I’ve recently bought a VCI-100 to try it and i’ve found DjTT, which contains a lots of informations and ressources about this mixer, but you already know that.
So here is my problem :
Under traktor, i don’t know why but the effects doesn’t work, and i can’t decrease/increase the loop time…
By default it’s 4 times, i’m totally a newb in djing so i read some manuals about VCI-100, and i saw some tips to do this such as push the key button and puth one of the 4 black button on the top left corner. But it doesn’t work..
Yeah, i know, i’m a beginner and i want to practice again and again but… Even if i load a tsi file, or choose the VCI-100 in controller settings, it still doesn’t work…
Welcome to the forum. Do you know which version of the VCI firmware you have, and are you using the DJTT mapping?
All the controls on the VCI and indeed any midi controller are dependant on the mapping (tsi file) that you are using, so no one can help you with that until we know what mapping you have installed.
you’ll most likely want the 3 bank eq/filter type, but in general manufacturer’s own mappings are a bit shit and don’t make anything like full use of the available features.
Try this thread to find a mapping you like, I expect many of them work with the old firmware version you are likely to have since anyone with DJTT 1.3 or 1.4 firmware will probably be using the DJTT mapping.
Also I’d suggest you try doing a bit of your own mapping as it’s a useful skill to have.
In the long run I’d look into buying a firmware upgrade kit from the DJTT store and maybe an overlay, the upgrade really does make a big difference to the performance of the VCI.
chris, do you just have that post saved on your desktop for situations such as this? It’s always you who’s in there like a flash with the firmware check video!
