I’ve just talked with a guy who work @ Vestax and he confirmed me that the new VCI MKII will be out on 2th october 2010…and that it will be very very impressive…
The biggest news are that there will be an integrated sound card with it.
I think we can see the VCI100 MKII on the BPM @ Birmingham
I heard from a Vestax employee that they are coming out with a VCI-500 in November. Four jog wheels, arcade buttons, and a magnetic crossfader. And an “oldies” button that activates a time machine that will send you back to the disco era. Oh, yeah, and it comes with a hat.
I talked to Mr. Vestax himself, he told me about a robot they are coming out with this Christmas that will DJ for you. All you have to do is fork over cash and look cool next to it at clubs and parties.
does anyone have a link to where I can preorder one of these. Any of the above mentioned will do, so long as it has integrated soundcard ---- and comes with a hat!
This may well be true and explain why Vestax has not been willing to update the Firmware on the VCI100 (DJTT FTW).
Anyway, ive taken the rumour on board, i wont listen to anything else about it until i see a Vestax announcement cus i am throughly bored of reading “a guy told me” about DJ products.
If it was at BPM Vestax would have been bragging about it by now OR that Vestax guy has just been sacked…
People dont break their NDA like that unless they have been told to start a trickle feed and they dont start trickle feeds by telling a guy on the phone.
Remember the Richie Hawtin video where someone “accidently filmed an X1”..? Thats a Trickle feed.
Given the lackluster VCI-300 Mark II specs and the lackluster “new” features listed here that almost seems plausible. I hope not though, cause there’s not much there to convince people to upgrade from current VCI’s.
I think it looks cool as hell. The jogs look better and they’ve adopted a few things from the TR-1 and VCI300. Having an integrated sound card I think is great. Hope it’s true, and also that 1.4 will work on it!
I think the hat’s available in Japan only so you’ll probably have to find someone to import it for you. I don’t know why they went with a hat anyway, I would much rather have a monkey. I guess it all comes down to cost, cheap bastards.
