VCI-400 Problem

[RD444]

Don't know, don't thinks so from what I remember but you can map it and sort by Mapping to see if there are multiple functions assigned to the same midi (they will be highlighted)

When mapping the VCI-400, you want to remember that:

1) Flipping the A/C B/D switch will change the midi signals of:
12 Pads, Pitch Fader, Jog Wheel, Vinyl mode button.

2) Flipping through the play mode switch will change the midi signals of:
The 6 soft-touch buttons.

So if you always want a filter on/off on the surface, you're going to need to map it for all three modes.

I'd map it to the "sync" button and map sync to one of the soft touch buttons.

All the controls in the mixer section stay the same no matter what mode you're in.

Thats some good logic bro

I promised myself i would just enjoy the controller straight out the box for a few months.

but its tempting to remap.

I have a better grasp of the architecture now cheers for the post

I wish traktor was easier to make maps, rather than the pokey NI window... its insane.. . Theres a mapping app for the mac with wizards and all sorts of shit but not for PC

Isn't it!

We all wish for it... maybe Santa might bring us it for xmas

A/C B/D also changes the 2 encoders next to shift - been reading the manuals... is that too geeky? :eek: Oops.. I've said too much.

Hey, nice of you to share your geeky findings.


And everyone should read the manual. To be entitled to post questions on a forum.

If you use the A/C & B/D switch as a modifier. then you could have 6x3 buttons for EACH channel.

Smart Probably would be cool if you could access all colors/behaviors of the LEDs regardless of the modes, which is currently a no-can-do. I told the Vestax guys they better look into it as long as they want to sell this equipment as a universal controller. The LEDs are currently optimized for their mapping of Traktor Pro 2.

You could use the deck switch ,combining with the front switch (the one for the soft touch layer) as a modifier for leds too.

Could you elaborate on that?

Just to be sure, I meant that it would be cool if we could go from red on to white on to green on to green flickering, all in the same page. When I tested, it seemed like flipping the front switch cut off the route for midi signals to reach the other LEDs.

[dj_eddie_gr]

I think you can have 2 modifiers for receiving or sending a command. So you could map One condition to be the which player is focused (deck switch) and another condition ,which layer are the soft buttons (front swith (SW 84-89) so the leds are corresponding in the appropriate situation...

[dj_eddie_gr]

If only we could have a 3rd modifier condition to use.....
