VCI-100SE TSI Version 2 Feedback

Does this only work with VCI-100SE’s or can it work with my regular VSCI-100 running FW 1.2 (with Traktor Pro 1.1)

I’ve got it running on my 1.2 only certain things won’t work

Not sure if this is a bug due to 1.2, can anyone with a 1.3 try this to see if they get the same issue… its a poss show stopper!

When you are in browser mode and you attempt to use teh shift + tree buttons this can also sometimes start or stop deck B (possibly also deck c or d also)

Same for me when i use shift and tree.
FW 1.3

oopph thats a pretty bad one then.

Anyone know why this could be happening ? is it an easy fix or a bug thats gonan take a FW upgrade to fix ?

most of 2.0 works very well, but I feel like the section dedicated to fx bank selection (the old looping section) is not layed out intuitively, instead of laying it out according to fx bank, (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b) it should be layed out by deck (1a, 2a, 1b, 2b) as this is the trend with all other functions over the vci-100 on most mappings.

I was thinking exactly that last night but thought it was probably just me and I would get used to it.

+1 :slight_smile:

+1 as well. Should be FXs per Deck, not Decks per FX

hey guys- i agree with the FX per deck thing- its makes more sense. I was having the same brain fart when making quick decisions.

Sounds like a nasty bug on the tree load- I will check that one and add it tonight. All of the other bugs have been fixed that were mentioned here and should be released tonight.

So besides the FX layout- everyone likes the new TSI and agrees this should be the final major layout change?

I would honestly wait until like Friday until you put the order in for the finals..Never good to rush things like this.

I was having fun with FX bank C..I found the SHIFT and rotating the fx knob changes the fx..(nice). I was wondering if there was a SHIFT or Modifier that can also control the WET DRY in Bank C?

Is there any definitive list what features are known to be broken with FW 1.2?

I kno some of the bugs were firmware independent so now that those are fixed I’m wondering what still won’t work with FW 1.2.

Can’t wait to see a video demo of this .TSI :smiley:

Great TSI

Another few things I’ve found are …

Deck C & D buttons operate different, one you have to hold to continually display the 4 deck view and the other you toggle press.

There wasx something else i’m sure but ive forgotten … Hmmm it’ll come back .. maybe it was just my tip…

Tip … add the search command to browser up and down then when you open the browser you have the cursor ready and waiting in the search box. I tried to add a clear search to but that didnt work as everytime you tried to move up and down in the browser after a search your search was deleted and you were back to all your collection.

I’m loving this TSI…

Minus the few bugs…

Still would love the beatjump option to be worked in. If there was ANY way of making thsi happen you’d have the perfect TSI!!!

Maybe just use the FX 1, 2 on the small buttons 1,2 and 3/4 could be tree..
Shift on small buttons 3/4 could expand collapse??.just an idea,

also an idea I had that would be nice for users who like 4 decks..would be to have the pitch sliders become volume faders for decks 3, 4, and then user could control levels of all 4 decks on same level.

Another one …

The load command doesnt work when youve got your effects in the 3 chanined mode. It works when you have the 1 effect version selected.

I’m on 1.2 but this worked fine on 1_7

any ideas ??

Anyone else have this trouble ?

MASSIVE GREAT BIG HUGE EDIT::::: I am a cock ignore me. You’ve changed the button to load hahahaha I dont have internet on my traktor machine so had to look at the tsi then run upstarirs and try it all from memory IGNORE ME :slight_smile:

Sorry for my english.
I like the version 2, its so easy to understand and use. Its almost perfect. But i think i will change it a little bit so its works for me and my type of work:

I would use the shift and the buttons under the effect knob to have 4 presets effect to deck 1 and deck 2 (like the 1.3.2 tsi) not shift and turning knob as it is now (it could stay but i think its so difficult to tune in 3 different effects in the dark and not looking at the computer).
And then try to put in “super knob” in 1+2 bank
Then i will change the advanced and chained button to beatjump 16 beats +/- on each deck because i dont use advance effect.

You need to have FW 1.3 to have the button C&D to work correct.

Ean, first thanks for your good job.

Here are my thoughts after testing the new mapping with one of the one hundred VCI-100SEs on Firmware v1.3 and Traktor Pro 1.1.1 :

  1. The FX section remains quite confusing, you should probably add a third color to your labeling and show for example what happens when we select the 1+2 FX control mode.

  2. The LOOP and LOOP-/+ buttons are in symmetry where I’d expect them to be in the same order on each deck as it’s the case for the transport control buttons on the bottom. The SCRATCH and DECK COPY buttons are ok though as they aren’t aligned so we easily identify which is the good one.

  3. When using Fader Performance mode, i would expect the jog wheel to turn the FX on and off when changing direction as it’s the case for the volume faders.

  4. For the Cue mapping feature, why not making it even simpler ? “Shift + one of the cue buttons” to map the current position without even having to drop the cue.

  5. The PAUSE button is actually a “CUE/PAUSE” button and should be labeled so. You could also add the real PAUSE function with “Shift+PAUSE” or with “Shift+PLAY”. In that case you should add the “PAUSE” label in blue on the bottom side of this button.

  6. When using the Juggle performance mode, I’d love to see the LEDs of the transport section buttons on the bottom going all blue and switching to white when they’re hit.

  7. When using the Advanced FX mode and the 1+2 FX Bank control mode, the WET/DRY rotary should set to 50% for convenience.

  8. I agree with the comments on the FX assign buttons on the left.

  9. I also agree with the fact that plates would be better than stickers for the new layouts based on this mapping.

  10. I finish with an idea : What if we had all the parameters of each newly selected FX pre-set to what you think is the best position for the audience’s ear so as we can drop an FX without thinking of not making any bad noises or end up with no sound.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

VCI 100 arcade edition

So i am one of the fortunate few to have a signed arcade edition of the Vci..Only problem is it came with traktor 3LE and the vci doesnt do anything my total control did..Do i need to get Traktor Pro to be able to use the unit? I was previously using Numark Cue and decided to upgrade after seeing the youtube vids..Someone help i want to use the vci on my next gig:confused:

Ean Thanks for all your efforts, much appreciated.

Ok here are my 2 cents on the new 2.0 mapping

  1. The deck C&D ON knob should be a button, maybe take place of the keylock button for quicker switching of decks A,B to C,D.

  2. Im kind old school but I don’t really feel the need to have 6 efx at once going on for each deck (A&B). Dedicate the Bottom FX2 buttons for decks C and D EFX.

  3. Not sure how much the scratch buttons are used, but I always leave mine on and maybe these could be used for something else like the keylock.

  4. Just a request., maybe fitting in a preview button somewhere… my brain can only remember so many records and after a while most tracks are often forgotten.

Thanks for all your hard work Ean.

Yes pro or traktor 3 at least
