VCI 400 - wannabe ean golden edition. By Akay a

[akay a]

Hello Djtechtools

i currently i am mapping a normal VCI 400, and i am trying to copy the Ean golden edition - with some extra handy features though.
Why? Because importing the vci 400 EGE would cost a lot extra duo to taxes. Also Because the upgrade kit Still isn’t available

i am going to post a Beta version of my mapping. But first i need to finish following:
- The Jog Fx (you can help me, by posting effects you think is very good)
- The Slicer mode section
- Also, is it okay to post the mapping? Because I think Djtechtools deserves money for the idea.
-few bugs

Differences between EGE and this mapping:
- No sample/remix part.
- HOTCUE section is removed and switched with loop section (I use HOTCURE on a X1, but I might just upload a map with hotcue on)
- Improved Key controls. Now with “reset key” and on/off auto key.

Done, and fully working:
- The beatslicer section
- The effect section (what is it called? With beatmasher gater and all that, from the midi fighter)
- The ability to switch between each section in the peformerence grid.

So does annyone now how to make the slicer section.
i tried making it. but eveytime i jumped back to the cue the track stopped..

Oh and also, what would be good for jog fx?
currently 3 modes are working:
Group effect: Beatmasher, gater, peak filter
Group effect: FLN-F, peak filter, reverb.
Single effect: freeze effect

i'll try it out this weekend. if you can post a video, it would help me learn your workflow/ideas behind the mapping.

Hi akay a,

Would be nice to see how close your mapping is to EGE and of course to hear how those jog FX sound like.

[akay a]

Great to hear that somebody might be interested in the mapping!
The beta won't be able for the weekend though.. sorry - unless you want it unfinished..
i am currenlty preapering myself for a test in school.

And the reason it isn't finish is The god damn slicer mode..
+ the rest jog fx.
+ small adjustments.

Does annyone know why the slicer mode isn't working?
i have tried in this way:
- Mapping the "mode" selector to set a cue point.
- The 8 buttons set as cue points, but also as Beatjump (with different values)

my problems is, that this caus the track to stop playing..

First of all I'm nod 100% sure how this EG Slicer mode is working and I hope this is logical explanation.

Track stop playing if you set CUE to any of eight buttons grid together with beatjump, I believe CUE command need to be set to button dedicated to this slicer mode so when you press That button to enter mode you directly set cue marker also. When you add this CUE be sure to set it as DIRECT with value of 1.

I just tried to overcome this somehow and actually managed it to jump back to cue on release of the button. Only thing is, it work fine when jumping for beat or more but when jumping 1/2 or less it jump back also but goes out of sync. I'll try to fix this as possible but for now you can add this settings next to beatjump to all eight buttons in performance grid.

Add in: Jump to next/Prev Cue/loop
-set as INC and check INVERT box.
-retype it as DIRECT and set value to previous.

Good going Stewe. Some erros where fix.
Now the problem is that it is actually jumping back to the HOTCUE instead of the cue..
