Please help… Traktor with vestax vci 400.

Hi all.

I’m new to vestax combined with traktor so I do appologise if this is something simple.
Iv loaded my mapping for vci 400 into traktor and everything is fine apart from I can’t scratch. The mapping set from a friend are on his traktor and he CAN scratch?? Iv checked in the mapping and i can see the scratch on function has been mapped.Iv tried altering the sensitivity and.. Nothing.. The jog wheels do alter the tempo, change colour when I press, and also stope the track when pressed. I hope it’s something simple.

Thanks for your time all

Luke

You need to update the VCI firmware.

thanks again mate

Hey Luke,

Yeah, you get it from Vestax’s website, it’ll also improve your latency. You also want to ensure that you’re on the latest release of Traktor.

cheers guy i realy appreciate the help. ill give that a go. the only other thing i wanted o know was if you could use one of tthe rotary knobs to increase tempo by 0.1. iv heard you can do it but iv looked and looked and cant work out how

thanks all

luke

Add in tempo adjust > map to encoder > set to relative > adjust rotary sensitivity till you get 0.1 movement by one snap of the encoder.

Works perfect!! Thank you.

Enjoy :slight_smile:

Stewe, im sorry to be a pain but seen as you answered that part of my question so helpfully…

a friend gave me a mapping file, but the “scratch” function doesnt work properly.. is it to much hassle for you to tell me how to map the scratch in the same way you answered the last one.

Im sorry to be a pain
thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOO much

Luke

What version of Traktor are you running?

11

It sure looks like you and your friend have different versions of traktor.

12

Scratch pro

13

we both have the same verions except im on windows, hes on mac.. but the same mapping file works EXACTLY the same.. apart from this 1 issue of the scratching.. but i cant work out of to just map the scratch myself :disappointed:

14

Maybe silly question but I need to know… Do you enable scratch from vinyl button?

15

Lol i no.. ye the vinyl button is enabled. when i press the jog wheel is does hold the track, but while its pressed, moving it backwards and forwards does nothing at all..
so that does work, the light changes colour, and also the jog wheel does work for tempo change. im just missing the scratch function it seems. but im guessing that mapping it to scratch is not as easy as mapping a simple sample button?

16

It is pretty easy actually… I just needed to hear more input on that issue.

Add in > deck common > jog turn> set to encoder > set sensitivity that you prefer

17

Edit: set encoder to be in relative mode.

18

Yeah, but which version number? 2.x

im out at the mo but ill try that later and if it works i owe you a drink lol!! im being at this all day.. Can i just check, the currentr mapping has the job wheel working for tempo bend.. will what you have just said “overwrite” my current settign, or will it add the new scratch thing to my current ability to job wheel bend?

THanks again mate!
