Hello All,
I’ve recently gone from Traktor LE to the full version and I’ve tried all sorts of TKS files, including the 3.3"Fixed" tks, and lots of the buttons either don’t light up or even map to anything anymore. Also, the outer jog wheels pitch bend level has gone down to almost un-notice-able levels.
I figure I’m missing something easy here, so wheres the right .tks?
Charo,
Thanks much for the link. I’ll give that one a shot. I don’t know enough about midi-mapping just quite yet to get things working on my own, so having people’s attempts at perfect mapping is helpful.
I like the VCI-100 OK so far, it’s a 1.2. It had the annoying ramp-up issue until I loaded the TKS on Eans blog portion of the site here:
That worked well for the ramp-up, but it screwed up the EFX sections of the VCI-100 layout and still alot of lights aren’t working.
One thing I’m afraid of with loading new TKS files is the ramp-up issue coming back.
I’ve got the 1.3SE upgrade kit, but there’s no way I’m doing that until the overlays and knobs are available.
About Traktor and vci-100, just one stupid question: is it possible to change the “page” on vci-100? I know it may be a naive question, but I’ve just bought my vci-100 and didn’t find any kind of “manual” (or basic tips and settings) about using it with traktor. Thanks!
In Traktor “Details” you have the “page” panel (4 layouts). I’d like to change that without touching the computer everytime. Actually, while djing, I’d love to do everything without touching the computer.
PS: Maybe you didn’t understand because I didn’t make it clear. Sorry about my english!
Oh OK I understand now. If I were to map it I’d probably replace the “preview” function (upper left hand side in the middle of the UP/DOWN Deck A/Deck B buttons.) I’ll look at the midi settings and see if there’s a simple fix for that.
Click the big “Learn” button, then push the “Preview” button on your VCI
You may have a big red thing come up saying that midi signal already is in use for preview, simply delete the conflicting assignment!
After you do this, you can easily tab through the pages in sequence by clicking the preview button
Cool; be sure to come back and let me know how it works out for you.
I was tempted to leave it set up on mine, until I realized that I could customize the top part of the screen and get everything I need onto one “page”.
IMHO, there is no perfect tks file for everyone, but there may be one for YOU! point i’m trying to make is that people should explore their style of mixing and build a tks that tries to accurately represent that. to me, the tks that came with traktor le for the vci 100 was a good starter tks, but after about 5 months, i decided to upgrade to the full version and realized there was 4 DECKS!!! haha, so i redid everything, and have been slowly perfecting it. if i were to give someone this tks, they’d thinnk it was horrible, cause on the surface, NOTHING is where it should be, i mean NOTHING. but for me, its just what i need to do to work with four decks, and since i use an external mixer, it saves me about a million mappings that has to be done with 4 decks mixed internally.
