- Filter knobs send both regular 0-127 CC message only (unlike 1.3 firmware)
- A MIDI CC command is sent along with the Note ON command when the pitch fader is centered (so it's possible to reach the exactly the center position even using the DJTT mappings)
- Outer part of jog wheels sends Midi ON/OFF message on separate channel when in scratch mode (channel 2)

Bonus #1

Did you know that there's a factory test mode hidden in every VCI ? It's used in the factory to test all the buttons, faders, knobs and LEDs.

With 1.4 firmware: While your VCI is off, hold RIGHT ECHO+PLAY buttons (VCI-100SE mapping) and turn it on.

With previous firmwares: While your VCI is off, hold LEFT ECHO+PLAY buttons (VCI-100SE mapping) and turn it on.

damn .sat about an hour here to get this damn led working, cause i reread the features

regarding the test mode. how does it work? if i turn my vci on pressing the two buttons. what do i have to do to test the LEDs?

After you get into test mode you'll see left deck slice is lit. Press it and echo lights up keep pressing and the next button lights up. Go through the series you'll get to faders staring with the cross fader. As you move it all of the bottom buttons will light up as you move the fader back and forth. The rest of the faders and knobs go in this order:

left volume fader
Right volume fader
left pitch fader
Left EQ high
Left EQ mid
Left EQ Low
Left Filter
eft gain
Mix Level
Right gain
Level
Right EQ high
Right EQ mid
Right EQ lo
Right filter
A knob
B knob
C knob
D knob
Right pitch fader
Volume
Glitch
Len

I can't figure out the next bit. It seems you press a few lit buttons and then you get to the jog wheels. I don't see what your testing between len and when you get to the jog wheels. When your done just turn it off and back on again.

Whenever I try to write the firmware, it says "Error No 15024: Boot failed" after I press program flash. Whyy?!

Hi Guys, I'm very confused!

upgraded to 1.4 no problem, nice work on disco mode DaveX! Only thing is that my play buttons no longer work as play/pause but rather cue play... haven't found mention of this anywhere else on this thread, sorry if I missed it. Looking through the tsi file I found no cue play commands so why is this happening?

Thanks!

Did you change the delay in the advancesetup.exe file?

Hi,

I just received my firmware upgrade kit for the VCI-100.

I have a gig in about two weeks from now, and i'd love to use the new features such as the HD jog-wheels.

Would you recommend me to do the upgrade and use the latest mapping right now or should I wait until things get more stable ?

Regards.

Thanks, that's all cleared up then!

I'd recommend it, the Jog wheels and pitch faders are significantly improved. The only real problem so far seems to be the key function, so I guess it depends whether you use that or not!
