Another AA vms4 thread?
I’m just curious to if anyone has actually purchased or used one of these? Thursday is the day I switch from cdjs to digital and am between the vci100se and tehe 4 channel vms4. The vms4 in its current state has so many things I want to do in a custom mapping and was also wondering if anyone had purchased and mapped one of these, and could assist me in choosing/mapping
that thing isnt even out yet afaik. most european stores list march 25 as the release date. so i guess you wont get any info yet.
of course you can map it just like any other midi controller out there. so theoretically you could do your own vci100-se a-like mapping (well, except for the super-faders, that send out a different midi value at the end), but keep in mind that it’s gonna take a lot of time and trial and error to get there.
the big advantage of the vci100 is that it already has a huge community behind it.
You could EASILY incorporate this behavior into any MIDI fader on any product. There isn’t anything special about the faders on the VCI-100.
You just ruined everyones image of the controller, as though you told a child Santa Claus doesn’t exist lmao
What! he doesn’t exist!?!?!112@!3!!2
you couldnt just make a fader send out a note at the end of its length like the vci100 se does with the 1.3 firmware.
you’d have to make it behave like this with a program like bome’s midi translator.
There are 4 or 5 shops i’ve found in the US that don’t mention pre ordering and list the product.

So is this out yet? They make it hard to say…
Aw I remember those stores back in the day, they aren’t exactly accurate with their ordering process, I’d take what they say with a grain of salt in all honesty 
Its NOT out yet, I emailed AA.
They also have some promising skin stuff going on.
It single handedly totally swayed me away from the vci100SE.
Looking forward to possibly owning one of these soon…
Good to know, I might lean that way as well and try to be patient. Did they give you any word when it might be released in the US? probably not hah…
again i can only speak for the european stores…i found two different release dates. febuary 26 and march 25. lets hope its the first one.
That would be great, that’s soon, I need a new controller and it’s hard to be patient. Anyone else here planning on purchasing one of these? It’d be nice to have a little support group since there arent many resources out there
Yes that would be me. I’ve already got mods planned out for this sucker, as well as a new mapping.
Lets start a support group, add it to your signature. 
seriously we could get a mini community going inside djtt haha
Same, I’ve been looking at the photo of the top layout for some time now, I think I have everything planned out haha
March or April i heard. start savin lads
Usually I don’t have the $ to buy what I want. This time I have more than double the $ (IN CASH) but what I want doesn’t exist yet.
Has anyone else noticed the crooked Knobs on the left Pitch Fader and on the 1st and 3rd midilog channel volumes?
If it comes out in April I might reconsider the VCI, seriously that much time would kill me… (after I postponed getting it for X-Mas)
Unless you are super desperate to get a controller mate, i would really consider waiting till this gets released. I have already flicked off our dj-tech and hercules stuff to some mates waiting for this. Your $ tho
you are very correct on this one. AA hurry up!
from the videos of the vms4 it seems like the jogwheels are terrible!! lets hope they fixed this issue on the final retail version
I’m waiting on this before I make a purchase of anything myself. It has the potential to blow a lot of things out of the water in it’s price bracket.
I’m worried about the jog wheels to some extent. I do not plan on scratching myself, so it’s not as big an issue, but I also want something that will work well and for a long time.
I’m really interested to see how well the soundcard performs in comparison to other options.
I see the 4 deck options on this as something no other controller in it’s price range currently offers, and that’s pretty amazing. I could see some guys going nuts for it. But then again, I want to make sure I’m purchasing something that will hold up to long term semi-hardcore use, and that’s where I worry about AA products.
It should be interesting to see how this plays out. I myself am waiting a couple months to hear back on how this compares to other controllers out there.
