First Day With My New VCI-300 - Video
Dude, you gotta admit the vci-300 is more repsonsive isn’t it? Quicker cuts on the 300 yeah? The only reason why I’ve been saying this is that there are no “turntablists” using the vci-100 to cut but there are a growing number of vids showcasing the vci-300…
As a side note… are you in the basement? You’re wearing a collared shirt, slacks, got a shiny new vci-300 and you are cutting in a cramped space next to a circuit breaker? …Let me guess… The wifey let you keep your toys but only if you keep your mess in the basement? Cuz that’s what mine did… 
Well, if this is just your first day with this controller… 
Pretty impressive man!
Really cool you’re bringing the old Young MC track! Used to listen to that one very often.
Yes, LOL. The 300 is much better than the 100, I just have to get use to it. I’m getting ready to finish my basement, but I can’t seem to find the time to work on it, because I keep playing with the VCI-300!
very impressive indeed
Your using Itch?
Have you tried anything from the article Ean wrote to get it working with TPro?
That’s sweet!
makes me want to trade in my vci100…
niiiice skills man… thats pretty impressive!
and btw, he’s using itch (you can see it because the volume meter is working - it isn’t in tpro).
i ditched itch (as my scratching skills aren’t neeeearly as good as yours) and use my vci-300 with traktor pro - much better mixing, controllerism, you name it, but scratching isn’t worth a cent in tpro 
Nice mix and you got some nice skills.
For sure The 300 is tight. I love the faders, knob and feel.
14 bit midi I can feel the difference with Itch.
Itch is cool, simple, but damn it needs some effects, a 3rd deck, and it would be the bomb.
Armsteada, you da mofo man! I’m loving your Youtube videos, in fact it was watching you spin (digitally, of course!) which recently convinced me to buy a VCI-100. The thing is I want a a controller that allows me to be more hands on and I’m thinking of selling my VCI-100 and audio interface and joining the growing ranks of VCI-300 owners. Armsteada and all you other VCI-300 owners - is it worth getting the VCI-300 and ditching the VCI-100? Please discuss, as I’m sure there are similar people on this forum thinking the same as me.
VCI-300 and black Korg Nano and it has more than a VCI-100.
I am thinking about…no wait…I will be selling off my RMX to help fund a VCI-300 so it’s interesting to get some insight on how it works with TPro, which I also use.
In the upcoming TPro release (1.0.3), NI is adding 14-bit MIDI support so scratching should improve greatly at that point. Itch already has this support built in; Ean’s article over at Remix points to this as one of the main factors for the good jog wheel responsiveness.
i’m sure the 14 bit midi has got something to do with the great responsivness… but i think itch was made specifically for “turntablists”, so my guess is that the responsivness in itch will still be better than with tpro (even with 14bit midi)…
but i could be wrong - we’ll see when 1.0.3 comes out
I’m pretty sure that the 14-bit MIDI implementation is the only thing that sets Itch apart from Traktor in that regard (not commenting on anything other than MIDI implementation)… so theoretically it should be the same. But once again, we’ll see.
Wowzers, can’t wait to see more clips of you when you’re more familiar with it.
Thanks man. More videos coming soon.
Just wait for the 1.4 firmwate update on the VCI-100 and the VCI-100 platters should be as good at the VCI-300 ones - dont blow you money on something thats getting fixed in the very near future.
I can say Itch is very, very tight. I hope Traktor will be the same with V 1.03..
Could be something about the code of Itch and The VCI-300.
I tell ya , I would be 100% on Itch, if it only offered some decent fx and a filter.
I disagree, the VCI-300 has tension adjustment for the (larger) platters, so you can tweak the jogs to your tastes. After playing with the 300, this makes a huge difference to the performance of the platter for nudging, cutting, and scratching.
I’m curious though - is Vestax developing the 1.4 firmware or is it a community supported effort?
I have a feeling the VCI-100 will turn into a classic Vestax piece and they will move into their new series like VCM-400…VCI-400??
