Add Records to your VCI-100 Jog Wheels

Written by Ean Golden on April 24th, 2008 22 Comments

This DIY mod wins several awards including: most useless mod, easiest to perform mod, and most instant gratification bang for your buck mod. Adding a pair of 7″ records to your vci-100 does not make too much sense as you loose functionality of the fine pitch faders, nearly 16 buttons and you must remove the input fader knobs. Then again, its fun to do and looks great. You can also fantasize what it might be like to actually have 7″ record midi platters which would be sick! Vestax briefly brought out a mock up of a single 7″ record midi controller with motorized platter and basic controls. It was a mechanical mock up that didn’t exactly wow the crowds at NAMM 2008 but I cant think of anyone that does not like 7″ records. So here are the basic steps required to add a few to your VCI-100.

First, remove the metal touch plates.

Now, center a 7″ record over the plastic jog wheels.

Re-affix the metal plates over the record.

enjoy your new toy!

P.S. Ean, that VCI's paint is looking pretty beat-up! I guess it sees plenty of use, eh?

only the next controller has a better plattern resolution so scratchin etc. would make sence with a vinyl onto it… this is really only looking nice ;-)

what about the same thing with CD's instead could that be adopted since 7" are to big.. maybe CD's are a better fit…

I have found bland cd’s that look like small records at wal-mart they may be a more effective mod with the same concept!
