FAQ- Which firmware do I have?

FAQ- Which firmware do I have?

Version 1.1

  • the firmware with the “ramp up problem”

the jog wheel touch sensor turns off when the wheel stops turning, not when you release your finger.

Version 1.2

  • VCI-100’s with a green sticker on the back are firmware version 1.2
  • If you press both “scratch/jog” buttons at once and the pitch bend is disabled then you have 1.2
  • the fourth FX buttons are the send the same messages as the cue section creating a mapping problem

Version 1.3

  • The firmware from the VCi-100SE designed by Dj TechTools
  • You can tell if you have 1.3 by following these steps.
  1. connect your vci-100 to a computer but dont start traktor.

  2. Click the button that is at the top right hand corner of the left jog wheel (its next to the filter knob for deck A).

  3. If this button toggles on and off then you have 1.3 (the same button on the right side will not toggle on and off.

Here are a few of the changes made in 1.3

general improvements:

  • Eliminated the problem where the 4th FX buttons trigger other buttons (cue)
  • added midi in functionality to the loop buttons
  • added a note on to the jog wheel in scroll mode

performance:

  • turned the filter knobs into double knobs (0-127 on the left and right side)
  • added a “freeze function” to the bottom of each fader and top of the fx knobs. this sends out a 127 message only at the end of the movement
  • added inverted messages to the faders (this allows an effect to be turned on by turning the fader down- not possible otherwise)
  • added unique values to the FX buttons (these were used for direct FX selection- now added in Traktor Pro)

To assist in mapping a user here on the boards created a diagram of the added messages.

on my black vci100 the 2 buttons you speak of are called the ‘vinyl mode’ buttons. this had me confused at first. but i see now that they are labeled differently on other vci100s

i have bought a new “normal” VCI-100 (Black) now in March 2009. does this unit have the 1.3 version too, or does the 1.3 version really only exist in the DJTT Special Edition?

1.3 is a DJ TT Exclusive.

You should have 1.2

Hi,

I’ve just upgraded my firmware (it said success etc), but I’m not sure if I’m on 1.3 or not.

The C/Copy to C button is Orange when I start it up, then goes green on press and back to orange on second press.

Is that right? or am I being retarded and pressing the wrong button?

Upgrading to F 1.3

You are right, can someone give an easy and definate explanation of whether the Firmware has upgraded.

Is it the copy to c button on the current overlays that Ean is talking about? Mine on the left goes to green on the third click, the one on the right goes on and off with each click. Have I been succesful in upgrading the machine???

When I did the upgrade it said it was successful, however there are three files available when downloading F3 update?

Clear as mud!

?

How to fix bugs with a vci 100 v1.2 ??

Hello, I´m interested on buying the firmnware upgrade 1.3 ,I think have 1.2,cuz I have the green sticker on VCI-100 box, but I´m sure I also have that ramp problem,the thing is that I wanted my firmware chip to only fix the 4th FX button, pitch bend button,& the ramp problem, is this possible?
regards.

If you upgrade to 1.3 you get all the functionality of it. You can’t just select certain parts of it. However, this firmware was carefully designed to be a big improvement over the standard firmware so you will probably want to do the upgrade.

I don´t need that beat juggle function,fader fx´s,

    all this is unnecessary for me,I´m a registered traktor 3 user and I like the Default settings,I wouldn´t need the rest of the TT functions…just the 4th FX button;ramp fix & the Key button, nothing more…

I ordered this frimware kit today,will I have to pay taxes?I´m from Portugal-Europe
and in this version 1.3,is ramp up issue fixed?
thank you

If someone is selling a VCI-100 (not DJTT edition) and claims they updated the firmware to version 1.3 is that possible like so DJ TechTools Forums
because i am thinking about purchasing this one but want the latest version… thank you

Ramp up problem

Hi guys,

I’ve heard alot about the ramp up problem. However i am still nit sure what the problem is really all about: "the jog wheel touch sensor turns off when the wheel stops turning, not when you release your finger. "

If this is true, than I have this problem, although I upgraded my VCI to 1.3 many months ago. I found a video on youtube showing the same problem and asking the same question:

On the other hand, this is true for my VCI 100:

The firmware from the VCi-100SE designed by Dj TechTools

You can tell if you have 1.3 by following these steps.

  1. connect your vci-100 to a computer but dont start traktor.

  2. Click the button that is at the top right hand corner of the left jog wheel (its next to the filter knob for deck A).

  3. If this button toggles on and off then you have 1.3 (the same button on the right side will not toggle on and off.

If the guy in the video does not have the ramp up problem, then I would be interested in knowing what it actually is???

can you post a picture with the button circled??

@4realMaster:you have firmware 1.3; tell mme one thing, can you use the 4 EQ band (xone:92) exactly the same way you did with 1.2?

I am not sure what you mean by that. I can use every button except the one-click beatmasher button on the left side (traktor sratch pro 1.4 and tsi 2.5). The thing is that I am still not sure what the ramp up problem is all about, because my jog wheel touch sensor turns off when the wheel stops turning…

I mean if you select the Xone 92 EQ (preferences/mixer/EQ type->Xone) can you move each knob (hi/ mid hi/ mid low/ low) the same way you did on firmware 1.2; because I read somewhere that the low knob sends a “note 127” when turned to 0.(whatever that means)…

One of the 4 won’t work. Can you explain what the ramp up problem is all about, because my jog wheel touch sensor turns off when the wheel stops turning and not when i release it…

[/quote] maybe because of the DJTT MIDI mapping , you have to import the VCI-100 default settings

[/quote] I did the same question on top of page 2

I did that already, doesn’t work for me…
