VCI-300 Mapping for Traktor 2 Pro
I have tried ALL the mappings posted on this site for the VCI 300 and Traktor 2 Pro, but non of them work at all… I am very close to attempting my own mapping, but I thought I would try the forum first. I simply want the functions to do exactly what the mixers is meant to do… I have been at this problem for months and months now… Anyone have a fully functional tsi file??
Let’s make custom mappings work first, before trying to make your own.
What part of not working at all you mean?
Can you describe a little what does work and what not while importing a custom mapping?
Does the default mapping work?
Just trying to unravel your problem..
Where to start… Turn the low up on one side, and the highs go with it, cross fader doesn’t work, channel faders also raise the filter on one side.. I have downloaded every tsi file on this site for the 300. None of them work. I am new to creating or editing mapping fils, so any help would be appreciated.
I just want the mixer to work as it should for mixing. NOT scratching. Scratching with a midi is lame anyway.
Here is a tip. When it comes to mapping editing go and add temporarily command (pick any) and enable ‘learn’ function. Now move the knob you’re experiencing issue with - in your case EQ low knob and command should be assigned to it, then, scroll trough mapping list of commands and look for highlited ones… In this scenario EQ high adjust, click it and re-map it for corresponding knob. Note: if your high knob already works just delete one you have found earlier using this principal. Do the same for volume knob where your filter comes up along. Don’t forget to delete temporarily added command once you’re done with editing.
I use this principal effectively.
You can also post this problematic mapping here so I can give it a look.
I super appreciate your help, however your tip doesn’t seem to be working.. I am still screwing around with it to see if I can manipulate your advice to work.
This is the tsi I am having trouble with.
If you have a tsi file that works for the 300 (not the mk 2) please feel free to email it to me @ - ryan.stamina@gmail.com
Takes some basic skill to do that.
[QUOTE]This is the tsi I am having trouble with.
Just given it a shot and couldn’t replicate same issues you were on about… You sure to post correct file?
Fully positive.. This particular tsi has the issues I spoke of, and the channel faders are upside down, in that when u turn them up, they go down and vice versa… I’m not without skill, just the knowledge in this case..
Faders were inverted, try it now:
Nice one dude. 2 more issues, the gain controls the filters… and the low on channel 1 still also moves the hi’s with it.. I’m troubleshooting the rest as we speak. Your the mutha fuckin man btw.. I play live often, and have a bunch of gigs for the NYE season. If i can get traktor to work right, you will make my job much easier
Also, play buttons don’t work, and every time I touch the jog wheel, it brings the track back to a diff location about 3 seconds back.
I did double check and it seems that highs are not assigned to same knob as low is, mapping looks correct for that one.
Found this: VCI-300 LED Diagram to help mapping
It’s MIDI diagram for button LEDs for VCI300 from where I’ve found out the buttons and LEDs are not sharing same notes… If you can create full diagram for all buttons, faders and jogwheels I could easily create some simple mapping you are looking for by assigning all commands manually and then share it here for testing. I’m requesting this because I don’t own VCI but being able to help out if you’re welling to participate.
Let me know if you’re in.
I’m in, just waking up, give me some time to get on it. Seriously thanks for the help.
No worries, there should be decent VCI300 tsi and it’s 20min mapping really. Just make sure to double check all assignments. Also check with holding shift and see if unit is sending midi in other channel or with different codes then first layer. Most VCI does.
Indeed it does. You know your stuff mate. Can’t thank you enough. I’m working on a 2 hour New Years 2012 mixed set most of the day today.. I have a deadline, but tomorrow my entire day is dedicated to this. If your into good house, I’ll send ya a copy.
Thanks again
I know since I have created one for VCI100mk2 on this forum as well. Although that one was bit advanced.
Feel free to send, I’d like to hear and if it’s good I’ll use it in performance video for my mapping.
Looks like I got those mapping issues figured out. Had a friend teach me how to create one from scratch. I am just running through it, but if I have any other questions, I’ll be sure to send em your way. Here is the dj sets I mixed yesterday. Turned out great!

So far my mapping is going smooth as butter. All the major functions work like a charm except the pitch adjust for the jog wheels. I can’t seem to figure that one out. One way I had it going, it would only pitch forward no matter if I was spinning the platter forward or backward.. any tips?
Good to hear! As for pitchbanding, can you make a screenshot with current settings?
