Both Scratch Buttons kill Jogwheels - on purpose?

Is this normal?

I have the 1.4FW arcade modded version. I was experimenting with whether or not I prefer to use the outer plastic rim for tempo nudging or turning off Scratch Mode entirely and using the whole platter when I stumbled upon this: Pressing both Scratch buttons while lit green disables the jog wheels entirely. The Scratch buttons stay lit green but the jog wheels' LEDs go dark. When I press them both again the jog wheels' LEDs come back on and everything works again.

Anyone else experienced this? Is there any reason why I would want to disable the jog wheels entirely while mixing?

it works perfectly fine on my vci100 with 1.4 firmware without scratch mode only the centre of the jogs adjusts pitch

that happens for me when i turn off scratch mode too, but can you make the jog wheels go dark by pressing both scratch buttons at the same time? just wondering if this is a bug or a feature.

yup when pressing both scratch buttons the jog leds turn off on mine aswell so guess it must be a feature like disco mode when pressing the slice and echo on the left deck when turning the unit on

It's a feature. Try putting your VCI close to a bass speaker with a bass heavy tune playing for a clue why

that

i think that's why mapping anything to those buttons cause problems too, as it's an internal firmware/hardware thing
