VCI 100 MK2 with S2’s Jog FX Mapping walkthrough with Stewe/oriyong
Hi djtt,
I just sold my apc 40 to get my new set up which are VCI 100mk2 + midi fighter 3d. While waiting for my 3d to arrive, I try to mess up a bit with stock mapping to get more control of VCI 100 mk2 in Traktor Pro 2. Does anyone has a fun mapping to use with? I’m trying to import S2 jog fx into my vci but it doesn’t work at all because im kinda new into the mapping things. Thank you in advance DJTT community.
First you need do decide in which way you want to set modifier to engage jog FX mode. It should be best to use /shift/ + some button just like DJTT kontrol S2 mapping.
Thanks for your fast reply Stewe,
So, if i would like to set modifier to be like shift + tempo bend button if would be like in the s2 right?
Moreover, please guide me on how would the script would be like? or i just import djtts2 mapping in traktor and write down the scrip?
Thanks again for your kindness
It’s not a problem I’m always glad to help when it comes to costume mappings and I really love the unit. As I can see from the picture of VCI 100 MK2 this tempo buttons are already assigned with shift+ to change FX sections on both sides to control different FX units. Can you confirm this?
I’m not sure about the tempo button thought I just got the unit 8 hrs ago lol. How about Shift + Key button cause it seem like i don’t need to press key on controller.
You can still keep the function of key by adding shift’s modifier number with value 0 to key “in” and “out” commands. This way, while shift is on hold key command become blocked until you release the shift again. Basically you need to dig default .tsi to find what modifiers are both of the shifts dedicated to.
Thanks Stewe!
I will try to do some research tonight abt mapping all the things out. I would love the vci 100 mk2 can perform jog fx like other controller ean’s did.
่just finish reading some articles from digitaldjtips about mapping and it quite help me to remap the hot cue buttons in VCI 100MK2, so Im kinda ready to learn how to map a jog fx now Stewe lol. I decided to use a function Shift + Key button to activate Jog FX so what’s next then? Can I have your facebook or email so we can get over this mapping really fast? Thanks in advance.
Why couldn’t we do it from here? Isn’t fast enough? Though this way some other guys could learn how to map jog FX mode to their controllers also. I guess there are many of them who are trying to accomplish this too.
Next you need to find which MIDI notes are both shift buttons and deck switches sending (post it) so I can take a look in to mapping and start from there.
You can also attach mapping that you use in reply.
sure thing man. That would be great for the community. I have attached a official mapping from vestax which i am currently using it no to this post. Vestax_VCIMK2_Final-Pro-DK-2.tsi (680 KB)
Cool, next step is to add four more modifiers to existing mapping. Two on shift buttons and two more to both of the key’s. There are modifiers from one to three already in there and we don’t want to remove any so you need to keep adding from modifier 4 and so on. Check the pic to know where goes each.
Add in modifier 4 with following setup.
Type of controller: Button
Interaction mode: Hold
Set to value: 1
Add in modifier 5 with same setup.
Type of controller: Button
Interaction mode: Hold
Set to value: 1
Now list trough mapping and find all KEY commands and set conditions as below so it will not work while shift is on hold, like I said before.
For deck A and C as modifier conditions set: M4=0
For deck B and D as modifier conditions set: M5=0
This is for now, I’ll continue when this is done. Hope that you got the idea
I will come to that later, first you need to add in other two modifiers from pic and assign those key buttons. But before that I got two very important questions for next steps:
While holding shift and pressing key does key button on screen stays the same? (it need to if everything’s ok)
2 While holding shift and moving part of the jog wheel for nudge, does anything happen at all? (if not it will be ok because this way you’ll be changing FX presets to both sides)
Excellent! I guess that you have now learn how this shift button function and how you can forbid some commands from working while shift button is on hold.
Modifiers six and seven are next and those will be modifiers that you’ll going to set for all jog FX controls some later. Right now we need to create a toggle modifiers for both key buttons like on the pic I posted earlier.
Add in modifier 6 with following setup.
Modifier conditions: M6=0 ; M4=1
Type of controller: Button
Interaction mode: Direct
Set to value: 1
Duplicate modifier 6 with following setup.
Modifier conditions: M6=1 ; M4=1
Type of controller: Button
Interaction mode: Direct
Set to value: 0
This conditions M6=0 and M6=1 “tell” to the button that it need to keep toggling every time it’s press and M4=1 that it will toggle only while shift is on hold.
Now map any control, lets say dry/wet with modifier condition M6=1 to try out jog FX mode.
get the modifier 6 done
sorry for the stupid question. Im lost on the last part that map dry/wet with the modifier condition m6= 1.
Do i have to creat a new effect map or just modify the exiting one ?
That was only example with d/w. You can map lets say loop rec d/w and assign it to crossfader (M6=1) just to see if jog FX is set properly (ou can delete it later). It should act like this, when jog FX is off only crossfader will correspond to the screen control while moving it on vci but with jog FX on crossfader and loop rec should move both. That mean it’s set right and that’s time for other side jog FX with M7.
