**VCI-100Se** Hey guys, I was wondering how Ean mapped the VCI-100Se volume fader so that when it reaches 0 it activates “effect 3 on”. I"m trying to do the same with my Numark Stealth Control.

i’m pretty sure that the vci se sends out multiple midi messages for the faders, with note on/off’s when u get to the top and bottom as well as a cc message as you move it - with also an extra note at the mid point. u should be able to do the same thing tho by setting adding a new fx control with the midi range for the fader to _0 to 0_ - and an inverted control to turn off the effect. haven’t tried that tho. ---

Didn’t know you could set midi range. ---

> [@LXJ](#): > > Didn’t know you could set midi range. ah - my bad - looks like that’s only for outputs. so you’d need some software like bomes or my midimasher sitting between your controller and traktor. probably a bit over the top if thats the only thing you were missing maybe tho. edit: maybe add an extra mapping for the fader of type ‘button’ instead of fader and invert it - that in theory should then be ON when the fader is at zero and OFF at all other times. ---

I suppose I could just have a nearby button that I can press to activate effect 3. Then I would have to move one of my hands from the slider. ---

Then I would have to move one of my hands from the slider. true - but u can map a control of type ‘button’ to a fader as well as the normal control. if inverted like i said i _think_ it should do what u want. i.e: the button will be “pressed” when the fader is at zero and off at all other times. ---

That doesn’t really work. When I map it as a button it turns on the second I start moving the fader. ---

It is but it doesn’t behave like how you would think it does. For normal (non inv) when you move the slider it turns on and when you reach the bottom it turns off. For invert when you move the slider it turns on and when you reach the bottom it stays on. ---

Try button\>hold Not sure if that’s it, (at work) but I have what you’re asking about in my VCI mapping. ---

With it with “hold” it still turns on when the volume slider is moved. Its off at its initial off position. I agree that in theory invert should work but it doesn’t. ---

Wow thanks for all the help Zestoi. I just figured it out!!! By putting Effect 3 on as direct AND Effect 3 on as Hold I was able to get it to work. Now when i hit the lowest point of the slider effect 3 turns on! ---

Now when i hit the lowest point of the slider effect 3 turns on! awesome! 😃 there’s _usually_ a way of getting what u need in traktor by combining stuff and/or using modifiers… but it takes most of us mere mortals quite a bit of experimenting to work it out 😛 shame there’s not a wiki or something someplace for recording tricks like the one u just found… (unless NI has something like that, don’t think so tho)
