VCI-100 FW 1.1 Jog Wheel Scratch Issue
Hello,
I am very new to the vci-100 and traktor pro combo...
I have trakor scratch pro and vestax vci-100 firmware 1.1. I will be ordering the firmware upgrade kit very soon. However, in the meantime, I would like to use trackor scratch pro and my vci-100 to practice scratching.
My problem is that when i import the controller mappings (which i found on these fourms) the jog wheel never scratches properly like it did in traktor LE. The jogwheel just bends the pitch. I assume that this is because the mappings are probably made for vci-100's with more up-to-date firmware.
I tried the learning option in traktor scratch pro but there was no luck as I dont know what the hell im doing there :P
All the other buttons work fine, its just the proper vinyl sound im trying to get in traktor scratch pro...

In your MIDI setup preference pane, add a command for "Scratch On", make sure it says "button", with a type of "hold". Use midi learn and touch the metal part of the jog wheel. Without releasing your finger, turn off the midi learn box. Next, create a command for "Scratch". Make sure it says "direct" with a type of "Rotary 3h...etc" Make sure to use the one with the 3 in it. (I don't have my VCI-100 with me for holidays so forgive me for not remembering the exact details). Turn on midi learn and while holding the metal part of the wheel, rotate it. You should get a CC16 or something close. Close out the preference pane and try to scratch. That should do it. Keep in mind that the pitch bending may still be active while scratching unless you delete or re-assign those commands. I'm not really sure how or if TPro affects the well known ramp-up issue in VCI-100 firmware 1.1, but I'll have access to my controller by next Monday, and can send you the exact details. Alternately, you can always download and import one of the many great tsi's from the Controller Mappings section of DJTT, most of them have scratching programmed already.

The VCI-100 is not really built for heavy, detailed scratching. I, personally, don't think there is any MIDI controller yet that can match the detail of vinyl.
Now that Traktor is supporting 14-bit MIDI a controller that transmits with 14-bit will make it a LOT more detailed.

I am not sure on this but I don't think you can use FS Open with Traktor Pro. Like I said, not definite, but I'm pretty sure.
