Random problems after mod

[bastianxx]

So I just modified my VCI-100 silver edition with the crappy original firmware using the Arcade DIY Mod kit. I didn't upgrade the firmware.

The buttons work great and everything is beautiful. But I have a couple of weird almost mapping issues that I can't make sense of or correct right now.

First, my toggle button for Effect 3 doesn't work. Instead, it activates the monitor cue for deck A. When I tried to go into my midi mapping to fix this, my computer seemed to be registering the monitor cue button and the effect 3 button as the same thing! Its messing up for both FX banks, BUT, it works fine in the loop setting for my D deck loop on button. HELP!

And even more upsetting, my jog wheels will not scratch for decks A & B. When scratch mode is off, they work fine as jog/search controls. And strange but true - scratch works perfectly in the bottom decks (C & D) when toggled on. I can't figure this out in the midi map. What sucks is that I can't use the jog wheel in FX mode now either. Touching it doesn't turn the effect on, though I can use it to change the dry/wet values. it's weird and i don't like it.

Neither of these issues occurred before I made modifications, but these things weren't involved at all in the mod, so I don't know what's up. I'm worried that I totally messed something up and that these are just the first controls to go. plz help me...

okay, so i stopped being a dick and actually searched the forums thoroughly and saw that my firmware prevents me from using the final button which you guys actually call the 4th fx button, not the 3rd.

but i still need help with this jog wheel issue.

Might need to reload the TSI file, could have possibly fiddled with something by accident that is messing things up

okay i reloaded the tsi file and still had problems. I was able to go in and correct most of the midi mapping issues using the learn function. Is it possible that i accidentally changed the button 'notes' assigned to certain features? Weird.

But a new problem has occurred. When I correct the mapping so that scratch is a toggle function with the right button (that was my problem by the way. it was hold on the wrong button), a bunch of my other functions start messing up.

My Cue/Play is less responsive, I basically have to hit it twice and then it sounds like I'm scratching into it if that makes sense. My Cue/Pause just stops playback and also is less responsive. Beat juggling is obviously impossible in this case.

So for now, I'm just leaving scratch assigned as hold buttons, which means I can't scratch but at least I can actually USE my vestax.

Also, we obviously messed up some wiring in the volume fader, because now it moves on its own. So when I throw up the volume to fast, it jumps back down. It sounds really crappy and unprofessional and I have a gig tomorrow. This is why you don't do last minute mods.

Any other suggestions?

Sounds like you have gone and midi learnt new buttons etc, over the TSI mappings in use. Meaning that there could be a few modifiers and other settings left on that specific pre programmed function.

I would say, first remove the pre programmed settings for the desired effect and then midi learn the new function.

no - the problem is that you dont have the firmware version 1.3

you just have 1.2 which does not have the FX features you are talking about there.
