you have to get a program called "mini.translator" - it's around here in the forums and on the blog somewhere (just do a search).
you have to start the program and then start traktor. then all you have to do is map the controller yourself or get a mapping (.tks for traktor 3, .tsi for traktor pro) from the forum here.
good luck and welcome to the "300 club"

Even without mini.translator you can use the vci-300 with traktor, only to use the pitchfader and the jogs proper you need it.
Also, keep in mind that oce 1.0.3 comes in you won't need the translator
I'm pretty sure that you need the translator to make the 14-bit communicate in regular MIDI. I can be wrong on this, but if that's the case, then once Traktor accepts 14-bit you wouldn't need the translator.
Once again, can be wrong, this was my understanding.
i read somewhere that the protocol itch uses is proprietary (but my guess is that it's simply midi)...
but the controller itself does output midi - so it's only a question of mapping...
and the jogs and the pitch faders are 14-bit (high resolution) midi, so if 1.0.3 enables 14-bit midi the controller itself does just fine!
i use mine with traktor (and mini.translator) and it works fine - the mini.translator only captures the 14-bit midi and converts them so that traktor understands them.

I cant get this thing with mini translator and Traktor scratch pro... Is it anything in the programfiles I need to change? Anywhere to get a step by step manual?
I get reactions in the traktor program (midibutton blinks when I touch my vci) But no more than that.
And this mapping.. I cant find any files for vci-300 in traktor scratch pro just for the vci-100...

well - that's exactly the problem, the controller just sends messages, if you don't tell traktor how to interpret these messages (with a mapping) you can't control anything with your controller!
just load one of these midi mappings into traktor:

this is my mapping (it's a bit "off the hook", so i'd suggest you to go with claudek's mapping first):

and this one is from vci-lover:

just read the threads to end and be sure to watch claudek's youtube video on the mapping (it'll show you how to use the controller with his mapping).
good luck!
