Loading tracks: From your VCI or mouse?

Loading tracks: From your VCI or mouse?

Hey guys,
I’ve noticed that I really never use the VCI-100 dedicated buttons to load tracks into TPro. I just find that the mouse is much faster and easier.
Anyone else doing this? And if so, has anyone remapped these keys to anything else?
Thanks!

I uses a bomes script that triggers a repeating timer when im holding down the button - this spams scroll list up or scroll list down. This piece of script was actually written by a forum user called Aanrii who i was working on a section of the VCI-100 mapping for Traktor 3 with a while back :slight_smile:

It makes using your VCI-100 to load tracks much nicer.

I rather just use my mouse or keyboard to be honest because for the most part I need to search for the track first. It’d be different if I followed playlists for sure.

i got one of the new aluminium macbooks and they’ve made it so that you can scroll by dragging 2 fingers up and down the touch pad, this is reallly handy. but yeah i never use the VCI for finding songs

only time il use the vci to search for a song is if its all in a playlist in the order im playing them in lol never any other time. Other wise i just do what timinya does :smiley:

I try to use the controller as much as possible because the load buttons also set the monitor cues up and master select makes it a lot quicker for me anyway.

yeah i totally don’t use it for getting tracks.. sometimes i can make a mistake and load it in the wrong slot ruining my night lol.

it’s also fun to setup one of the jogwheels to scroll through the tracklist with a modifier key.

yeah .. i just added support for that in my tsi as well. anyways i use the keyboard, the mouse and the vci for track loading. whatever i am currently already touching :slight_smile:

Can’t you just turn on auto repeat under button options instead? Or does the script do other useful things as well?

this is what i do then with the same modifier i use the jogg bend to load clockwise deck b counter deck a.

I really like it and I rarely use my keyboard or mouse.

i use the vci to load tracks and the F’s keys to toggle between playlist. I hardly use the keyboard, unless some ask for a request (im not a human iPod) and the track goes with what im playing.

I don’t know anything about mapping, how would I go about adding something like this to the 2.2 tsi?

Does anybody actually use the dedicated track to browse on the Traktor Scratch control vinyl? I find it very useful when using TTs.

I have the borwser options as well on my vci. I never use the mouse, just because I don´t like the mouse with music… it makes me remember my office.

It has a small wait peroid before it starts scrolling unlike the audio repeat - also i can set my rate of scroll to my personal preference.

Auto-repeat might be a good enough solution for someone who is looking for a quick fix though, cant say i have tried it though - anyone tried it ?

I had that happen to me when I was messing around at home, I freaked out just by the thought of that happening at a gig or something. Thats why I turned on the “Load tracks only in stopped decks” or whatever it’s called under Traktor settings.
