Just ridiculous. A whole new standard. Amazing

This is crazy! Bow 300 times!

wow nice… I hear everybody wanting a sampler there u go… this mapping is amazing.. great stuff..

nice work djtt! i ordered my vci-100se recently, does it come with the latest mapping and overlay??

WELL I KNEW I HAD TO GET ONE BUT NOW IM 10000% CONVINCED OF THAT NEEEEEEEEEEEED THIS CUTE THINGIE…BUT WITH ARCADE BUTTONS!!

GREAT JOB ON THE MAPPING…btw, will there be further official djtt-mappings dedicated to genres like electro or rock..would love to see that done :D

AMAZING!

Awesome–think its time to order that VCI 100 SE

hahaha you guys have broken it now!!
can’t wait to start testing this new mapping, thank you so much!

Word to all your mothers
x

Cheers for the videos.
Great jobs about this tsi.

Wow thats some brilliant stuff, im thinking its time to order the SE, was it just my comp or half way through the second tutorial it started glitching??

Holy mother of God!! that is some serious sh!t :D

I had the same problem as the caper on part 2.

2nd on that, if i order one now will it have 3.0 overlay or still the one for 2.0?

God dam I’m in controller limbo! I’m a digital dj via dvs, so having an all in 1 controller like the vci 100 with turntable’s and a mixer has always seemed like a bit of a over kill, so I’ve generally kept things modular when buying controllers. But every time a post come’s up about the vci I get filled with envy. This looks like a great mapping, good work!
++
Does any one here use a vci 100 to complement there dvs set up, the fader fx really draws me in. But it’s so annoying the virtual faders can’t be used when in external mode, I’d love to use a vci to control decks c and d while using dvs to control a and b. Fingers crossed N.I will free up the virtual faders in future updates!

wow.amazing!!!!!!!!11

So what is the procedure for putting on the NEW overlay if you have the OLD/updated overlay? Does it pull off easy? Do we lay the new overlay right over the previous? I ordered mine Monday. Let us know. I wanna slap it on as soon as I get it.

How do you get the fx parameters as they are in the 2nd video?
by that I mean – not pots on the screen but wee lines. sorry dunno how to describe them!

[/quote]

in the same boat here. i think i knoe exactly what im saving up for next!!!!!! YEOW!

Haha, two last question sum up what I came here to ask, so yeah! Overlay and cool look on FX?

Weeeeee! I’ve been waiting for these vids with much excitement – thanks Ean! Pre-ordered the overlays a few weeks ago. Can’t wait to get them on my VCI-100 so I can actually know what buttons I’m pressing :)

INSANE!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait for the new overlay

Hmmm… am I the only that thinks it’s way to complicated (too many functions to one button) to make it intiutive?

That`s awesome mapping and really amazing solution! I`ll try to use it and write a mapping 4 my BCD2000!

is there gonna be a video available about vci 300 and fx1 mapping with midipipe for itch?

I’m still trying to learn the old mapping and overlay. Fawk!!! This was insane. Wonder if I can copy some of the modifiers into the old mapping.

I ordered my VCI-100SE at the beginning of January and I have emailed back and forth a bit and the new batch should be coming out with the new 3.0 overlays.

[quote comment="27342"]Hmmm… am I the only that thinks it’s way to complicated (too many functions to one button) to make it intiutive?[/quote]

I think this is a positive thing and what makes the whole controllerism/digital DJing experience unique.

are you using this mapping michiel.what functions per buttons are making it un-intuative for you because the only ones i can think of are the loop/effect ones which if you used the 2.5 version before you wouldbe used to it.personally this one rocks for me.or it will when i can get it working properly.

Had my VCI for 3 months……I love it……it goes so well with Traktor!!!

Ive told my bro to sell up his 800′s and go digital…..all ya music….so many FX and tools to use…

The VCI is an awesome piece of kit….i really dont know who is gonna top it TBH…for a while!! It can do almost everything thats needed….with a little help from DJTT

Too complicated? Good tools take time to learn and practice to master. This is an industrial strength mapping, you want simple to use? Look elsewhere. Pretty much everywhere else does “simple to use”, but don’t have half the functionality of this mapping.

Awesome work. The last mapping was all about FX and it made them useable, this mapping has tightly integrated workflows for cues and juggling. So happy!

After importing the mapping everything is imported besides VCI-100 mapping (but keyboard mapping is imported). Does anybody else have this problem?

All the controller seems to do is turn on and off different effects, which even a trained chimp could manage.

There is just no skill invovled in this way of djing. Watch ean along side a scratch dj a certain events and I feel embarassed for him. Hes there pressing a few button and turning the wheel a random to turn on and off effects, no wonder he hides behind is hair.

SAD.

You probably have an older version of Traktor Pro. Please make sure your using 1.24 or later and it should import without any problems.

No need for DJ elitism here. These are two different modes of playing–turntablism and controllerism. I would like to see you create the kind of mapping and innovative technological advances he has done. Or you can scratch along some Flo Rida.

Removing the old overlays is a bit of a chore but it can be done with some tugging. We found that a hair dryer helps soften up the adhesive and make it easier to pull off. The easiest and recommended way is just to place the new one right on top of the old (we specifically chose an adhesive that allows for that)

Right, but scratching died in 1999 and most of the so called “scratchers” are rudimentary at best. What’s awesome on the VCI is that you control four decks alongside a ton of other things. Last time I checked, you can’t scratch on four decks or loop them up live, let alone keep it all in sync.

Let me listen to a set where you have 4
decks looping with effects. It will sound a
mess and be too confusing to go anywhere.
Especially if it’s over hour or so.

Listen to that moldover and it sounds rubbish
and like a megamix from the 80s

All theseeffects just cloud the basis of djing which is
to take the crowd on a journey eg. sasha Or there
is turntablism which takes genuine skill and
years of practice to perfect eg dj craze. This kind of djing

is neither and that’s why it will never be accepted
along side them two as standard.

[quote post="4961"]All theseeffects just cloud the basis of djing which is

Cliche or what?! Lol

[quote post="4961"]eg. sasha[/quote]

Who uses Ableton?

Hey man, people need to chill, whatever makes you and the crowd happy. There’s alot of stuff that Controllerists can do that Turntableists can’t and visa versa.
Be what you be, don’t hate?

@Dan, We bow down to you and your superior race of journey takers and fr-fr-freeshers! Your right that is far superior to whats happening here and if Ean was blending one prog record into another over and over for 6 hrs or scratchin so much it makes him itch I’m sure he would get a haircut.

Hawtin manages to use 4 decks pretty damn well without it sounding hectic at all. He is using traktor and controllers and effects. I suppose he is fighting to be accepted is he? Is this a wind-up?

You guys just have officially lifted MIDI mapping into rocket science. The results are nothing short of amazing and spectacular. However, it requires some serious devotion and training to get comfortable to these kind of triple-function-per-button mappings in front of a live audience. Only for the real controllerists…

That was perfect.Everything need its time to feel with it comfortable.Anyone who feels that he is ok with the old one(which is also perfect)he could stay there.

i love scratchin and turntablism , but its time to move on i get bored when i see beat juggling over and over again , who really buys tunes anymore

thks dj tt 3.0 is amazing

[quote comment="27361"]All theseeffects just cloud the basis of djing which is to take the crowd on a journey eg. sasha[/quote]
sasha uses ableton live and a unique controller custom made for him…

when you gonna do one for the xponent?

Dan is the same guy from the 50s that rather have his jukebox than a dj

thanks for all the positive feedback guys- Lets not let one confused commenter ruin the thread.

In reality, my 2 personal goals have been totally in line with what Dan wants- he is just getting caught up in the medium.

Goal # 1. Make a controller playable as an instrument (like a turntable). Not so they can replace turntablists but so we can jam together in an expressive and free form manner. The midi-fighter is almost there, but I readily admit we have not succeeded yet in creating this instrument.

People need to remember the time it took to take us from grand-master flash to Q-bert. Nearly 20 years! Dan would have probably said a similar thing back then too:

” All the dj seems to do is move the record back and forth, which even a trained chimp could manage”

Chimps can also blow air into a tube, but its the manner in which its done that creates a Miles Davis.

GOAL # 2. Create controller interfaces and mappings that are so intuitive and fluid that the dj can lose themselves in the mix taking everyone on a journey (dj and audience).

I personally came from playing desert raves in the mid 90′s to deep underground house and techno and it was always about the journey. Controllers dont make it any less so, you just have to learn the instrument so well that is disappears and all thats left is the experience.

When My arcade edition arrived a couple of weeks ago I was averaging 4 hours of sleep a night during the first week. I am now getting ready for some more long nights with my new instrument!

One question I can’t get the sampler to work……No matter what I try!

Anyway

I am loving this!

Nevermind about the sampler dl’ed new tsi and am rocking the house!

Wow!

Thanks for the incredible new mapping. I really think this mapping hit a new level of efficiency and intuitiveness. Although a couple people have said that it is too complicated, I think with a little bit of practice 3.0 will be both easier to use and more powerful than 2.5.

I can’t imagine what you’re going to find to improve for a 3.5 mapping down the road! I’m thinking that the next level is going to be a really full on, integrated DJ TechTools mapping for the vci-100 + midi fighter mk.2 + foot pedal(s)… Something that really explores the boundaries of that next level intuitive control and expression that Ean is referring to.

I also wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone here for maintaining a such a high standard of communication on this site. This is honestly the the most pleasant internet community that I have ever encountered. I think that the open and respectful communication that exists here is essential to really nurture creative growth and collaboration! I was already stoked on this sight, but the creation of the MidiFighter, this new mapping, and the maturity of Ean’s response to Dan have really just put me over the top!

Thanks and mad props to everyone who makes up Dj TechTools!

Props to you guys, this is amazing and I can’t wait to get my SE now. Nearly there with the cash!!!
I think the layout now seems to be better and the dedicate Slice/ Echo seems a good addition, still think the sampler is one of the best things, allows so much creativity. The fader FX seem to have been tightened up which works well, will have to wait and see when I get mine.
@ Dan – [quote post="4961"]Hes there pressing a few button and turning the wheel at random to turn on and off effects[/quote]
As opposed to moving a record on platter and moving the cross fader backwards and forwards a few times? This is a very general view, I’m not getting at you mate but that’s just like saying that playing a piano is just hitting a few keys in the right order, building a house is sticking a couple of bricks together. Slightly missing the point me thinks.

@ Dan; Whether you’re scratchin, jugglin, controllin loopin or just plain mixin it up…..it don’t matter whats in the bag; We got oldskool cats rockin vinyl or the digitalists loopin shiza up with Traktor. At the end of the day, we’re all here for the music. Right?

On that front…..DJTT holdin it down. Fact. I havn’t seen anyone sharing the love in this scene with this kind of dedacation.

Serious props for the DJTT team from your boys in Amsterdam.

I gave my 7 year old nephew a go on traktor and he made a nice little set, with loops, sync two tunes and twiddled some effects, infact I was shocked I could of sworn it was craze. But when I got him on the sl1200 and asked him to scratch even the basics or just loop two beats guess what he couldnt.

Thats the same for alot of wannabe djs on here, there too lazy to learn real skills and dont try to say usuing traktor takes the same skill and dececation as qbert etc you will just make your self look stupid.

Childsplay.

post your 7 year old sons mix Dan the Man im sure its fucking amazing.

Dan, noone cares mate! Get it a grip ye fat mess.

@ Dan
I think everyone here will agree that it is each to their own. I don’t think that I have ever heard Fat Boy Slim or Tiesto scrtach and beat juggle in the times i have heard their sets, just like I don’t think I have seen Qbert beat mixing electro and making 1000′s of people dance at a festival? The 2 things you are talking about require totally different skill sets and I think if you asked either of those sets of people, each would respect the other for what they do. I personally can’t scratch very well but rarely need it in the sort of sets I play. When I play I like to have control of the four decks, i like the ability to play with FX and looping on the hop. To take things to the next level you need these in a system like traktor and a actuator to allow this to happen (ie the VCI 100SE). I think you’re comment about your nephew is naive as I’m sure if you asked him to try and produce a set like Ean he would get no where near? Ean has spent years of his life to get to this point and make this mapping and for you to just quash it in a throw away comment shows that you obviously don’t understand.
We all love music and manipulate it in our own way and just want to make people dance, that’s all Qbert wants to do and the same as Fat Boy Slim. Let people do what they do, skill is involved at every level!! Don’t hate?

do turntablists hate the internet too? its killing the pure artform of libraries!

Come on guys, don’t feed the troll…

Also, I’m on the list for a new overlay, are they going to be sent out soon?

can i put a third overlay ontop for v3 on my arcade vci?
i now have 2 stacked
will i still be able to have clearance for all the little buttons?
i would like to go to v3..
ean..please advise

will definately be implementing the fx presets into my current mapping on my rig. Also like how the jog controls two fx parameters at once in the video. Do you find that it limits creativity since the motion only performs one routine of the effect? Or can you control the advanced fx however you want in your mapping? Also how does the midi fighter work in conjuction with the 3.0 mapping?

dang forgot to include my name!

@ Ean:
Great job!Only one question (please!)
Is the fx preset “switch function” obtained by complex midi mappings or I miss something??
-Thanx-

my up faders wont work with the fader fx mode but every thing else works ok any ideas

Absolutely amazing mapping. Well done DJTT.

I think what Ean and all the DJTT have done and will keep on doing is cracking! Learnt loads since reading their site6 months a go! I think its brilliant the way music, djing and producing changes. Keeps things fresh! Yeah the VCI can be a bit daunting with multi functioning buttons etc but you get a heap of tunes ready and get ya stuff set-up at a house party and get ya head down all night on it, you will be still be having fun and creating something new at 6 in the morning! Ive never been more pleased with a purchase! With traktor you can pull of a pretty much flawless mix but its all the extra bits combined with the VCI you can do which make it special! Just wish I was as good as Ean ha

DEAD SMART!

Give it some henry!

props djtechtool.1 question-progressive pitch bend.???im missing it.anyone else?

Dan you need to learn a lot.
Beatmixing was the first form of Djing even before scratching.

Really can’t belive some of the closed minded comments dropping out of Dan’s mouth, wot on earth is he doing on this blog if this is his feeling towards digital dj’n!?
++++++
I’ve been a turntablist for 13 years, been to watch dmc world finals 8 time’s and counting. I don’t claim to be an amazing scratch dj, but there isn’t a thing about the scratch scene I don’t know. (Please check the uploads on my youtube channel if you need proof of my scratch abilities http://www.youtube.com/user/djdubadutch )
++++++
With all this to take into account, I look at the digital dj as cheating or easy, hell no! If Dan understood or new anything about turntablism he’d remember all the similar closed minded comment’s made by the so called purist’s when scratch/battle records first turned up. A turntablist is someone who maximizes the creative use of there equipment, some one who endeavors to venture outside the traditional dj box. Which is why any real pro turntablist would respect a real pro controllerist, rather than just prove how little he knows by making embarrassing uneducated comments.
+++++++
What are your dj credentials then Dan? at least if you was a red hot scratch dj you might have a tiny platform to base your wise words on. Come on lets see a link to prove why you think your in the position to make these comments.
+++++++
Sure there’s plenty of guys giving digital dj’s a bad name by using powerful dj software to only mix traditionally and yeah there’s many youtube vids of Traktor djs playing with one effect in its rawest form for 5mins. But there’s many dj’s who are using software to do things that just aren’t possible on turntable’s to great effect. It’s not about what you use it’s what you do with it.
++++++
While my juggling skills aren’t anything to get to excited about, I can perform many of the top end scratch’s. Soooo what…. just because I’ve learnt to accurately cut the fader to precise record movements doesn’t make me any better than a dj who’s perfected fx use and cue point juggling.

wha version of traktor pro is this mapping made for?

my fx slots dont look like that

this is awesome, best mapping for this thing i’ve seen yet. im loving the dedicated deck c and d buttons. two questions, 1) are you going to put up the info for how we can change what we want our 4 preset fx to be and 2) does this mapping glitch/work for the earliest generation of vci 100s (i got mine when they first came out)

The workflow is top notch on this mapping.
Not sure about the dedicated slicer button tho. I woulda picked a different effect for that button (will prob swap it out for something else). props for an amazing effort and hard work.

My only real gripe is track selection. Anyway an up/down repeat function could be added? That way instead of pushing the up/down buttons continuously to navigate long lists, you can just press and hold? Is this possible?

@dan. I can control using my VCI and also have my Decks with TC vinyl. I now have both worlds and can use both. I now need a challenge…which is getting to learn to use both together. This is to give a better performance and keep me learning and enjoying. Whats wrong with that? Take a look at DJ Rafik latest vids. Tell me that is not a new style of jamming tunes together. Sure….thats just a showcase….but think of the madness he can pull using all that shit for a few hours. Come on mate…..your ignorance is showing…..no offense.

I’m using a regular VCI-100 with a filmware upgrade but I’m not having any luck with some of the features such as the fx preset setup and the lights when trying to sample a song…any suggestions? is there another version of the filrmware update that needs to be used?

I couldn’t read this without my 2cents on Dan.

I get your point Dan. Several of us (including me) came from the turntable days. Scratching, body tricks, the whole 9. The Controllerism age is not trying to claim that this is better, requires more (or less) skill. It’s just another way to entertain a crowd (who could give a rat’s *ss how you’re doing it).

In TV, all shows once were live. Early on, editing involved tape splicing & stacks of compressors. Now a guy on a laptop & 1 camera can make A HIT MOVIE! Can you say Paranormal activity?
Dan, if you’re one of the highly skilled in the traditional area of turntables, I personally commend you (feel free to post a youtube if you can handle the feedback). But give these guys & me a break. We don’t spin for ourselves, we spin for the people. There are guys who rock stadiums with tens of thousands of people for tens of thousands of dollars AND the controller is on the big screens. If you wanna do your 7 year old a service, teach him how to book one of those gigs & he can buy us all lunch.

I’m just having fun with you Dan but really, it’s just another way to do it. Not better, not worse, not anything. Just another way. Don’t take it all so seriously. There are vinyl purists who STILL wonder why you turntable dudes keep altering their masterpieces of jazz & R&B by putting your fingerprints all over the vessel that carry those classic sounds. See the pattern? Again, it’s just another way.

You’ll never catch most of the Food Network chef’s in a McDonald’s drive thru. But over a BILLION people don’t mind that their burger isn’t a hand-pressed, grade A ground beef, grilled patty in the backyard. I’ve got a million of ‘em. It’s just another way dude. Just another way. I would like to see a video of you. Not to judge but because I do still love & respect turntable DJ’s. If you don’t, it’s all good & hopefully all is sincerely well with you.

Peace & blessings!

oh and @Dan, you’re a fucking tool.. the extent of your DJ career clearly spans to watching the legends scratch on youtube, and then glancing over at your 1200s feeling ashamed at your lack of talent/dedication. who are you, Qbert’s lawyer? you need to get out more..

Has anyone attempted to a design and print their own overlay for the VCI??? Want the new mappings so need new overlay, was gonna put a personal touch on it and design and somehow make the overlay myself…maybe a graphic or something!!!

Dont mind purchassing TechTools pre-made one but wanted something a bit more personal like!!

COOL STUFF!!!
great job once again DJTT!!
I do have a question thou..
I was trying to import this TSI file,
but it didn’t let me import MIDI mapping and Hotkey settings. (couldn’t click on boxes on select categories to import menu)
any idea?
thanks

Ok no need to get so work up. Maybe Ive hit a raw nerve or maybe your right and you are all taking this artform to new hights. I just prefer to use my own skill set to entertain a crowd rather than a pentium processer and Traktor.

Also There are people on here who say there from the oldskool days of turntablism, but honestly I dont believe any serious turntablist even knows about this site, let alone is intrested.

Ean well done, at least your making money out of promoting these toys.

i guess that qbert comment was a hoax, but they did name of several dmc champions who all use
digital equipment (and that guy from australia on torq, what’s his name) regardless, i think the point of mp3′s is to pull up to the gig in a jag and a bookbag instead of 2 cars filled with old milk crates, at least that’s been the “revolution” for me… Honestly the record sounds the same if it’s timecode or the original pressing

v3 mapping = awesome

nice work DJ TechTool guys!

WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN!!!!!!!!!
Just got my new overlay on, dl’ed the Traktor Pro 1.2.4 update & imported the V3.3 SE mapping. This raises the bar to a level which all controllers should be set.
Fucking fabulous!
Great work DJTTs! Thanks a bunch!!!

Hey ean I found a little bug with the mapping i hope you guys can fix. If you turn scratch off and use the echo effect the echo freeze doesn’t work…

MAY I SUGGEST A DISCOUNT FOR CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE PURCHASED PREVIOUS OVERLAY VERSIONS. 3 OVERLAYS COSTING OVER $90 IS TOO MUCH..

@Dan

There you go. There’s nothing wrong with preference & I agree with you. A serious turntablist wouldn’t need to be here. Welcome, yes. Need, nah.

Ean,

Who’s the guy scratching @ the beginning of tutorial pt. 1? Any special setups or configurations or is that just a case of practice makes perfect?

Ean,
So now that I’ve bought an overlay 6 months ago for the old VCI Mapping version 2, do I have to re-purchase a new overlay? I mean I know you guys spend countless hours perfecting this awesome controller mapping and this is a business for you all, but is there any kind of discount I can get on the new overlay since I just bought version 2 already? I think it would be a good customer service move. Either that or throw in some knobs or something with the new overlay :)

BTW, I love the site and it should have been entered in the IDMAs. I would have voted for sure!

[quote comment="27744"]MAY I SUGGEST A DISCOUNT FOR CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE PURCHASED PREVIOUS OVERLAY VERSIONS. 3 OVERLAYS COSTING OVER $90 IS TOO MUCH..[/quote]

I agree with this.

[...] Compared to the newer controllers on the market, the Oxygen 8 and this interface is relatively simple and somewhat primitive. To be honest though, I kind of like it that way. The interface does just a few things really well, and it’s really hard to screw anything up. Download the mapping and sign up for update emails here, but don’t expect updates too regularly — this controller is my favorite old 66 Coupe DeVille. I take her out of the garage every once in a while and tinker with the engine on weekends, but generally I like to keep things the way they were. For the latest and greatest in modern DJ technology, there is always the Midi-Fighter and our new completely insane VCI-100 V3 mapping. [...]

My only real gripe is track selection. Anyway an up/down repeat function could be added? That way instead of pushing the up/down buttons continuously to navigate long lists, you can just press and hold? Is this possible?[/quote]

I was DJing last night, and it hit me that i can just hold down the up/down arrows on my laptop keyboard to “fast” scroll long lists…

mapping is pretty much flawless… now just gotta do the firmware upgrade.

YES, Think you have my attention…

SPEACHLESS, BREATHTAKING.
BETTER THAN SEX???!!!!!!!

And oh my god… I own 2 of these baby’s. And the overlays are on it’s way!

Just received my VCI 100 SE Arcade last night…. its crazy cool… learning all the tricks…. no sleep last night LOL…. hey is there any way to download these tutorials instead of streaming?

Thanks DJTT

I have to agree on the discount for earlier purchases of the overlay, Im def gonna get annonyed at having to pay the same price as a newcomer,as it were, I have purchased quite a few things from DJTT , and that ‘to keep up with the jones’ I have to buy another overlay…………Cmon guys play fair and give us a little discount……or some free buttons or something!.

Personally i think DJTT has put a lot of time into this TSI file and i think the least you do to support is pay the price i mean seriously,

Really?? I mean like I mentioned before, I can appreciate the time and they do a great job, but seriously I just bought an overlay 6 months ago. It’s just doing good business. You have a repeat loyal customer…treat them like one. Don’t scam them with a new overlay every six months. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not hating cause I learn a lot of DJTT…I’m just saying don’t turn into poor business habits. Take care of your peeps a little. I’m not asking for a free one….just a discount..$10 off or something.

We spent the past 6 months working really hard on this new mapping. Countless man hours went into testing and refining that mapping. How else are we going to re-coup that cost other than to charge for a new overlay?

I am all for giving back to loyal customers but further discounting the overlays is just not an option. Any other suggestions will be considered fully.

There are a lot of people that think we could charge for the mappings because they are so unique but I have refused to do that. We let you use it for free and then purchase to overlay to help support the creators and cover our costs. That seems to be a win-win situation for our customers and us.

it seems like a very fair trade, if you want to use the new mapping permanently- support us with the purchase of a new overlay. If not- no big deal you can continue to sue the old one or the new mapping for free.

@the House > I had the same feeling when I first bought my VCI SE but every overlay untill now (2) brought us many great improvements. Yes, I know, It’s going very fast and you just have time to get used to one that it changes… Ok. But If you don’t need all the options, keep yours or buy a blank one where you changes the labels when you want without spending a penny.

But,for me, the new overlay is not an option as it really brings ease of use for juggling and Fxs and 4 deck control.

Continue like this… I bought a VCI100 SE and the two overlays that came after (I just received the last one) and I’ve planned to buy a midifighter later this year when the setup will be more efficient (and there is no doubt for me that it will be when I look toward the 3.4 TSI and what you all did since the first Traktor pro release).

For the moment, I use my VCI once or twice a week without a glitch and untill the things turn bad, I ‘ll remain a loyal customer.

Your business model has all my sympathy.It’s respectful of the customers, it grows slowly but surely and to me (and many others) you represent the future of digital mixing.
Keep going!

Hi Ean – Many Thanks for all your great work. I for one believe that you are right to charge for the overlays and if people want to use your clever TSI’s then they should be prepared to pay something.

Anyway I just wanted to check if it is still possible to use the jogwheel to select tracks in the browser window like I just watched in an old video??? This is a great idea and it would be great if it’s in the new mapping… anyone know?

Cheers

this is wicked sick. i wish i got the SE version, but unfortunately, i just ordered the standard VCI 100 a couple days ago. anyway DJTT puts out mappings and updates for the non SE version of the VCI100? or anyone know where to find out? im just curious as to how advanced the standard mapping is

Hey the mappings great, i cant seem to be able to find out how to browse or scan through a track?? (just to make sure its the actually the right one)can someone help.. thanks.
