What does VCI-400 EGE "slicer mode" actually do?

[Bread Freshley]

I really wanted the Slicer function to work in Traktor on my Twitch and I wanted it more of an auto-glitch/performance type thing that I could use on the fly instead of using as some sort of half-cocked auto beatjump. So I did my Slicer just about the same way the Deckalized mapping for the MF does it and I'm satisfied. I'm sure Serato's Twitch mapping is a lot more robust in terms of live remixing using the Slicer function, but I'm happy where I'm at lol.

the beatmasher and beatslicer in traktor are probably just as good for some "slicing" needs - very different at the same time ofc... in my twitch/slicer emulation mapping i have one page of the 8 pads set for hotcues, one for slicer, one for loops and some beatjumps on the 4th one (i love having quick access to beatjumps) but was thinking of how i could somehow add the traktor beatmasher and beatslicer in there too. i guess raw beatjumps arent really "performance controls" in the same way as the others ish... so might reuse the 4th page for those and move beatjumps else where. moving stuff around a controller from a mm config is super easy... just a matter of some cut&paste

Might I suggest putting the Beatmasher effect on the touchstrip? The touchstrip only sends 2 midi signals, one for touch and one for movement. I mapped it like this...

Touch - FX select, FX on
Move - FX amount

But I have it on my shift button (Stock mapping: M3=1 for shift) so you just hold shift with your finger and move around the strip with your thumb. I've been having a lot of fun with it lately

if u mean me then i don't have a twitch... my mapping emulates the twitch style areas and slicer on a launchpad. tho that same midimasher code would also work on a real twitch with a devices file defined for what midi the twitch uses.

i use my scs.3d's when i was some touch strip goodness, which then gives me a heap of them

similar midi from the scs.3d. it sends out note on/off when u touch and release and sends out both relative and absolute messages when you move any strip.

i may well have to have a go at mapping the traktor beatmasher to an scs.3d tho - i've not tried using it like that before
