VCI-300 itch question

[ttaralli]

Can you set up a midi controller along side a vci-300 like a padkontrol to go with itch to use it for cue points?


anyone try this? I know you can with serato just not sure about itch.

thanks!

i doubt it, there isnt any factory settings for devices like that

that sucks, I would really like to have 8 cue points and it looks like the vci-300 is only setup for four. Oh well, I'll make it work Buying my VCI-300 this week bye vci-100

Itch only works with controllers made for Itch, at this stage this only includes a very small handful of controllers including:
Numark NS7
Dennon DN-HC5000
Vestax VFX-1
Vestax VCI-300

No other controllers are supported and no custom midi mappings can be made even with supported controllers.

The VCI-300 only has buttons for 3 cue points...

Bought the VCI-300 today (It's in the mail) sucks about the 3 cue points, I'll just have to be super creative If I like it better then my VCI-100 and Traktor, then I will be selling that setup.

I'm pretty sure it depends on how you use your gear... The approach of the VCI-300 is slightly more leaned towards the tradition 2 TTs / 1 Mixer paradigm - with the added feature of cue points and hot loops. That's quite it.
But that's also where the strength of the VCI-300 is: Apart from the spinning jogs you have exactly the same control like on your TTs...
I for myself am much more comfortable with the jogs of my 300 than the platters of most TTs!

[ttaralli]

Yeah, that's exactly why I went in this direction. I come from the old 1200's world and I do a lot of skratching and the vci-100 just wasn't doing it for me which is to bad because I do love that thing! Plus I will miss Traktors effects, I thought about grabbing the vfx-1 but 300 seems like a rip off and id doesn't appear to have a chopper or slicer and I use those the most. Oh well, I'll figure it out.

[Morbido]

then you'll certainly be having fun with your 300 (as long as you don't mind that your jogs are not spinning - takes some time to get used to with scratching, but you'll get used to it)!

before you buy the vfx-1 I'd suggest you to wait for the numark nsfx to come out - they are both going to utilize software fx of itch, but they'll be using different ones. maybe one of the has got a slicer (as the nsfx is complementary for the numark ns-7 and that controller is heavily lent towards hiphop and scratching)!

you should be able to set more cue's using your keyboard (numbers)
