this worked only on deck A for me what i did was duplicate the addin sratch and relearned job B but it doesn't change anything. i've also tried restarting traktor and the controller.Quote:

Another question: is it possible to reduce the tempo fader range to 4% while maintaining the 100% range while holding shift? That functionality is killer but every time I try and dial the 8% down for better precision I mess with the 100%.
BTW thanks for all the support in this thread, definitely helping me get to having fun with this thing faster!
The RCA connectors are inputs only. the Master Outs (clearly labeled) are on balanced TRS jacks or XLRs. You will need some kind of adapter to go from VCI outs into your Stereo's RCA ins. Also bear in mind VCI outputs will be referenced to +4dB while your home Stereo's inputs will be referenced to -10dB ... so trim your VCI output accordingly.Quote:

Sorry, I don't know what happened there. I will fix it when I get home. Unfortunately that might not be till tomorrow with it being St.Patricks day todayQuote:

Thanx for the reply, but I already knew about this function. It is not accurate enough for what I need it to do.
My first impression of this VCI 400 is far from my expectations. Right now I am not sure if I think it is good enough for replacing the VCI 100 arcade controller.
i'm sure you can adjust the increments at which the jog wheels track through a tune.

ive noticed that the jog wheels are acting like a tempo bend. I can spin them really fast and it will slowly bring the track up to speed. But still no scratch, someone please solve this problem for me. I dont get it, need the help from someone.

Here is my "DJ Kit K" EGE vci-400, w the white knobs added.
First weekend with the new EGE VCI-400!! SXSW 2012 in Austin.
Got mad props from on-lookers who were amazed the FX ability on the fly.
This thing is VERY sweet.
Only issues is that the Jog Wheels latency and touch just need to be fine tuned to be as accurate as possible.
Put 10 hrs in on it and ready for more.

Will it be possible to remap to the regualr vci, with normal firmware?
and will this be okay?

i'm looking to start working more with samples so the ability to chop and change the samples that are loaded will make this controller very powerful indeed.Quote:

I haven't tried but assume its possible.Quote:

I am new to Traktor and I am finding it a bit difficult to set up. First, can anyone tell me how to get sound off my headphones? The program is running but I can't seem to get my headphones to work with it. Any other advice or tips would be helpful, thanks.
its been covered quite a bit in the vci400 threads mate. make sure your monitor outputs are set to the headphone output and you have pressed cue
Seems like the djtt firmware version and mapping is a bit too complex for folks who have never touched traktor before...
i would agree. the vci-400ege is definitly a controller for those who know what they want in a controller. i learned the fundamentals on a vci-100se and grew on the s4/midi-fighter, using traktor the whole way. tomorrow my vci400ege comes (finally) and i feel like i would be overwelmed if i had to start from scratch on a controller with as many options as the 400. also it may not be the best idea to start a new hobby with such a committing purchase. get something used and cheap or use a keyboard.
Zonta,
Make sure your "Audio Setup" in preference is set to VCI 400 not Built In. Then make sure your "Output Routing" has been set as follow: "Mixing Mode" set at Internal, "Output Monitor" Monitor L and Monitor R and "Output Master" Output L and Output R, Then you will need to plug your VCI 400 unit from the 1/2 cable to your monitor speakers for main master output audio. You should have sound by now. Remember, the nice thing about the VCI - 400 is the duo headphone cue mode: Cue/Monitor all in one knob. This allow you to either only listen to your monitor only or blend both monitor and current played master track by adjusting your cue/monitor knob. You also have an independent monitor volume level know which is very nice. Good luck.
It would be awesome for Ean Golden to hold a special one day tutorial / clinic session in SF or LA for all current Vestrax VCI 400 EG edition owner. I am sure this one day will really empower all of us currently EG 400 edition owner with so much additional knowledge with this powerful controller.
got my controller yesterday and its working perfectly. couple things from the s4 i would like to see in an update for the vci400:
1. shift + sample buttons = resets sample, hit twice and the sample spot is cleared
2. shift + play = restart track
3. shift + sync = makes track master
amazing job with this controller and mapping. it is truly the controllerist's controller for those who know what they want.
Hi guys
Here are a few things that are not working by me. I have tried this on different computers and the problem seem to me to be form the TSI file. Please let me know if you're also having these problems.
--- Upper Control:
*small buttons don't seem to trigger samples more than once.
*when clicking loop with the mouse in the sample slot, the key of the loop changes
*LEDs light up after pressing FX1/FX2 although samples not playing. Plus samples are not playable.
--- Load Buttons
*loading into sample slot does not seem to load right. somehow it loads into random slots
--- Browse Section
*entering browse section with the encoder automatically activates the search
--- Scratch Mode
*scratch mode does not seem to work. activating it or turning it off does not seem to do anything
Thanks.

What version of traktor are you using. I had similar problems when I used it with 2.0.3 but everything is perfect with 2.1.2Quote:

Echo freeze is a great way to transition mixes, but with he current mapping the only access to it is via the jogfx layer setting, which means if you are using one of the other jog fx at that particular point of your mix you have to switch buttons (and your current jog effect off) to instigate the echo which is awkward and you need lightning reactions to make it work.
Having had a midifighter pro for a long time it is great to have the dedicated echo button just to hit at any point it means whatever effect you are layering on at that moment remains on and unaffected and it creates some amazing mix trail offs.
Is it possible to assign a dedicated echo freeze to say to a press down of FX DRY/WET press buttons at the top left and right of the unit, so if you are getting busy with the jog fx you can push that and the echo freeze kicks in?
What would be even more cool is if you could adjust the echo length with the dry wet button pressed still and twist it to make adjustments.
Hey guys, just joined the forum. Got my VCI 400 EGE over the weekend and had a few hours to play with it. Previously used VCI 300 + VFX 1 with Serato, and like many am a first time user of Traktor.
Everything is running smoothly, after (a) importing the mapping twice and (b) adjusting sensitivity of jog dials. Also (c) holding shift and resetting pitch faders is key, I thought I had a faulty unit at first lol! I have to say, I've never had so much fun playing around with FX, grids etc, kudos for putting this product in our hands! Can't wait to test it out in front of 300 ppl this weekend!
I look forward to the EG video explaining the mapping. I like the idea of the dedicated echo-freeze, I also have issues re-setting my FX after using jog FX (which are amazing btw!) and would like a short cut. I have not had a chance to play with the sampler much but looks like that section needs tweaking. Otherwise, PROPS DJTT & EG!!!! :thumbup:
Hi guys,
I finally had a chance to play with the VCI 400 EG and had alot of fun. What a powerful controller. Love this baby. However, I do have one issue: Once a track has been "sync" and then I try to use the pitch fader to fine tune the pitch control, the pitch will suddenly reduce the bpm by about 2% or so. This is crazy and not sure why the software pitch is not matching up with the controller's pitch fader position. For your information, I have reset all pitch fader position with the software pitch position with the "Shift" key. I also have play with the "Set Tempo Range To" percentage from 100% to 50% to 12% to 8% and regardless of the percentage, the pitch control is not mirroring each other properly between the software and the VCI 400 EG controller. Any suggestions to correcting this issue. Thank you in advance for your help.
VCI-400 EGE & MIDI FIGHTER INSTANT GRATIFICATION CONFLICT:
Hey guys, I believe there is a conflict when using the VCI-400 EGE and a midi fighter with the instant gratification mapping. The problem for me is the super combos, especially the one described in the explanation video that adds a "Transpose" when all beatmashers are pressed. I believe the problem is that the jog FX on the 400 remove the transpose effect in FX bank 3. So, the first time you use the super combo, you get a major issue as it tries to set the Transpose effect AND execute it.
The result is that all your audio goes deep and screwy (no other way to describe it). The only way out is to do the super combo again. Once you do that, the Transpose effect is set and everything is ok, UNTIL you use jog FX again, then problem returns. Give it a try and let me know if you have any suggestions. I use this combo A LOT!!!
Stoked!!!
sry bout the delay. yeah you were right with the traktor versions. :o:cursing: i had same version running on all my macs. after the update all went well. :DQuote:

i have a few stuff songs i used them with but still didnt 100% figure out yet which routine....
Maybe I'm a complete idiot... Maybe I'm not.... I have searched all over Google DJTT and can not find an answer. I have two issues with my EG VCI-400:
1) The faders do not work. I have sound from all the channels and all over channel strip functions work. Just not the faders.
2) I have no control over the Cue volume (..or Mix and Aux as well)
I've used Traktor for some time and although I'm not a novice, I'm not a pro either.
There were a few posts with pics and I tried all of those. No luck. I'm suck...
great tutorial flashflooder.. one question.. there is no mapping for previewing a track or is there?
i'm still on a normal vci, just want to know, when the upgrade kit is coming out ;)
