned?

Hi @turbopussy, to clarify, djay currently only supports 8 Instant FX per deck. So, you cannot for example add another bank of 8 different Instant FX to another Pad Mode. There is, however, a small selection of extra FX that you could map to individual buttons of your second Pad Mode layer. These include Backspin, Forwardspin, Censor, Echo Transition FX and Brake Transition FX.
