Noob question

I have the VCI 100SE with snap beat, quantize and sample in the top left cnr. Whats the latest version of traktor this works with 100% or does it work right up to the new 1.2.6 or do i need the latest mapping and overlay

Its not Traktor, that is the 2_X DJTT mapping. If you use the new mapping (now at 3_5_1) you will need the new overlay. Check the store for the latest overlay to put on your VCI.

Sorry man what am meaning is can the 2_x mapping work with the latest version 1.2.6 100% or do i need the new mapping and overlay. I am running 1.1 with my laptop now and its runs smooth have ordered new overlays and just waiting on them to arrive.

There is no reason it shouldn’t work; I used the 2_4 and 2_5 mapping just fine with traktor 1.x up to 1.2.4. If you’re happy with the 2_x mapping and you can do everything you want with it, there’s no compelling reason to upgrade.

I now use the 3_5 mapping, which is fantastic, and I have the overlay but I don’t use it because I like the old overlay better. Of course that means the words under the buttons don’t match up to their functionality but a little practice and you don’t read those words anyway. The overlay is just a convenience; I may probably install mine eventually since I paid for it but I really prefer the texture of the old overlay (and after reading about how many problems people had changing overlays I didn’t want to mess with it).

cheers man, was it 1.2.4 that the major change in layout came about?

'm still using the (heavily modified) 2.4 with TP 1.2.6 and it works like a charm..

Did you have to heavily modify it to get it to work with 1.2.6 or was that just your own personal choice
