a .tsi IS an .xml file just with a different extension as far as i am aware
@ Zac, having no joy importing the TSI.
Its still downloads as an XML. And even if i change the file extension Traktor just shows it greyed out.
Tried on 2 different Macs with 1.2.6 installed.
You can upload the tsi with the traktor extension on the NI forum. Its a valid file type as an attachment.
Ive got the VCI 300 indefinitely now.
One thing though… Output Routing in Traktor ??? Back Center / Side Left etc WTF..!
Only had 20mins with it today so any ifo you have to save me setup time is appreciated.
This thing is a beast compared to the 100.
you can upload tsi’s on this forum too, we made them a valid extension here too
BTW - still confused about the file issue. If I download the file it downloads as a .tsi…?
EDIT: Nevermind, I’m a dumbass, I figured out how to attach 
I’ll do that when I get home.
Whatcha mean mate? I think the file i uploaded was set up for external mixing, with 10 channels leaving Traktor (4 deck + preview). You can just set it to internal and send 2 channels to your sound card. Is that what you’re talking about?
I uploaded the tsi directly to Tech Tools. Have a go.
Where? Am i being thick? Cant see it.
Also what i meant about the Output routing was that i hadnt been able to Import the tsi so when i plugged the VCI 300 into the mac and selected the 300s soundcard the options for internal mixing were bonkers???
If i can get the tsi i can play with the 300 tomoror (3am here)
Sorry dude, the link is on page 2 where I had the other one.
you guys got this thing tearing it up yet, or what???
wah-wa,wa,wa,- wah, wa,wa!!!
::virtual scratching::
Cool got it. Will get to it over the weekend probably Sunday as im gigging tonite and tomorrow.
Works..!
You got it just right. I upped the Rotary Acceleration a bit but Sensitivity around 25 feels very similar to the VCI 100.
I added a few things such as faders and transport and i can use it as effectively as the VCI 100.
Having a little trouble with the right jog wheel. It feels a bit delayed like that old VCI 100 FW 1 problem but i think it may just need setting up better.
As far as i can see this will make the VCI 300 work with Traktor at least as well as the VCI 100.
Soundcard sounds ok to me through my Zero4 and KRKs but im not at high volume .
Id say a job well done. Hopefully will have some time to pad out the tsi and i might use the 300 at my monday gig..!
Well done mate.
So… ive been messing with this VCI 300 with Serato Itch.
Ok… deep breath.
Its fucking brilliant. Scratching and beat juggling is a 1000 times more accurate and than wi the VCI 100 and Traktor.
I mean if NI would get this sorted with Hi Res jogs it would be awesome.
A VCI 300 and and X1 would be a killer setup (cus the 300 is lacking knobs).
Now dont get me wrong, everything in Itch above the waveforms is shit. Sorry, really sorry but the browser is rubbish. Id go as far as to say as it unusable for someone like me who uses lots and lots a of different playlist in playlist folders and need to access them quickly without getting confused.
But the wide waveform is really good and very clear. The decks are pretty bad but if i throw a towel over the laptop and just use the VCI 300 like vinyl its a joy to use.
As it stands using the 300 with Traktor (not hi res) is a bit of a false economy cus there just not enough knobs. The VCI 100 rules here but id gladly go VCI300 & X1 for hi res.
Had a look around Itch and i dont think you can reassign the midi so that you could change the mapping?
Anyway, im kinda thinking out aloud here so er… yeah
Come on, no one has taken a pot shot a Karlos for this one?!? I was ready to read a serious thrashing and never expected a “fucking brilliant!”.
The waveform IS good. That stacked form is even sweeter with 4 channel.
I don’t understand why you hate the file structure though. Is the crate system?
And x-nay on the anging-chay of the controls in Itch, however there seem to be some possibilities with gerry-rigging the keystokes through bomes…
Phil.
Lol yeah Phil i was expecting some stick.
But listen, ive always said i like SSL , its a quality product. Just cus i use Traktor etc doesnt mean i cant be objective.
However Itch is massively lacking in features and usability which i trust will be all sorted in the next version. When is that out by the way???
In all honesty i havent actually read the manual properly yet so i should defer my opinion a bit on the Crate system although its does seem a bit messy for me. I dont like the loop feature or how its displayed and the sync feature and timestretch is not as good as Traktors.
i guess the current Itch is basically SSL without decks.
What i am surprised about is just how tight the VCI 300 and the waveform are.
It rips the VCI 100 apart.
New avatar for Karlos?
I just burst out laughing (people in the house think I just lost my mind, maybe I did)!!!
- 1 000 000
Phil.
I have seen the light.
check sig.
*Disclaimer: I havent seen the light. I am in love with Traktor. Cut me and i bleed 2khz Timecode. Traktor For Life.
It’s like seeing Gary Neville in a Manchester City shirt :eek:
What a great way of putting it..!
Bit like Damon Albarn singing for Oasis.
I just bought a VCI-100. I’m getting a pretty good feel for it. It’s not paid for yet, but in 60 days it’s all clear. I would suspect in about 75 days a newer, better super VCI-1300 (or whatever you want to call it) that combines the best features of the 300 and the 100 will be announced. At least that’s how things usually work out for me.
