I use VDJ 6 on a regular basis and had it mapped quite well for my needs. Due to several buttion issues and minor limitations I purchased Traktor Scratch Pro and after researching the forums I decided to upgrade my firmware. The upgrade went well without a glitch. My goal is map TSP to fit my style and needs with 1.4's improvements. At this time, I have two issues that I can not fix.

1. I upgraded my firmware from 1.2 to 1.4. Is there anyway to revert back to 1.2 ? (I've tried the loop hold power on as described in Ean's video to no avail).

2. With the upgrade to 1.4, my pitch faders are not working. I've done all the basic troubleshooting (cables, updates, reboot,etc..) Is there something else that I am missing ?

Thanks for the help.

Loop? What layout are you using? It should be the top small black button towards top left corner of the VCI. It's labeled as FX preset 1 in this layout

Are they not working at all or just not working right?

(If that doesn't make any sense then I suggest u do a little midi command tutorial before

I did it last night, works fine (didn't do all the faderfx/slice ones though, don't think I'll be pitch bending while slicing)

cheers

Thanks, this tip totally does it for me. cheers.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am pressing and holding the first button. Secondly, the pitch faders do not work or respond to movement at all. Now, my next question is Does the 1.4 firmware have 1.2 embedded like 1.3?

Yes it does, I've tested it. Try reloading the tsi using the big import button a couple of times. Sometimes it takes a couple of loads for all of the settings to take affect.

TSI used to reflect overlay?

All the buttons output the same MIDI messages as the original release, yeah? If I want the high-resolution features but my own custom mapping, do you expect things to go awry?

Change MIDI Channel?

I use 2x VCI-100s with Traktor for independant control of the four decks. When I turn on the second unit, I hold down (what is marked on the overlay as) 'FX Preset 1' to swap into MIDI Channel 2 to avoid conflicts. Is this functionality still available?

Traktor Controller Manager.

I know I can try this for myself, but I figure someone else may know.

If you have two devices that output the same MIDI messages, does the current incarnation of controller options in Traktor handle this? I recall having seen something somewhere *sighs* that suggests this but not sure how what is done.

I figure if there is no longer a second MIDI Channel available this might resolve my problems, but not the preferred option in case I want to use my units simultaneously with different software.
