    you have to open mini.translator first - it'll open and you'll see a small window of the app. then you have to drag a file called something like "vci300.bmte" right onto the window of the opened app. that's all, it should work then.

    for troubleshooting there's a small (unlit) blue dot right on the mini.translator window, if you have dragged the .bmte file onto mini.translator and have connected your vci-300 with your imac and move anything on the controller (jogs, buttons, faders, ...) then the blue dot should light up.

    Default mini.translator help

    Thanks for your reply. I've been trying to drag the vci-300pg1.tks file that was on the same page as the original mini.translator download page. So you're saying I was trying to drag the wrong file? Where do I get the vci300.bmte file? Also, I don't see a blue dot in my mini.translator window. I see a black dot right above the "preset". Is that what you're talking about? Thanks in advance for your help!

    yep, sorry, didn't use the mini.translator quite some time - so i didn't really remember well

    i mean exactly this black dot, if you twist a knob, push a button, turn the jog or do something similar on your vci-300 (while it is connected and the right file is loaded) then this dot should turn blue.

    the vci-300pg1.tks file is the midi mapping file for traktor 3 - so unless you want to use traktor you don't need this file.

    you can get the .bmte file here:

    there's also a installation guide.

    nop, i'm using a mac myself

    just don't normally click the file but right (or control) click it and choose save as and you should be fine.

    I figured it out! You can't download the .bmte file using Safari. I tried downloading with Firefox and it worked. For whatever reason, it doesn't work with Safari. I got the blue light to come on in mini.translator following the directions for installation and setup. Thanks for your help! I've never mapped out a midi controller for a software. If there isn't a mapping file, how does one assign? I'd like to use my 300 with a few different softwares. I'm planning to buy MixVibes Cross. Is there a mapping file for it and how would I install it. I'm also using Disco XT and DJ1800. If there's a tutorial on how to assign these controls, I'd appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks again....Steve

    it also works on safari, but not with a simple click, only by right-clicking and choosing save as...

    mapping a midi controller totally depends on what software you wanna use - so i'm afraid but i can't help you with mapping your 300 with mixvibes. i'd suggest you to go to the mixvibes forum and ask them if they have got a mapping for your controller

    personally i only use itch and traktor - so if you have questions about mapping your controller for traktor then feel free to ask.

    never used mixvibes though, so i guess someone else has got to help you!

    Default mini.translator help

    I found one problem with the VCI-300 and mini.translator. It won't read the "Master" volume knob (Knob 14 in the Manual diagram) or the "Monitor" volume knob (Knob 16). Every other knob, slider and button is being read. Any suggestions?

    that's because the vci300 has got a soundcard built in. and these knobs directly control the output volume of the soundcard. that's why these knobs don't send midi messages
