deck freezes on vci 100 - any suggestions

[djmoonie]

I've just come across this issue myself.. however...

I can get one or both decks to freeze, AND the jog lights have not changed from blue to red (ie the unit doesnt think they are being pressed), and despite this, pressing the play button does nothing (it lights up, both on screen and on the VCI, but the track doesn't play.) Everything else appears to work, I can fiddle with the eq's, turn effects on and off, just not play!

Update:-

If the jogseek light is lit (also called 'vinyl mode' on later models) and you tap the top of the jogwheel, then you can get play to resume! The light has to be on for this to work.

So.. how can I stop this ?

Hi

You could try the advice that Zac posted earlier, not sure if it applies to your problem, but it worked on for me. Good luck.

'Some tsi files have a bug where if the jog gets nudged while the deck is paused, the track appears to not respond to the jog when playback is resumed. If that's the case, see if the tsi has "jog scratch + tempo bend" commands on the jogs. If so, you might try deleting them, just make sure you still have "tempo bend" applied to the outside of the jogs. I've seen that command do weird things before.

Yeah, thats what I did in the end, and it seems to have cured it.
Interestingly, removing those commands doesn't seem to have removed any functionality from the jogs, so I'm wondering what they actually did!

Glad this fixed it. If you get chance can you post your file with the amend. That is if it is the file that you worked on and amended from DJ Max. You made alot of really good changes so it would be great for it to be available for the community with this bug fixed.
Thanx. CB.

I've actually upgraded to firmware 1.3 now, and this fix applies to my 1.3 version, but I'm happy to post it up when I get back in a few days

Hi djmoonie

I have just got my firmware update kit so soon I should also up to speed with this.

Look forward to the post. Have you tried the 'official'djtt tsi? There is another really good amended version, in my opinion better than the official one. This is posted by MISA happy to send the link if you are interested. It uses the overlay but incorportes features such as preview and other stuff that Ean for some reason didn't include. I intend to switch between this and your one hence having your update will be really useful.

Many thanks
CB.

Hi DJ Moonie

Wanted to check if you have had to post your new file, I have been away for a few days and didn't know if I have missed it? Thanx.

Cheers

Haven't yet had a chance to post up a new TSI file, but will do shortly.

[Cheek Bone]

Thanks. Really appreciate it.

Best

I've now posted up a new version of my 1.2 firmware mapping under the original thread, so grab it while its hot.

This update fixes the deck freeze bug in traktor with the jogseek + tempo bend midi command.
