VCI-100 In a club?

[fullenglishpint]

I realise you haven't tried it so you don't know, and that the firmware upgrade can be a bit of a hassle, but I'll give you a bit of a metaphor.

Using the VCI-100 with the original firmware and stock mapping is like buying an iPhone then ONLY using it for calls.

Of course, it does calls well, but there's just so much more potential there (think the equivalent of SMS, email, built in music player AND angry birds).

The VCI is a totally different and much improved unit when it has upgraded firmware and the DJTT mapping.

and it would sort your scratch question out.

Super handy for all things custom mapping. You should have space for most controls to be labeled

I'll probably pick something like that up if/when I get a Twitch. It comes with a Traktor overlay but the mapping looks totally shit, like someone spent about an hour learning the basics of Traktor then designed a mapping based only on that...

As is made abundantly clear if you watch the official novation video and listen to the guy wondering over being able to browse and load tracks.

There has to be a way to turn scratch off, would turning off Vinyl mode do anything?

[fullenglishpint]

Vinyl mode is the same thing as scratch.

So by turning scratch mode off, will it still let me beat match using the outter rings? What exactly does it do?

[fullenglishpint]

assuming you're now using the DJTT mapping, with scratch enabled you can beatmatch with the outer rings and with it off you can use the platter (but not the outer ring, I believe).

So in conclusion, the VCI-100 can be used in a club? It wont have any problems?
