This file is for control of 4 decks. This is version 1, so please give feedback, and enjoy!
The tsi is designed from the ground up for control of cue juggling, beat jumping, deck duplication, loop and cue management and (the part I'm really stoked on) FX control that makes sense, and always shows the right status via LEDs. It's for firmware 1.2, but once I get 1.3 I'll remap it. Owing to the way FX button 4 is locked to the "effect" button above "cue" in 1.2, the 4th button will always be lit if an effect is on. I made the 4th FX knob also always control wet/dry, no matter what unit you're working on, or whether chained or advanced. Doing things this way also gives you a way to see the FX status, and turn the unit on or off no matter where you're at. Also, keep in mind this layout does not have controls for any automatic loop lengths. You need to click in and out for a loop to be set.

Architecture Overview: There are two main layers, Deck A/B control and Deck C/D control. Within either layer you have access to two sub-layers - a cue juggle/loop modify sub-layer and a beat jump sub-layer that will control decks depending on which main control layer you're in. There is also a fader/jog FX control layer that can be applied at any time. In addition, the tsi contains a mode for jog scrolling of tracks, and each sub-layer contains a deck duplication mode. All layers give a visual indicator at the leds next to the small black buttons on the far left. If all leds are off, you're in the A/B main layer. If the Third led down is on, you are in the C/D main layer. If the first led is on, you are in the cue-juggle sub-layer, and if the first AND second led is on, you're in the beat jump sub-layer. If all four leds plus the preview led are lit, you are in jog browser scroll mode. If the transport controls are in an alternating orange/green pattern, you are in fader/jog FX mode.
Known Issues: Because the VCI-100/Traktor combo does not save led states between modifier layer changes, the leds on the VCI-100 will not match what's on the screen in certain circumstances. This can be remedied using BOMES software, but if you're not using it, be advised. This does not affect leds that indicate what layer you are in, or if you have a loop running, so those things are always clear. The example is, say you are in layer A/B and you turn off the vinyl mode button, then switch to layer C/D. The led will still be off, when in actuality the vinyl mode is on for C/D. This issue does not affect operation. If you then hit the vinyl mode button in C/D, it will also turn off, and the led will remain off. The trick is to keep an eye on your screen and just be aware of what's on and off. Don't second guess the vci, just hit whatever button you want to use and everything will operate as expected. Or use BOMES
Also, if Jog/Fader FX mode is on, it will stay on when browser jog scrolling. Until I fix this, just turn it off before entering browser jog scroll mode.
For those that use the Kyoti 2 Deck version: There are couple major workflow changes. The first is that cue juggle mode no longer contains jog FX control. This idea has been expanded and now exists as a global fader/jog FX layer that can be applied at any time. Next, deck duplicate can be used in both sub-layers when in deck A/B or C/D mode, and can be used to duplicate any source deck to any target deck. Key lock control has been limited to about 10% total (more than this, and the algorithm sounds like crap), and is in relative mode - snap it back to the middle position to reset to zero. Jog browser scrolling and preview scrubbing have been added. The cue juggle and beat jump sub-layers both have jump to active cue on the top of the jogs. Now the navigation cross can control halving the loop in AND out points in the cue juggle sub-layer, and directly sets beat jump lengths in beat juggle sub-layer. Also, the play button now ONLY plays, it does not stop. After one too many accidental stops, I took this functionality out. If you want to stop at a specific point, set a cue and press pause. Lastly, the tsi no longer changes the cue/move panel view.
Set-up: Click the "loading only to stopped deck" box in prefs. I always have this on for live security. The functions of this tsi are built around this pref, things might not work right if this option is off. Set both effects units to advanced. This can be changed from the keypad, but it's needed for correct startup. I highly suggest importing the hotkey settings, as there are many shortcuts that help in operation. I also suggest importing the GUI settings, as there are many operations that change the views for efficiency.
Main Layers: 1. Deck A/B Default (standard transport, scratching), 2. Deck C/D Default (standard transport, scratching) *Preview and preview scrub available in both.
Sub-Layers available in both main layers: 3. Deck A/B or C/D (Cue Juggle (w/cue drumming on jogs) 4. Deck A/B or C/D (Beat Jump (w/cue drumming on jogs) *Deck duplication available in both.
Global Layers: 5. Fader/Jog FX mode 6. Jog scrolling in browser. *Accessible in all other modes.
Tips: First three small black buttons control layers and sub-layers. The fourth stores a cue from the focused deck.
Use keyboard 1, 2, 3, 4 if needed to focus decks A, B, C, D
Trigger sync at any time to focus and/or sync deck
Use the keyboard Q to turn off Quantize for looser cue juggling
Duplicate decks on time in any sub-layer by pressing preview and triggering the deck you want to copy from, then the deck you want to copy to. Lastly, press preview again very quickly to start deck in time. (This is a workaround so that "load only to stopped deck" can be utilized).
The "effect" buttons are independent of the decks. The left one turns on fx unit 1, the right, fx unit 2.
Use C and X on the keyboard to switch between chained and advanced fx modes - the fx control layout will change accordingly.
Tops of jogs in cue juggle and beat jump sub-layers skip to active cue of respective deck.
Fader/Jog FX control is available in any layer by pressing the second small black button in the "effect select" area. The transport controls will change to an alternating green/orange pattern to notify you that you are in this mode. Press it again to exit this mode.
In the "effect parameter" section, when set to Mas, turning the first knob will enter Jog Browser Scroll mode. Use the Deck A jog wheel to scroll, load to any deck using the navigation cross, or exit by pressing preview. All 4 of the first small black button leds will light to show that you are in this mode.
Also in the "effect parameter" section, when set to Mas, the second knob will scrub a track when being preview has been toggled on.
Preview can be accessed from Deck A/B or C/D main layers only (sub-layers off).
