all these views no comments huh?

im curious to hear from you vci 300 guys. anyone have that vfx 1 yet? whatcha think?

i gotta be honest, at first i wasnt too jazzed about the bridge but the more i think about it, sure seems like itch + vci 300 + apc 40 = awesome when you add in ableton.

whats the scoop on that these days? google seems to be failing me tonight for some reason, i cant find out hardly anything about the if's and whens with that setup.

I almost bought a VCI-300 but my main issues were:

- Having to pay extra to use/control effects (note: $250 for VFX-1)
- No outputs for each deck, only one master out. You're stuck with on-board mixer.
- Soundcard is decent, but not great at the price you pay (almost $900+).
- Pitch fader has very erratic functionality when parameters are increased.
- Platters don't "grab" the track accurately all the time during rapid movements, but when they do, they work great.
- Issues mapping to other programs (i.e: Traktor). It can be done, but requires some crutches, and a decent amount of reworking to do. Even then, it aint the same as what you get with Itch, so you're stuck with that to get the most out of it.

I ended up putting money aside for a different MIDI controller which didn't have these issues.
