Today I woke up to the news of Vestax stopping the VCI100 production and surprisingly, I had a bit of sadness due the announcement. The VCI100 was my first DJ device and I could have never made a better choice.
Since the minute of the unboxing I met a very durable and great quality device with a bunch of buttons and features. I had a chance to have tons of fun with it, play for my friends, customize it, have friends telling me the visual candy of the device, my first frustration trying to sample melodically causing me to box the VCI and putting it on the closet for over a month... But I always came back for more.
For me it represents the first device closely associated with my lifestyle to be able to do what I never thought possible back in the day. Now I have even spread the fun and joy to my friends when I play and was the VERY SOLID foundation to DJ and all the experience and knowledge I have acquired to date on the hobby/part time. Watching videos, learning new tricks... Been able to mod it, or personalize it, to my liking also gave the device a stronger tie since I was the one doing the mod and making it more close to what I like. "This is my VCI100. There are many like it, but this one is mine..."
So I politely ask the DJTT comunity, what do you think of the VCI100 death? heartfelt? whatever? "Do you see that in the sky? It's what I care, a flying fuck"?
