Effect Chains:
- Mixxx 2.4 introduces Effect Chains, a set of effects which can be saved and reloaded with all their parameters and individual Meta Knob mappings. Effect Chains can also be exported and imported, which allows you to share them with other Mixxx DJs. Once you've created an Effect Chain, you can create a custom Super Knob mapping which turns the chain into a Quick-Effect, where you take creative control with a single knob. Effect parameters can be reordered and or hidden. In the effect units, Mixxx 2.4 also displays the value and unit of effect knob parameters while they are being adjusted.
