    Default Using vci-100 with dvs system

    Hey guys,
    I've been using my vci-100 for a year now and just recently decided to "upgrade" to a dvs system (turntables + mixer + tsp). has anyone tried using the vci just to control effects, loops and cuepoints with everything else going through an actual mixer?

    the way i see it in my head right now, i would have my vci-100 on a laptop stand right on top of my mixer and turntables (where most people put their laptops), and have my laptop off to the side. I could use the turntables/mixer for mixing and go up to the vci when i want to change music/use effects/hit cuepoints etc. anyone tried something similar or have any ideas of how i should go about mapping this?

    well i´m using my vci100se plus dvs in external mode. works like a charm. i use it for browsing tracks, fx´s and cue point and stuff. no problems at all.

    @ earl... will the dvs still work in absolute mode? sorry if thats a noob question but still getting to grips with the scratch side as only upgraded to it 2 weeks ago.

    I use a BCD2000 in a similar way.
    Cue and Play buttons for loading, jogs for browsing, EQ and gain knobs n buttons for FX.... and a shed load of other functions

    Same here ... seems like a pretty common way of working

    (ok the subtlety is I use my VCi in place of mixer rather than as wel as, but heigh-ho)
