Hello everyone, I am new to this board and to the world of Digital DJing and controllerism. I was set on purchasing the VCI-300 to jump into this but then I came across the VCI-100 SE, now I am not sure, could use some help. I apologize if this is the wrong place to post. I would really like to make a purchase that will give me all the basics and allow me to grow as my skills do. Thanks so much in advance.

=) very nice)) so when the vci300 will be on the market?

first !!!1!!!!

darn it

Looks great! Can't wait for the 1.3 upgrade

first !!!1!!!!

Not only were you "that guy", but you weren't even first. That hurts.

How nice of BOME to make such cute solution. Crossplatform and free. As I presume, the midiTranslatorPro is able to produce patch files, right?

besides the jog wheel upgrade… any other reason to go for the 300 intead of the 100… I think I still like the vci-100 better… what do you guys think?

I would love to see a VCI-100 preset with a Torq output. I love Traktor, but also own Torq and it's midi learn doesn't play well with the VCI-100. The Torq 1.5 update looks promising(when it finally is released).

how does mini.translator effect latency?

how does mini.translator effect latency?

I will need to get the exact specs but its very, very low. Something around .04 ms

Bomes will allow the use of those high resolution midi messages with use with Traktor. However Traktor still does not use the high resolution midi messages. So the translator would be converting the midi into low resolution messages that Traktor can use.

In other words, while it will work with Traktor it will still feel like mixing with a vci-100 more or less. So take that into consideration if you are purchasing one.

The high resolution midi messages will be slightly useful if you are doing intense midi translations – but tempo and jog wheel control will still feel the same as a vci-100 no matter what translations you are doing.

Hope this helps.

thanks bentosan, thats the fact i was looking for.

now the question is, will NI try and support the hi res protocol the vci300 is using? at least sometime in the future?

Actually, thats not true- we have found a way to make Traktor read the high resolution data by putting it in another format. So, yes- you will be able to control traktor in high resolution with the VCI-300

Thats really good news.

What midi format exactly does the device use and what do you plan on converting it to ? Some of us like this information ;)

Like I said Traktor also supports OSC that has better resolution. Aside from that, controlling the pitch can be hacked to use inc/dec instead of absolute position.

Ok i missed that OSC statement, where-ever you made it – because its not on this page :p

Using Bomes to for incremental movements of the pitch is also possible using midi translation on the VCI-100. In fact this is something i started working on the other day.

What midi messages does the VCI-300 use natively ?

ok, is SCRATCHING now better (does it feel and sound better) with this VCI300 (in traktor!) than with the vci100 ?

Is it written in RealBasic as it is cross-platform?

Cross Platform

The article above says that the mini.Translator app will be with the vci-100se upgrade pack – but is it going to be made publicly available as a standalone application ?

I'm currently waiting for the VCI-300 to hit stores before I get it – it fits within my ?500 GBP budget, and means I dont have to go and get a seperate soundcard / mixer (as I would have to for the -100)

Yes, I'm new to the whole midi-controller-style of DJing; the -300 appears to be perfect for my requirements. The ability to use this app to get the -300 away from the supplied Itch s/w if needs be…

ok, nice, fine!!!!

is SCRATCHING now better (does it feel and sound better)

with this VCI300 (translated into traktor!)

than with the vci100 (in traktor) ?

or only possible but still not nicer like with itch?

great device

Hey Ean. is the mini.translator out or is it still being tested. I just bought the vci-300 and I have Traktor already setup using BCD3000 but I will install the itch that comes with the 300, but I would like to keep using Traktor on it also. I was looking at the Vci-100 but don't want to hook up any other cards or adapters such as a soundcard when you can get everything in one like the vci-300. But until mini.translator comes out I will be playing with the itch a minute.

The translator is just about ready, send me an email and we will give you a demo version to test out.

Thanks

is the mini.translator out yet as the one i have downloaded seems to have expired?

I too would like to have the midi.T! I had the vci 100 and returned it for the vci 300. I have found that itch is substandard to Traktor in every way. Any help in using Traktor with the 300 would be greatly appreciated.

We just sent out a free update of mini T to everyone subscribed to the list above. Anyone can sign up to the mini T list and receive the software and patch as a free download. Use the form above to sign up.

sorry the download form for mini translator is not in this post as mentioned above but actually here:

http://www.djtechtools.com/2008/10/08/vci-300-pat…

Ean,

will there also come a TSI file, that you created for te 100, for the 300 ?

YEs,

I will work on a TSI file but I recommend you also start on one as we really have our plate full at the moment. :(

I follow all the step to install the mini.t and the patch. What it does is it installs about 8 MIDI new ports, and after I try to use the mini.t

a message on the patch says "1: Project file refused because it is not correctly signed.

Use Bome's Midi Translator Author to create signed project files for MT Player."

What should I do? I can not use my traktor 3.4.

Hello,

Can you send me please the download link for the mini translator. i simly want to connect my Tractor to the VCI 300.

Thanks,

Tomer

hey everybody, is the tool down ? just bought the vci-300 because of scratching mp3´s and using effects in traktor …but i´ve never get the link for download….thats very very sad…maybe i had to sell it …please help.
