switch from firmware 1.4 to 1.2 w/o reflashing?

I know you can switch from 1.3 to 1.2 by following the steps in this video:

but how can you switch from 1.4 to 1.2?

I need to do this to use my VCI-100 SE (that I just bought from dylooon) in Mixxx which has mappings for the VCI-100 but, for example doesn't work with the pitch faders (oddly most everything else works)

I have searched and read a lot of the common questions about firmware thread but I'm not seeing this answer anywhere. Sorry if this is in the FAQ or already posted.

I'd suggest simply remapping the pitch faders, rather than throwing away all the features of 1.4. With 1.2 you get several buttons that are locked to each other (very annoying), and miss out on the hi-resolution jogs and pitch faders.

hmm. I tried using the MIDI Learning Wizard in Mixxx to do that and it does allow one pitch fader to work (though the pitch is reversed) the other pitch fader jumps from one end of the range to the other and has no granular control at all. if I do map this it will be a bit more complicated I think. I may have to look at the sniff the MIDI messages that the 1.4 firmware is sending (or look at the documentation for 1.4 firmware, if it exists )

This is why I just wanted to try the stock 1.2 firmware with Mixxx.

How will I use the 4 deck/pitch fader features of 1.4 firmware if Mixxx only has two decks? or, will that functionality make using this firmware on Mixxx more difficult?

You switch it the same way.

obviously you can't use 4 decks, I think the 4 deck mode uses modifiers in traktor so won't exist in mixxx unless you map it... which of course you can't. Does mixxx mapping support modifiers?

Well, I tried holding down those small black buttons in top left and booting it up and nothing seemed to change.

I did manage to get disco mode to work which was kinda fun.. but not what I'm looking for ultimately ;-)

Mixxx has a full Javascript-based scripting system. You can make any button act as a "shift" button, or even combinations of buttons if you so choose to script it that way .

sweet!

Mixxx has something more advanced than Traktor mapping modifiers. It can run a script to control multiple functions within Mixxx

BTW, internally Mixxx has 4-decks, we just don't have a skin yet. An official skin w/ 4 decks should be out "soon" in a future release.
