**Traktor Pro VCI-100 Mapping, No overlay needed, designed for 1.2 firmware.** Hi guys, After recently getting my VCI-100, I found and have used a variety of mappings for the controller. The best I found for my own needs, was this great 2 deck mapping from this thread:- > **[VCI-100+Traktor Pro tsi - no SE overlay required](https://forum.djtechtools.com/showthread.php?t=2868)** > > Hey > > First off, DJ TT is the nuts! I've taken so much from this site i wanted to give something back > > I've created a tsi for VCI -100 with Traktor Pro that requires no overlay. I mix deep house and disco redit stuff (Greg Wilson, Lindstrom etc)... However, it had some minor functionality bugs, and when I looked closer under the hood, alot of redundant note mappings. I’ve now stripped it back to basics, whilst keeping, or upgrading its functionality, and curing the odd bug along the way. The end result is my take on traktor 2 deck mapping. It doesn’t use any modifiers, so should be easily portable to previous versions of traktor as well.. but I haven’t specifically tried this. Every button is mapped to its original labelled function, unless it didn’t have a function, or was spare. A quick walk through for those interested in using it:- Top Left Section. The three buttons on the left side of this area are used as follows:- Top) Scroll Up the folder list Middle) Scroll down the folder list Bottom) Change the view to browser and back to decks. The Four small black buttons next to these (from the top down):- Increase loop size of Deck A (but not set a loop) Decrease loop size of Deck A (but not set a loop) Increase loop size of Deck B (but not set a loop) Decrease loop size of Deck B (but not set a loop) The load buttons:- All work as originally labelled. The 4 buttons directly underneath this section (Loop\*4, Key, Vinyl Mode, Sync), and the same set opposite, all work as labelled. Note on Vinyl Mode. This swaps the platters from scratch mode, to search mode. The jogs:- Pitch bend using the edges, or scratch/search depending on vinyl mode button. The transport buttons at the bottom, all work as labelled. The centre effects section:- Both halves mirror each other, for decks A (left) and B (right). From the top:- Trim (gain) .. As labelled. Top three eq’s:- High, Mid, Low. (These are labelled, high, mid high, and mid low) Bottom button (labelled low):- Filter Small black balance knob:- Key Change. Effect button:- Toggles effects units 1 & 2, either on or off. So.. if both units are set to off when you press this, both units will come on for that deck. However, if you have one unit on, and one off, this button is a toggle, so the effect is this:- Both On → Both Off Both Off → Both On Unit 1 Only On → Unit 2 Only On Unit 2 Only On → Unit 1 Only On You can set individual effects units on and off in the next section. The effects section (Top right of unit):- Effect button:- This button does nothing on its own, but sets the LED for master, A or B. When set to A:- The effect select buttons (small black ones) turn on/off FX units 1 & 2 (top button and bottom button). The rotaries (but NOT the far right one), change the FX amount of your chained effects on unit 1 (which I have over deck A, hence linking it with the LED A). The buttons under each rotary turn the effect on or off. The far right rotary is d/w control. The button under it is un-used as its midi messages are used elsewhere and is a known bug with firmware 1.2 When set to B:- The three rotaries and buttons underneath, affect your advanced FX on unit 2. The far left rotary affects d/w as before. But to turn on the FX unit use the effect button inside the very top left area (labelled effect). When the LED is set to master:- The rotaries and buttons under do nothing. I’ve yet to decide what to do with these, probably cue juggling I think. Version 1.1 will have these implemented. All faders work as labelled. Remember, for this mapping to work, you must have chained effects set to FX unit 1, and advanced to FX unit 2. -----\> TSI Link here \<----- Enjoy Moonie [www.djmoonie.co.uk](http://www.djmoonie.co.uk) ---

There shouldnt be an issue with saving it that way.. but just incase.. I’ve uploaded the tsi as a zip file and changed the link above. So just left click and download the file, then unzip it. ---

Hey Yo Nice rework of my tsi (which was bitten from bits of other very good tsi posted here 😉 Especially like how you remapped the effect select buttons to turn on fx 1 and 2 on both decks. I do miss that one button being search mode which is now d/w for fx advanced but i can probably find a keyboard shortcut for that. Other than that it all seems clean and dandy. Nice one Mx1 ---

The only thing left to do on that TSI, when I have time, is to map some remaining controls in the effects section when the master LED is lit. The effects 1 & 2 on/off is actually a toggle, so you can do some funky swapping around of 1 & 2 depending on whats active 😉 ---

As a total newbie (both at DJ:ing and Traktor) I have a few questions. I noticed that the four buttons below the discs work differently on deck A and deck B. For deck A, “Set cue” sets a cue flag each time it’s pressed, but for deck B it does nothing. Why is this? (Also, could somebody please tell me how to remove cue flags?) I also wonder why the effect knobs aren’t mapped correctly, although I know this is on purpose. Shouldn’t D/W be the knob to the left and not the one to the right? There are 4 on-screen knobs and 4 real knobs on the VCI-100 so they match up really well. In addition, why is the button below the very right knob mapped to toggling effects on/off? This function is already labeled to the Effect buttons in the center of the VCI-100. I am sorry if I have misunderstood a lot of things. I am new to this. Thanks a bunch for this very nice TSI. Everything else works great for me. ---

Ok.. to answer the questions. The reason the knobs arent mapped identically to the screen layout is because firmware 1.2, for which this TSI is designed, has a bug (as does 1.1), where the button below the far right effects knob, actually sends the same signals as some other buttons on the VCI, effectively making is very difficult to use. It is for this reason that I shifted the d/w knob over to the right side, instead of the left, because the remaining 3 knobs then get a working button underneath them, where the d/w doesn’t need one, and therefore it doesn’t matter that the knob under it can’t be used. The set cue issue on deck b is probably just an oversight. It is intended to be mapped in an identical way to deck a. ---

Thanks a bunch. I fixed the cue issue myself. It was just a matter of duplicating your setting for deck A and use it for deck B. I’ve had this VCI-100 for a year and now is the first time I am gonna be able to actually use it. Again, thanks a bunch. ---

This works really well and convinced to go to traktor pro instead of 3.4. One thing I miss though is the sync lights going green when on as i have a habit of forgetting they are on after a few drinks and all hell can break loose when spinning and cuing. Any way to make these go green when pressed? ---

Glad you guys are finding the mapping useful. I will add commands for when the master red light is lit in the effects section shortly, then start on the 1.3 version 😉 ---

Great mapping, but just one question. Is the Effect button for Deck A not lighting up for anyone else? Deck B’s is. Or maybe my LED is broken, which would suck since I just got it today. ---

I’ve just had a look at this, and there appears to be an issue. This is probably with the TSI mapping file and not your LED. If you use the effect select buttons to turn on FX bank 2, the effect button LED for the appropriate deck should light up, but it does not. It does however work if you turn on FX bank 1. I’m sure its probably just a missing output command in my TSI, which I will sort out shortly. ---

Ok, I have found and fixed the output LED issue, so that the effects buttons for the decks now light up if you have either bank 1 or bank 2 selected. There is however, a side effect which still needs to be resolved, which I think is caused by the order in which traktor processes the midi map. If you have FX bank 2 active, and hit the effect button for the deck, it will correctly switch off bank 2, and turn on bank 1 (its a toggle as explained previously). However, doing this, causes the LED for effect button for that deck to turn off (It should stay on, because you still have at least one FX bank active on that deck). It works fine in reverse (toggling FX 1 to off, and FX 2 to on). I’m sure modifiers could be used to get around this, but for now, you’ll just have to live with it, or mod the TSI yourselves 😉 I’ve also fixed the missing set cue command as mentioned previously. The upload link at the top of the thread has the corrected TSI file. ---

Thanks very much for the help, but it appears it may in fact be my VCI-100. Rather than the effect button for Deck A lighting up properly, the one for Deck B appears to light up with a small blue dot. I guess I’ll contact Vestax =(. ---
