Controls not included in this mapping

- PADS: Slicer/Slicer Loop

- PADS: FX

.. note::
When using **Firmware v1.68** and earlier, each FX pad will
send multiple and different Note and CC messages. As these could not all
be used properly with Mixxx current effect framework, the pads have not
been assigned in this mapping. \* However, after applying **Firmware
v1.72**, each FX pad now sends a simple Note On/Note Off (as is the case
in every other Pad mode). This would make it easier to use the pads to
control effect and the mapping might be modified eventually to take
advantage of this possibility.
