Hi guys,
I’m looking to buy a controller, I have TSP2, an A4DJ and a pair of Numark Pro TT-2’s. I had in mind using my TT’s and timecodes with a VMS4 but I might leave that til a later date when the cash flow is a little more fluid (and possibly end up getting an S4 or the Denon DNMC6000!!!)
Until that time I’d still like to use a decent controller, one that won’t have a bunch of glitches, mapping problems, component problems (I’ve heard and read about a bunch of problems with the VMS4 and it’s kinda put me off the idea!).
Not too worried about controlling 4 decks just now so I’d like to know if the VCI 100 is a good choice? I may have an opportunity to get an DJTT SE version fairly cheap. Any suggestions?
Bear in mind that unless you buy a VCI that’s already had its firmware upgraded, you’ll need a DJTT upgrade chip to fully utilise the VCI’s potential.
To be quite honest, and I know this has been my answer to a lot of questions recently, I’d seriously consider the Novation Twitch. It’s the first thing that’s tempted me away from my VCI and it’s a whole lot less effort to get that than to go hunting around for a firmware chip and buying an overlay.
It’s a 2 channel, high quality controller of comparible size, all it’s missing is jogwheels (and a DJTT mapping, but that may be available in the future if enough of us ask for it). Also you get ITCH free which is a very good deal.
