What could be the incredible Pioneer's mixtables like DJM2000 without their awesome effects ? I can not imagine.
What could be the best DJ software in the world, I mean VDJ of course, with such effects as Pioneer ones ? Here, I can imagine !
I'll try to achieve this target by developping audio plugins : easy to use for a maximum of effects...

 BFX --> Updated Pioneer Beat FX for VDJ8

Sun 13 Sep 20 @ 8:09 pm

Inspired from the Pioneer EFX-1000 or DJM-2000, all Beat FX have the same number of parameters :
--> 8 buttons to select the BPM : (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1) OR (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1)+(2beats, 4 beats, 8 beats)
If a beat select button is then pressed, the effect is newly synchronized to the corresponding multiple of the BPM (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, etc.), thus allowingone-touch change of the BPM synchronization multiple.
--> 1 FADER * whose functionality depends on the effect :
* either it is a X-fader to crossfade the original sound and the effect one. Rotate to adjust the mixing balance of original and effect sounds. When rotated fully to the [ORIGINAL] side, the original (un-effected) sound will be output; as the dial is rotated toward the [EFFECT] side, the effect sound is amplified and the original sound decreases.
* or it is a a threshold to select the crests of the sound

*************************************************************************************************************************************** 3 KINDS OF DELAY

BFX-DELAY : Adds one delay sound to the original sound.

BFX-DELAY PAN: Adds one panned delay sound from left to right channel to the original sound .

BFX-DELAY REVERSE : In time with BPM, outputs repeat sound in reverse of playback direction

*************************************************************************************************************************************** 7 KINDS OF ECHO

BFX-ECHO : Adds several delayed sounds to the original sound.
Tips&Tricks : X-fader completely clockwise create a Echo Out, even if the track is stopped.

BFX-ECHO PINGPONG: Outputs a delay sound with different delay times for the left (1 delay) and right (2 delays) channels while attenuating it according to the beat, producing a stereo-like effect.
Tips&Tricks : X-fader completely clockwise create a Echo Out, even if the track is stopped.

BFX-ECHO PITCH : Changes the pitch of the delayed sounds. The echo is a multiple of 1/8 to 1/1 BPM (5 first buttons) during 2 until 8 beats (3 last buttons).
Tips&Tricks : X-fader completely clockwise create a Echo Out, even if the track is stopped.
The multiple of Bpm can be changed during the echo playing
Each time you touch the 2-4-8 beats button, you create a new echo

BFX-ECHO RAMP : The echo is a multiple of 1/8 to 1/1 BPM (5 first buttons). When you change the multiple BPM, the echo increases/decreases progressively during 2 until 8 beats (3 last buttons). This FX is called ramp delay as well.
Tips&Tricks : X-fader completely clockwise create a Echo Out, even if the track is stopped.

BFX-ECHO CREST: Adds several delay sounds to the crests of the original sound only (above the threshold).
Tips&Tricks : X-fader completely clockwise create a Echo Out, even if the track is stopped.

BFX-ECHO GATE : combines both the echo and gate effects (see BFX-Echo and CFX-Gate explanantion)
Tips&Tricks : X-fader completely clockwise create a Echo Out, even if the track is stopped.

BFX-ECHO LOOP : The echo is a multiple of 1/8 to 1/1 BPM (5 first buttons). The echo lasts from 2 until 8 beats (3 last buttons) and changes every 2 until 8 beats.
Tips&Tricks : X-fader completely clockwise create a Echo Out, even if the track is stopped.

*************************************************************************************************************************************** OTHER BEAT FX
BFX-ROLL : This functions record the input sound at the point at which the plugin is activated (8 beats are recorded whatever the beat button's fraction when the plugin is activated) and repeats the recorded sound according to the beat button's fraction.
Tips&Tricks : keep working even if the track is stopped.

BFX-ROLL SLIP : This functions record the input sound at the point at which the plugin is activated (8 beats are recorded whatever the beat button's fraction is when the plugin is activated) and repeats the recorded sound according to the beat button's fraction. BUT when the effect time changes, the input sound is recorded again.
Tips&Tricks : keep working even if the track is stopped.

BFX-STUTTER : on each beat, this functions outputs until 8 repeats a beat, according to the beat button's fraction.

BFX-FLANGER : By applying a time-shifted sound to the original, the effect of an ascending or descending jet plane (flange effect) is produced, according to the beat button's fraction..

BFX-PHASER : Causes a phase effect by applying a phaseshifted sound to the original sound, according to the beat button's fraction..

BFX-LEVEL : The original sound goes down and up according to the beat button's fraction.
