[derschaich]

hey guys,

I've been working on a custom mapping for my VCI-100 (FW 1.4 now!!!) as there is no banging one from DJTT by now for Traktor 2 (afasik).

so here is my mapping sceme (hope it is understandable, if not feel free to ask me )

Sorry guys, had a bug on the modifiers. transports for deck B were disabled.

Fixed it and updated the file on the traktor bible server (Version 0-4_bugfix)!

SCHAICH'S VCI MAPPING

So here's my current mapping for the Vestax VCI-100 in Traktor Pro 2 that I'd like to share with you.

It offers full deck control over A and B, the new Loop Recorder, and two "Liquid Decks" (check description below).



Short description:

LIQUID DECKS:
Well, the liquid decks are an idea I came up with to be able to switch quickly between sample decks and regular playback decks. I solved this issue by making use of the 3 banks in the to-right corner of the VCI. In each bank you an eather adress deck C or D by pressing the tiny black buttons on the top (control-state also indicated by LED).

Playback mode fader:
The fader to the right acts - if you currently control a sample deck - as a modifier to the playback mode and allows you to easily switch between Cue/Play and Play-Toggle. If the fader is in the center position you can easily change the playmode of a sample (one-shot or loop) by pressing the dedicated button. (Buttons 1-4 for sample 1-4)

Sample Deck control:
If you control a sample deck, the Sample-Buttons 1-4 control the playback of each slot, the knobs control the volume.

Playback Deck control:
If you control a playback deck, the Sample-Buttons 1-4 turn into basic transport controls, the knobs control LOW - MID - HIGH, the fader to the right controls the volume.

First Bank:
Two Sample Decks on deck C and D.

Second Bank:
Sample slots on deck C, playback deck on deck D.

Third Bank:
Two playback decks on deck C and D.

I hope everyone enjoys this!

Here are the other "special" controls on this mapping:

Hold BROWSER:
- View switches to full browser
- Select playlist from favourites with left JOG
- Direct access Sample Library with RECORD
- Load Track to Deck A/B with A or B BUTTON
- Load to Sample Bank with PURPLE BUTTONS below the jogs (transport controls disabled in Browser View)
- Load Track to deck C/D with SAMPLER LOAD (choose destination with C/D button on the left of it)

Hold A or B BUTTON:
- Copy current track to deck C/D with SAMPLER LOAD (choose destination with C/D button on the left of it)
- Beatjump ± 8 counts with BEAT JUMP
- Zoom deck view with DECK ZOOM ±
- Monitor Deck with MONITOR (same as BROWSER); this also normalizes deck zoom
- Manipulate loop size by x2, /2 or directly acess values from 4-32 in the LOOP SECTION

Loop Recorder:
- Press RECORD to record from current source
- Load recorded loop to sample decks with PURPLE BUTTONS below the jogs
- Clear loop recorder with SAMPLER LOAD + PLAY

JUGGLE mode (activate by pressing JUGGLE once, indicated by lit button):
- Select/Set Hotcues 5-8 with PURPLE BUTTONS
- Transport controls of respective decks are disabled while in this mode

Downloaded your mapping having a problem with the platters not scrolling And no scratching ,all they do is move pitch all the way up .AND it crashed twice . Am I doing something wrong

[derschaich]

are you on firmware 1.4? some notes changed from firmware 1.2 to firmware 1.4.

this mapping is for the latter one.

hope this helps.

anyone got it working besides me?

[deejaygee]

auctually i was on 1.4 but something happened dont know what had to reflash working good now

[derschaich]

glad it worked out for you!

would really apprechiate some feedback on my work so far!

I already programmed my own modified version of mappings to use TP2 with my VCI-100 SE

If you want I can send it to you. djmokmoon@live.com

Its really nice to use. your pitch control faders are the volume controls for Deck C and D and are all time live. If select the C or D deck you are in control off all features using the sample decks.

Try it .... I like it a lot.....
