VCI-100 "effect parameter" button with Traktor Pro

[yash]

Hi, first time poster but long time lurker here.
I was wondering if there is anyway we could change how the "effect parameter" button works on VCI-100.
Basically I'd want it to move straight from A (FX Unit 1) to B (FX Unit 2) and skip the "master". Either that or assign a different button to do the same.

I'm using 1-2 fx select (assigned to 2 buttons) on the mixer to control effects unit on each channel, that way I get to use one/both effect units for single/both channels at any one time (total of 6 chained effects).
So it'd be really saving me one more push of a button if the "effect parameter" button jumped from A to B as I don't need the master position.

Strange thing is that it only sends two midis for all three positions. When the "effect parameter" button is on A it sends B7 to Traktor and when it's on master or B it sends C8.

I'd really appreciate some input on this guys

I'm using Traktor Pro 1.0.2 and VCI-100 FW 1.2

I don't think you can change this. It's a hardwired thing in the VCI-100. It's something that would need to be changed in your unit.

Thanks for reply DvlsAdvct,
Yeah that's what I thought, it's an internally-controlled key. But I think I've seen a few mappings here on the forum that have a different function for the "master" position. Is that by using another button and modifiers to shift controls of the four effect knobs and buttons from one FX unit to another?

[DvlsAdvct]

Well, you can make the "Master" position do whatever you want, but you can't skip it.

How can I do that? Since it sends the same Midi as B position?

[DvlsAdvct]

are you sure about that? Mine doesn't send the same messages.

[yash]

Yeah, when I click Learn and push the button it stays on C8 for B or master and when it's on A it's B7, what do you get for each position?

[DvlsAdvct]

my VCI is upstairs... give me a bit and I'll check it out.

[yash]

No worries, I guess that's how it's supposed to be even though it sends different signals for three positions it only sends two notes to Traktor.

[DvlsAdvct]

It should send three different signals, cause you need to control three different parameters. If Bent0 can't get to the before I get home I'll load up my VCI and see what I can come up with.
