VCI 300 tsi
Hi peep’s,
havent posted here in ages… Anyhow A friend of mine has jus purchased a 300 & allready has Tpro installed & I’m lookin for a basic tsi for the 300.
before you mod’s bite my head off I have done a search of the forums but what i really need is a basic ‘out of the box’ easy to use tsi
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
many thanx
Try the tsi of Sosik. Is the best around for now.
Vestax VCI-300
Just finished mine. Used the midi translator as mentioned in some other post. I will not have a overlay for reference but can send a text file of what each button does. send me an email so I can email it to you. anthonyc@djdigitalny.com
We got an official VCI-300 mapping in development 
u guys r the shit
uh, nice bento
any insights on what you plan to do with that piece of gear?
any updates on the official vci 300 mapping development?
and hows the vci 300 running with traktor pro for u guys?
Hello everybody,
I’m new to this forum, so please cut me some slack 
After using Traktor 2.x / 3.x / now TP and Total Control for some years I finally decided to improve my gear - and bought the VCI-300 (no more toys ) . I’m really happy about the look and feel - but: I can’t get it to work properly with Traktor Pro (1.1.2, on a MBP, OSX 10.5).
I’ve been looking around in various forums, found Sosik’s .tsi, also Claude K’s .tsi, installed and activated them in Traktor - but I can only use some basic functions (load tracks, play, auto-loop, xfader, navigation in library). Faders, jogs, beding, cue points and loops, LED’s - nothing.
Apparently the VCI-100 has full Traktor Pro support - but what I specifically like is the integrated soundcard of the 300… so I wouldn’t really like to “step down” to the 100
And ideas / help for me? THX!!
We have been patiently waiting!
What am i NOT doing with the controller is probably a better question lol 
Theres gonna be effects, cue jumps, beat jumps, fader fx, 4 deck control and all sorts of wonderful goodies!
Oh oh, very nice, I like I wonder what you’ll map to the 4 small buttons next to the pitch faders, my guess would be deck select and/or fader fx.
perhaps I posted something stupid - but I feel a little ignored
Can somebody give some advice on using the VCI-300 with Traktor 1.1.2? I would especially like to be able to use the jog wheels and the cue1/out1, cue2/out2 etc. buttons…
ooooh yes!
made my thoughts about a decent 4-deck mapping recently, but i didn’t come up with a really good solution (at least not with incorporating other things like fx, etc)… i’m very thrilled to see your implementation bento!
haha, sry hmp, normally our users don’t get ignored - but i guess in this thread everyone is so excited that nobody read your question
besides - there are plenty of posts in the forum about this topic…
but i’m gonna try to reply anyways:
if your jogs and pitch fader won’t work then you’ll need the mini.translator (search the DJTT blog, there’s a post from ean about it - including instructions on how to use it), with that your jogs will be working. or alternatively you could upgrade traktor pro to the newest version, with that you won’t need mini.translator.
to get the leds to work you have to mark the vci-300 for output in traktor settings.
as far as i know nobody mapped the cue-points so they work like in itch - so you can’t set any cues “on the fly”. but the best mappings so far are sosiks and claudeks, but as you can see from this thread i’d highly recommend you to wait for the official DJTT mapping which will fit all our needs and will do even much more
Actually i kinda like those pitch jump buttons personally, however i am going to add extra functionality so you can hold a shift key and jump by a tone - without the shift button you will jump by a semi-tone (or maybe vice versa, yet to decide which has the better feel)
That will enable pitch jumping techniques which i am sure you guys will find useful for both controllerism and general mixing purposes.
However if you guys dont like the pitch shifting thing then i could can that and throw in some different functionality on those buttons.
please don’t dump the idea, i love it!
actually i tried to do the same, but i tried it with a knob controlling the pitch… i never quite succeeded though, as i didn’t know how much exactly to turn it to get one semitone or one tone, so i always ended up somewhere between two semitones, which sounded just plain awefully when mixed into another track…
how much do you turn the knob in order to get one semitone up or down?
Hello Morbido - thanks for your reply! well I guess we are all waiting for the “official” djtt release )
I was just wondering if i was doing something wrong because I actually am using the latest version of TPro, with the 300 configured as in an output device, so I figured it should be working without the mini.translator (at least this is what has been proposed in other forums…)
so I’ll just hang in there and wait for wonderful things to come )
5.92% = a tone
well, it actually should work without mini.translator then…
you can test the midi mapping a bit, just go to midi preferences and look for the corresponding command (e.g. pitch bend) and then click learn and move the jog… or just try to assign any command to the jog - then you’ll see if traktor pro recognizes your 300…
i’m pretty sure the mappings of sosik and claudek work, as i tested them myself (a long time ago) and they worked and i pointed several other vci-300 users at them and it worked for them too (and i know both mappings have led output available)… very strange…
you could try to clear your midi commands and just add the “cdj jog” command and assign it to your jogs… you’ll then see if it works at all!
what the…? why on earth is it such a strange number? now that explains why i didn’t get it right, i always thought a tone has to be a full number (like 6%)…
