That's strange... I'm not having any problems with this on my Macbook Pro.

Yes, they have the same funtion. It's so you can fast tap a tempo on them with two fingers.

They do, they are mapped to move loop. When you have pushed the autoloop and you see the loop needs a little adjusting, you can fine adjust it back or forth with these buttons. They are also set to auto repeat so when you hold down the button the loop wil move correction moves faster.

That's so you always can tell by the look of the controller that you have got a loop active on that deck. Good question though. I think I used the sensor button because at the time I couldn't figure out how to keep the autoloop buttin lit.

Yes, If you remove the according mapping. Now the schratch function is turned on as soon as you touch the touch sensitive part of the jog wheel.

Press cue1 button, the cue1 is set. Press cue1 button for second time, go to cue1. Shift button and press cue1 button, erase cue 1. Same for cue 2, ....?

Yes, tat coould be made possible with a modifier. Say you map the sensor button as a modifier (if you dont want it as a feedback for your loop), you could map it so when you haven't got the sensor (midifier) button pressed in the cue1 button places the cue and when the sensor (modifier) burron is pressed down and you press the cue1 button, it jumps to cue point 1.

thnks for the info Morbido! cheers!

np

itch has some kind of overdrive option which increases the volume of the headphone cue... but sadly traktor doesn't have that kind of feature... (but as said, it heavily depends on the headphones used)

i'm really happy with my 300, as it's (with itch) as reliable as turntables (i guess even more than dvs systems), it's compact, it's always the same setup and really simple to use (so you can have a few beer and still make mix somewhat good

) and lug around... it's really perfect for me!
sometimes i'd wish to mix externally though... has it's pros and cons...

and sometimes the simplicity of the unit is too much for me

so i'm reeeeally looking forward to some UBERfeatures from our djtt genius in charge - mr. bento!
you have like the golden touch for everything tech- and music related - so i know when i load the djtt tsi once it's released it's gonna make my vci-300 shine all golden

Hey i know this is a little off topic but i was wondering if anyone has heard any updates regarding the vestax vfx-1 to accompany the vci-300. and if so, is this controller going to be able to be mapped with other programs outside of itch. sorry im pretty new to controllerism so i dont know much about mapping. thanks for your help

**Morbido** · 08-06-2009, 03:09 PM

didn't hear any news, but i'm pretty sure (although i don't know) that it'll be a standard midi controller, so it will be usable with any midi capable software, like traktor pro for example...

Recent mappings are available in the thread called "Vci-300 tsi": http://www.djtechtools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15455

I'm working on my own mapping and I'll post it to that thread when I get it working properly.. I'm trying to make it close to ITCH functionality.
