Hello to everyone - I’m a fairly new VCI user, and am new to DJTT. Great site by the way, thanks Ean and the community for really stepping up and creating a valuable resource. I just wanted to say that I got around the ramp up problem with notes A#3 and H3 (at note on), which work great. I’ve never heard of using A#2 and B2, but if that works that means that v1.2 is sending out at least 3 different note on messages when the jog wheel is touched. Crazy. I was wondering why no one noticed that Vestax’s stock tks file was still using old values, wasn’t sure if I was missing something…

Thanks to Emil for bringing up the subject, and finding the solution on another forum and posting it on ours. :)

Now if only I knew how to scratch I’d know if the ramp up issue was solved finally.

No credits to me ey? Damn you people! :P Also, it was not the help of DJTT people that I solved it. I was randomly browsing forums for something else when someone touched the subject and there it was, the holy answer to my dreaded problem.

On the other hand, I am DJTT forum people so, okay, DJTT forum people did help to provide an answer. :)

In any case, thanks for bringing this into the light because scratching has been the only sucky feature since I bought my divine VCI 100 and now it is finally omnipotent.

that is incredibly weird. sorry for the hassle. I do have the sticker that sayz v 1.2 and it passes the on/off jog wheel light test but I guess that proves irrelevant
well I just remembered I have v 1.3 lying around, so time to upgrade.

when I midi learn the jogs wheels they just learn the same default values.

Then you dont have the new firmware. make sure you learn the value for when you first touch the platter, not when you release it. these are 2 different values.

So if this is all about CC note values, might an “accelerated” setting do the trick for those of us who want a more turntable-like performance? For instance, with scratch DJ’s…it’s all about the slip mats so as soon as you let go of the record, there’s instant action. Now I will say “scratching” on our VCI-SE’s is not a problem in my opinion. It’s cutting and backspins that are the issue. Cutting (or chopping) is pulling the record slightly back and then forth; equivalent to what the pause button does on the SE. However, that quick forward motion has a slight drag. Might accelerated CC notes solve that problem?
