Does
[QuickEffectRack1_[ChannelX]_Effect1],"next_effect"
[QuickEffectRack1_[ChannelX]_Effect1],"prev_effect"
work for you?

not at all, I have tried every combinations found with the group Effectrack (effect_selector,next_effect,prev_effect, etc.... without any success.
There is no error message in the debug windows saying "that function does not exist".

This is the effect button in the equalizer part of the skin and it seems it can be changed only via
options -> Settings --> equalizer ->quick effect.

In fact, in the source code, there is no control conect other than the "super1".

Ah yes, I can confirm that these controls are not working for Quick effects.

Hint:
You can see and access all controls in the developer menu, when you start Mixxx with the --developer flag.

Please tell us mode about your use case.

Th quick effect was designed for controllers with a "fixed" filter knob.
I think that's why you can currently only change the loaded effect by preferences.

On my Reloop Beatpad controller I have a knob for each channel labelled "FX Select" .

In non shift mode, I mapped this knob in my mapping in order to select an effect in an effect rack, I would like to do the same for the quick effect rack t, while pressing the shift button.

I have, per channel, two "Super knobs", I use one (labelled "FX Param") for the Effect Racks, and the other (labelled "Filter") for the Quick effect.

While mixing, you can put side by side one hand on the FX Select, and the other hand on one of the Super knob, or even of on the two Super buttons.

Powerfulll...

I have four Pads also, when they are in "Instant FX" mode, pressing one activates the effect loaded in the corresponding effect rack.
Shift+Pad, selects the effect rack to be modified by the "FX Select" knob.
What is a bit ugly there is that the user has no visual feedback about wich efect rack is currently selected for the "FX Select", here came the idea of a free text zone available in the skin for the scripting engine.

summary: - Hava a way to change the effect of the QuicEffectRack via js scripting.
