    Default Newb help. Controller not controlling.

    So I finally have Audio 2dj and traktor pro setup on the laptop. I plugged in the VCI and it's powered on but not controlling anything. I can control traktor pro with the mouse, but the vci isn't controlling anything. What am I doing wrong? I checked system preferences and it's recognizing the vci, just nothing is happening....

    when you do something on the vci, does the midi light come on (its up top next to where it says audio).

    Which mapping for the VCI do you have imported?
    Which version of traktor pro are you using?

    Yes. When I tap the jog wheels the light flashes. I"m not sure which version. The VCI is the latest mapping with the SE overlay.

    WTF I"m confused.

    Not sure if it will help but try re-importing the TSI file. Also try making sure you have the VCI powered up before you open Traktor.

    Tried powering up. But what exactly do I need to do to import the TSI file. I bought the gear used so I'm starting from scratch. Sorry to sound like an idiot....

    Sounds like you dont have the right version of traktor (1.2.4)


    Go to help: About Traktor

    It will tell you what you have. If you dont have 1.2.4, you need to update.

    If you haven't yet, go here to grab the mapping:

    http://www.djtechtools.com/wp-conten...CI-1003_41.zip

    I think in another one of your posts you said you were using a mac. If that's the case (command ,) will open the preferences window. Click on "controller manager" then at the bottom of the window you should see a button labeled "import." Click it and navigate to where ever you put the download from djtechtools. Then select file labeled VCI-1003_4.tsi. Taktor should then show you a list of options. Click ok and you should be good to go. For the sake of tidyness I always move the tsi files to the appropriate VCI-100 folder in Traktor's midi mapping folder. After that you might have to restart traktor for it to take effect.

    I hope that's reasonably clear and that it gets you started.

    i get the feeling this is the whole reason for the problem. the vci itself is useless without a)a computer and software and b) the settings file in the software to run it. the mapping lives in your computer, not the controller. the controller just sends signals, the tsi tells traktor what these signals do.

    in traktor open the preferences box, at the bottom of it click the 'import' button, navigate to the tsi file on your computer, select it, open it, sorted

    you can get the tsi file here if you haven't already got it http://www.djtechtools.com/midi-map/

    i'm assumin that if you bought one with se overlay that is upgraded to 1.3 firmware and will run the maps in the link.

    Yes I have one with the 1.3 overlay.

    I've downloaded the TSI file and imported it via preferences in Traktor Pro.

    My Traktor Pro is Version 1.0.0.250, is this the problem maybe as Sine 143 said?

    Can I update my version online?
