FAQ: Mappings for the VCI-100

[klaemo]

So, there are a bunch of mappings floating around these forums. The threads for each of them are pretty long and confusing for beginners and I've read more and more questions about the differences.
In this post I just want to summarize in a few words which mapping might be the best for YOUR VCI-100.

The features of the mappings are explained in detail in the specific threads (just follow the links).

You're using Traktor Pro 2.x (preferably the newest version available):
There are the following options:

• VCI-100SE v4.1 Mapping for Traktor Pro 2
  
  • latest official DJTT mapping
  • solid and well tested
  • takes advantage of Traktor Pro 2's new features, like sample decks
  • might not work reliably with firmware versions below 1.4
• VCI-100SE v4.1 Mapping for Traktor Pro 2 with old-school FaderFX mode (by klaemo)
  
  • based on the DJTT v4.1 mapping
  • only change: uses two seperate effects units for fader fx mode instead of only one
  • solid and well tested
  • might not work reliably with firmware versions below 1.4
• VCI-100 JogFX Mapping for Traktor Pro 2 (by klaemo)
  
  • based on the DJTT v4.1 mapping
  • brings the awesome jog fx presets of DJTT's NI S2 mapping to the VCI-100
  • not complete (4 deck support doesn't work well)
  • most likely doesn't with firmware versions below 1.4
• VCI-100SE 3.6.4 Mapping for Traktor Pro 2
  
  • official DJTT mapping
  • solid and well tested
  • was not specifically built for Traktor Pro 2
  • should work reliably with firmware versions below 1.4

You're using Traktor Pro 1.x:

• VCI-100SE Mapping (3.6.4)
  
  • official DJTT mapping
  • solid and well tested
  • last official DJTT mapping for Traktor Pro 1

I'v read something about different firmware version for the VCI-100. What's up with that?
The original VCI-100 came with either firmware version 1.1 or 1.2.
DJTT developed 1.3 and 1.4, which fix a lot of bugs and add new features.
If you want to use one of the newer mappings, I urge you to upgrade to firmware 1.4 as it will get you the most reliable results.

And for older versions.

Please, let me know if I should add anything to the list or if I made mistakes.

It doesn't cover the newer mappings, though, does it?

Thanks so much for creating this thread =D I had somehow completely missed your s2 style jogfx mapping.
been working on my own version (and failing horribly) for 2 days now and this totally saved me from wasting
more time...

a little more info would be nice. what doesn't work?
did you use the big import button and import it twice...restart traktor and all that?

[gonekrazy3000]

@tuckerdgreat:- Like klaemo said some info would be nice.... however. I think i know
what your problem is. after importing the mapping using the big import button make sure
to assign the midi in and out ports to "vestax vci 100". that should make the controller work for
you sometimes importing a mapping keeps them on n/a and the controller just doesnt work.

hi i appreciate ur help....theres a few things not workin here...i corrected the ports....now sum of the knobs turn...the meters go up and down (to show sound)...there are no faders (including cross fader)...and there are no output levels on the (top) main out put..so i am not getting any sound....also if i close the settings box and reopen the device set up defaults to traktor 2 pro mapping

thank you
