VCI 100B mapping with Traktor Pro?

VCI 100B mapping with Traktor Pro?

Hi,
I just got my VCI-100B on 24th! It’s great! At the moment I’m using the Traktor Pro Demo Version. I’m still waiting for the money to get transfered to my Paypal Account, so that I can buy the update to full version.

I already tried some TSI files but im not really satisfied with the settings. Now I want to creat my own VCI mapping but the problem is that I’m not really getting through all the options. I already programmed all the easy obvious functions, but I don’t know how the set the effects with effect parameter, the looping and the jogs.

Is there a proper manual for beginners like me? Or some kind of tutorial anywhere?

Theres the Traktor Midi Reference guide - thats a good read if you have already read the manual

http://www.traktorbible.com/pages/midiguide.en.html

Welcome to the forums by the way :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot:slight_smile:,
that guide looks very interesting! I think there is no manual in the demo version … or could it be found online?

Press the help button - then open manual, the manual is a pdf file.

Wow this is really tough. I read through the manuals but I can’t get it working. I tried to map my effect section but it doesn’t work. My plan is:

FX chained

Effect parameter master:
4 Buttons for choosing which effekt unit is activated
Button 1&2 for left deck 1&2 on and off
Button 3&4 for right deck 1&2 on and off

Effect parameter A for FX Unit 1
knob 1: D/W
knob and button 2: FX 1
knob and button 3: FX 2
knob and button 4: FX 3

Effect parameter B vor FX Unit 2
knob 1: D/W
knob and button 2: FX 1
knob and button 3: FX 2
knob and button 4: FX 3

Could somebody map a “preview file” for that idea or give me a hint how to solve this problem? :smiley:

can you provide a screen shot or your .tsi file so we can see what you’re doing wrong?

Uhh actually I can’t provide you any because I already deleted the things that didn’t worked :smiley: I can give it another try

yeah, give it another shot. we can’t tell you what you’re doing wrong if we can’t see what you’re doing :wink:

Give it another shot with the manual this time.

Hmm I did it like last time but now nothing is working. I added the file. It would be nice if you could tell me the mistakes I’m making!? I need to go now, because I need to fetch my friends soundcart. My Fasttrack is freaking out after some minutes and the sound gets distored.

Thanks so far

I’ll look at it when I get home

Oh good old modifier times…

alright, this is something that no one has gone over yet (and I guess I might want to write something for).

So… you have your modifiers set to Direct. That’s kind of like a toggle command. When you’re on M1V0 and switch to M1V1 you need a command to set it back to M1V0.

So, you need command

Modifier #1 - Note B7 - M1V0 - Direct M1=1
Modifier #1 - Note B7 - M1V1 - Direct M1=0
Modifier #1 - Note C8 - M1V0 - Direct M1=2
Modifier #1 - Note C8 - M1V2 - Direct M1=0

And then, you might want two more in case you are at M1V2 and want to get to M1V1, or the other way around, so then you’d want

Modifier #1 - Note B7 - M1V2 - Direct M1=1
Modifier #1 - Note C8 - M1V1 - Direct M1=2

So with those lines you should be able to jump through with your Direct commands. No one has really gone over using Modifiers like this on the forums. This is why I want to learn Bomes so I can do this a LOT easier.

Hi,
when I started this thread I just recieved my new VCI 100 and I was eager to create my own Midi Mapping. But I fast realized that to map the VCI is not that easy. So I tried some files from some DJTT users, mostly Zac’s and the YAVM. But I had to figure out that non of those really suited to my needs. So I started out yesterday to give it a 2nd try to figure out how it works. I already made some settings and they work. Now I want to ask someone if you could take a squint into it and look whether im on the right track or not.

Hi,
could someone please help me configurating my tsi. I stopped programming because I didn’t figure out how I can solve my easy problems.
This is how i want it

and so far have I got

thanks so far :smiley:

I will try to look at this when I get home from work, after I get my own stuff taken care of.

Oh thanks. I don’t know why I don’t get it. Seems to be soo easy but not for me. I want to start up easy, just to get the system.

the sync button should switch between deck A and C(solved)
and the loop4 button should change the 4 transport buttons into loop set/out and lenght + -.

Well, what modifier numbers are you looking at using for this?

Really, all it should be is…

Modifier #1
Press Loop button
Direct
Value 1
If M1=0

Modifier #1
Press Loop Button
Direct
Value 0
If M1=1

So then when you set the four buttons, make sure that the Loop Set/Out buttons are when M1=0 and the Length buttons are M1=1

You can set the outs for it, but I haven’t done those in a while, so I can’t remember the codes, but first see if that works

It doesn’t want to work. grrr could u implement it into the file? It seems to be so logical but not for me. :rage:

Oh guys u won’t believe, I finally got through the modifires!!! Damn so silly. Ill work on my file and upload it for u!! thanx to all:smiley:

what was your final solution?

Okey guys. Now I figured out how the Modifires are working. I not finished yet but I would like you to show have far I have come. Till know everthing is working for my purposes. I’m not sure if understand the Modifire function completly.

It’s a 4D based tsi:
-the mixing section is fully integrated
-the 4 buttons among the EQs are the monitore cues
-the sync button on each side are switching between A/C and B/D
-the 4 transport buttons are working as usual
-by pressing the loop4 button the loop mode get’s activated the 4 transport buttons are switching their function.
(loop in)(no function)(loopsize -)(loopsize +)
I’m looking for a usful function for the 2nd button. Maybe loop activate. I’m not sure whether to loop gets activated (not set) by pressing loop
4
-the load a/b work aus usual, holding the preview button will switch a to c and b to d
-up and down are working as usual to

Things they aren’t solved yet:
-effect section
-jogs
-sync stuff
-hotcues
-LEDs

The next thing I planned to is to integrate the hotcues. My plan: the four black buttons in the upper left are activating a hotcue mode for deck a-d.The hotcue mode will change the both transport section into hotcue 1-8.

Problem: The transport section gets a 3rd Modifire function. For the loopsection I could solve the problems by using two conditions, but now I don’t know how to handle the problem. If I want to activate hot cue 1 for example traktor jumps back to hot cue 1 but still activates the transport mode function play/pause.

I hope you can understand my problem and help me with solutions:smiley:
