I see a bunch of faders there. Why not assign one? 
Would have been perfect if it had jogwheels & crossfader 
They might be bringing out a new VCI sometime in the near future, who knows.
Technically, this is a dedicated TPro controller, much like the VCI-300 is a dedicated Itch controller (until Traktor gets 14-bit). So, people did get something, just not from NI.
Only thing I can think of is, if you need a crossfader⌠just cut the sound on one of the tracks. I have a friend that DJs like this with his numark axis 9s. He never touches the crossfader on his mixer. Weird I thought, but it works.
Merged the two threads present on the board, left a permanent redirect.
Def a Traktor Pro controller,
I like the layoutâŚ
Jog wheels are virtually a waste of time in pro controller, really only useful for back spins and navigating the track, but they still missed the point so they may has well stuck some in there.
Long live the VCI-100, and so it shall!
Looks promising but is this the production version or a prototype?
and why are Vestax videos such complete crap, always with the boring slideshows, way to hype a product.
what do you mean by scrub buttons?
I like to use jogs for accurately finding the beat and laying a grid.
Why donât they make a 4 deck 4 slider monster!
If you look on the controller, there are buttons that say âCue Backâ and âCue Forwardâ. Underneath those buttons, in blue, it says âBackâ and âForwardâ. I think this means that when you hit the Shift key it turns those buttons into seek buttons to go back and forth (scrub) through the track
ah yeah, i remapped my BCD3000 seek buttons to decrease/increase loop size
The VCM-100 did not have platters, so I can understand why this would not too.
I have an inside word that there is a VCI-400 coming and they both have 14 bit sliders like on VCI-300.
no knobs for gain control
iâd map the PAN knobs to gain. I got no use for Pan.
Some more pics over HERE folks. The black version is quite sexy! Itâd be great if we had some ETA dates. I think itâs a great and compact unit for Trance DJs to use with TPro. Double effect section is a worthy upgrade from VCI-100. Hope the price wonât be much of a setback!
I dunno for me not to be able to have a platter, would feel weird. I wait for the VCI-400 probably will come with soundcard like the 300 does.
I liked what they did with the layout. Looping control really needs a lot of improvement and that jog stick in the middle was loose and quite annoying. They should have used buttons and a wheel/knob for browsing and loading.
âŚAnd after looking and the white VCI-300, which I probably would have broken up with my girlfriend for, I was less than impressed with the appearance of the VCM-400.
$700 on djdeals.com?:eek: Hope itâs a joke otherwise Itâs a âno thanks!â for me. Not anytime soon at least.
Wow. That is pricey! Maybe itâs cuz the letter âMâ takes more ink than the letter âIâ. If I had to guess a price on it I would have said, $400-500.
To be honest, these controllers are just buttons and knobs, itâs kinda shocking they charge so damn much.
