VCI-100 vs VCI-100mkII vs S4, some questions

[moey2k2001]

Hi

I use the vestax vci 100.
I would like to upgrade into a new version to be able to have more features and be able to control 4decks.

I had a quick glimpse in a music store but wasn't able to test any because there were way toooo many and I didnt have enough time. I have heard of the new S4 but was not yet able to see it anywhere because it were sold out...

What would you suggest that were as stable as the vci 100? I saw the vci100 mkii but I wasnt too impressed because of its plasticity or am I mistaken?

you can try to map your vci to control 4 decks.

question or statement?

[moey2k2001]

question and statement... yeah i could map my vci to 4 decks but why complicate it? looking for "smoother" work flow...

well, youre not going to find much with more than 2 jogs.

map a spare or not really used button to 'activate' 4 deck mode where the pitch faders are volume faders and now the jogs and all the controls (at least vital ones) are working for decks C and D

really, all you need to do is duplicate all the controls in controller manager and change the deck it works for

have you tried the full VCI-100 SE mapping from DJTT?

if your into 4 decks its meant to be pretty good (im more a two deck kinda guy)

Im using both hercules dj control mp3 e2 and m-audio oxygen 8v2 might upgrade my dj controller to a vci or another hercules.. but I'm not sure yet.. both works good though

[moey2k2001]

yeah but lets not forget that i need a pro controller to be able to play with other djs. haveing a controller lacks to be able to coopertae with cd djs or vinyls becuase fo their small jogs which doesnt allow you to set the beat grid right. and it gets it very veyr difficult to beatgrid/pitch to the right tempo using mini jog wheels...

i have tried the djjtools 4decks mapping but wasnt toooo satisfied. lacks a few things.

so i guess vestax is probably the best solution?
anyone has experience with the new vestax 100mkii?
