Hi Ean,

First off thanks for all your hard work in getting this working.

I have found a bug with the transport that occurs when 2 decks are playing. If you try scratching with one of the VCI-100 platters (Even just cueing up), it makes the other playing deck's audio stutter badly - Even though the cross fader isn't in the middle. It's like the scratching midi data jitters the audio output.

I've made a movie to show you what I mean here:

Thanks for the video- that made it easy. I am afraid thats not a TSI bug but actually your sound card breaking up. You need to:

raise your buffer
load more ram
clean up the hard drive
get your system running at optimum performance
try a different sound card

We are able to scratch just fine here

I've noticed this too. it seems that TPro requires more processing power.

firmware version: 1.2

It simply doesn't work:

When I press the button, the next one in line lights up (deck a, then deck b, then deck c) but nothing works.

Therefore I have to select the FX-banks with my mouse manually.

Hey Mate,

I've raised the buffer to 20ms and it seems to be OK now (as in it doesn't cause that glitch when you cue one of the platters, BUT the scratching itself still sounds very digital (clipping, modulation, a sort of gating). This happens at all latency and bit rate settings. It was 44100 11ms before. However, when I use vinyl control records (I usually have it at about 5ms - Well I did in T3. Haven't tested in Pro yet).

As the poster above (Sheph) mentioned, TPro seems much more resource hungry than T3.

As for my Mac...

OSX 10.4.11
I'm rammed to 2GB (Max for my Black Macbook)
HD is cleaned & system optimized (ala Onyx & Disk Warrior)
Sound Card is Native Instruments very own Audio 8 DJ with latest drivers.

Do you think 20ms is high? What latency setting are you guys scratching with?

**Afterhour Ali** · 11-10-2008, 06:15 PM

20ms will be too high, as built-in soundcards normally have around 40ms which makes it impossible to work with it as a controllerist, well, you can get used to it, but it just feels unreal.
Anything below 10ms should be good to work with.

the banks dont select the effects (that was not possible because of bad midi programming from vestax)
you need to push the on buttons to select an effect under the knobs. first push loads the effect, 2nd push turns it on.

all will be explained in the video on wed

hi Ean,

Just to say cheers again for getting this .tsi out so quick.

I've noticed in 1.3 that deck copy a-c and b-c doesn't seem to work when a loop is engaged on the deck you want to copy from.

I haven't got serial yet so this might be a demo issue and not for full version.

After a quick play around I was wondering do you think it might be useful to use the tiny deck c and fader fx buttons to toggle the fx banks on or off for each deck rather than having to use the mouse to press the 1&2. I'm gonna have a look at it when get home. So maybe 1 button per deck, press once activates bank 1, twice bank 2, three bank 1&2.

Is this possible or do these buttons send the same midi data as the tiny pots?

Cheers,

Stuart

Hello Hedge,

Problem being anything below 20ms = undesirable sound artefacts, modulation and break up.
