vci400 serato dj mapping does not have slicer mode
if you check the VCI400 quick start manual here:
you will see that the mapping does not include slicer mode
thats a big wow for me, I bet a lot of 400 users would have been assuming that was coming… it does exist in the ddjsx right? surely it is not some kind of deal with pioneer
imagine if they were to release mappings of Twitch/VCI380 without it?
you need to read it again look at slicer mode in the list and behind it is a 3 then look at Additional features exclusive to the Pioneer DDJ-SX: and you see that 3 [Pioneer DDJ-SX and Vestax VCI-400] so it looks like it does have slicer mode
at first i loved it, then i found it easy to abuse like the first time you use the beatmasher on a midi fighter and then later really liked when using it sparingly as a more advanced beatrepeat sorta thing
can’t wait to use it again if serato ever decide to bless my 380 with some sdj goodness
but wait…
a new challenger appears -
is it conceivable that a full version of traktor would contain some kind of sliceresque ‘freeze’ mode before the vci?
