Sosik's VCI-300 2D TSI [BETA]

**soulst** · 02-28-2009, 09:14 AM

2 Sleepless nights and here we go - my vci-300 mapping is almoust done.
I'm not a professional dj or a producer, started recently and it seems to work out slowly.
What you will get here is my Traktor Pro 1.1.1 mapping for vci-300 which I tried to make Itch-like as much as possible. So basicly you will have such functions as CUE/PLAY, PFL A/B, SCROLL, Playlist/Browser Navigation, AUTO TEMPO / SYNC, SHIFT, EQ's, AUTO LOOP and all other basic stuff beside CUE's, working like they should(I hope :P). Also I set up a realy nice FX1(chained) interface on the controller, hope you will like it.

All kind of feedback is appreciated, its beta and still requires alot of work.

HOW TO USE?
All basic functions are same as Itch.

- UP/DOWN to select up and down in the list/tree
- TAB to switch between tree and list

UPDATES(04.05.09)

New in 0.2:

Scratch on fly while playing(Itch-like)
- FX2 Advanced
Easy to use control with nice LED interface
- Fully functional middle controller part
Browsing, track loading, cue monitoring, everyting Itch-like with some smart controls
- Added many new controls to cover more TPro functions
- Fixed some bugs for better VCI-300 - TPro interaction
- Few small tweaks

New in 0.2.1 - 0.2.2:
- X-Fader seek
- Small fix to reset Tempo Bend to 0.0% (accurate for 1/10% only)
Even TP build in function to reset tempo does not fully reset it

- Added description for filter control
- Added EQ mode "while in FX mode"

* Since TPro is mixing up signals of both jog-wheels I would not recommend you to scratch with both at the same time.

Have fun!

Hi soulst,
very good work.

I am also in search, try it myself, to create a mapping for the vci 300 like in itch.
My aim is only to create the functions as they appear on the vci and working like in itch (especially for the jogwheels and leds).

I hope that we will as soon as possible get a "original/official itch-traktor pro midi mapping".

Thanks (also to claudek and Morbido for their great work)

Unfortunetly I'm pretty busy at the moment and I don't have time for this. I will see if I can update it this week.

Can someone tell me how to use the vci 300 in traktor step by step.
thx

Turn your vci-300 on and go to MIDI Setup in TPro. There you choose midi input and output, its either USB Audio Device or the actual name. Turn it on by double clicking on it. Thats it.

Edit: And ofcourse go to MIDI Mapping and import the tsi.
