    Oh, well, my apologies for misunderstanding, mpetersen

    The DJTT guys are diligently working on a firmware update to the VCI-100 to allow it to send and receive 14-bit MIDI signals. This doesn't matter right now as Traktor 1.1.1 only receives 14-bit MIDI signals on faders, not jog wheels. Hopefully in a new update that will be fixed.

    But no, this can't be fixed in Bomes.

    The drift on the samples I think has been discussed on the forum. A few searches might turn something up.
    It's the FAQ. Read it.

    I understand this to be called sticker drift but a search doesnt come up trumps unfortunately

    This thread is the only one, but it relates mainly to T3, not TPro. I think it might be a good idea, though, the make sure you have the most updated TSI for TPro. Also, try playing with the sensitivity and acceleration settings until they fit for you. It's a pain in the ass, but to get this stuff to work the way want always is.

    nop, vci-100 is using standard 7-bit midi, the vci-300 is using 14-bit midi.
    you can't change that in bomes, only via a firmware upgrade, but the word is here that the amazing DJTT crew is working on a 14-bit enabling firmware update for the vci-100

    i really don't want to break your hopes, but:
    i used the vci-300 with itch and compared that to the vci-300 with traktor - scratching simply sucks in traktor (without DVS)! 14-bit midi doesn't help even a little bit!

    seems to me like some software thingy...

    edit:
    damn, sorry guys... was answering to mpetersen and while i was typing 4 other posts appeared
    guess i should train my writing skills

    MBP, 10.5.6, TPro 2.0.1, Kontrol S4, VCI-300, a bunch of other makes-nerds-happy-stuff

    why is it that the dvs systems sound great in traktor, but the jog wheels can't compare, you would think that the programmers could write an app to better simulate the spin up/spin down on a technics 1200 since this is pretty much the standard and should be uniform vel/acc in all cases, with user variance to that data. I wonder if this is too intensive to run accurately with low latency with the computer computing the motion of the table and pitching the song also, but given some of the other stuff traktor does it seems really weak, I guess it is a low priority, although ITCH does this. It should be higher though, because this is a really weak spot for traktor, probably there aren't a lot of people using traktor and not using DVS who would scratch. In fact it probably helps them to keep jog wheel functionality weaker since that means people who want to scratch will use DVS and pay them more to do so. However the people with VCI-300 on ITCH are a small niche that NI is losing out on.

    Ed. I guess to sum up in a question: Is it not worthwhile fiscally for NI due to it affecting only a small group of people, low on their priorities, or technologically not possible atm? Or some combo of all 3? damn where is Karlos, tell him to swallow his tea and crumpets and weigh in already!

    I'm scratching just fine. TPro 1.1.1, firmware 1.2. I mean, it's no 1200, but there are plenty of tsi's out there that make scratching with the wheels decent. In another thread, I even asked Jes C how to emulate the brake similar to the Tech's. Here's the thread I was checking:
