I have the VCI-100 and started with the basic Traktor LE software that came with the unit. I later upgraded to Traktor 3.3 to fix the ramp up problem with the jog wheels. The 4 Effects buttons never worked, because I undrstand that I have to upgrade to Traktor Pro. Is there any other way to add effects without purchasing Traktor Pro? I also like the simplicity of the basic setup and don’t want to change anything that will cause the ramp up to come back.
Ahh well you could try to find a free DAW and use jackdmp to route your audio into the DAW - then use VST effects. Not really for the feint of heart though.
I think you are shooting a bit above target there Bento
I would say that you actually answered the question in your first post. The reason why the four buttons (and the 4th, lol) dosent work, must be that they are no assignet to anything.
I started with Traktor LE (which came with the vci-100). I then upgraded to 3.3 to solve the jog wheel ramp up. I still do not have effects on the 4 buttons. How can I assign effects to the four buttons?
You have to go to the prefferences menu → midi setup (or sometinhing like that). I would advice you to read the manual. I am shure that you will learn ALOT!
Otherwise, check out other threads in the forum. There are tons on the matter.
