I have that issue as well. Confuses me and throws my mix way off. I'm running a mac so I don't know what the issue is. It seems like it loses a bit of power because I have connect and reconnect the vci for everything to work.

That is right, I had that problem when upgrading to Tpro despite updating several times and at 2am on the third attempt it accepted the latest version ... wait for it. It then again displayed this message again the next day, eventually however it worked. A long winded way of saying you are right.

Despite the length of time Tpro is out, it is still not stable product, NI really should be addressing the basic problems with it. All the issue that are reported here including a messages such as 'WARNING: Accessor information has unknown version. Therefore it has been ignored.] What the hell does that mean, nothing. I would like to hear a debate on this and why NI can't get it right. They dont even listen to customers on their own community . They have been taking piss out of people who buy there products for a long time now. What other software manufacturers do there errr quite a few believeing about it. Next stop for me Ableton. Rant over and good luck loading the latest version.

][QUOTE=chopper2208;57001]Having major problems getting the tsi file to import correctly

When importing the file the ticked boxes are:

MIDI Mapping
GUI Layout
Effect Settings
All Other Parameters and Settings

I immediately get the following error message flashing at the bottom of the screen

WARNING: Accessor information has unknown version. Therefore it has been ignored.

What does this mean??

I've tried importing the file with the 'MIDI Mapping' tickbox unchecked and the file import fine, although this is useless?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it seems like freeze is broken when Fader Fx mode is engaged. I'm using Traktor 1.1 with 1.3 firmware. Can anyone confirm freeze function still works in the latest TSI version found on the Midimap page?

You can also change settings of the LED in the midi section of traktor ;

1) Select your buton
2)Choose "output" in Interaction Mode
3)Choose "LED" in Type of Controller
4)Finaly go to LED options and then select Invert or not

Hope that helps

To get the lights to register, I simply press the corresponding buttons on my VCI twice.
The first time, the track effect is switched off (and the light on the VCI does nothing) the second time, the track effect is switched back on, and the light finally flicks on.
Once you've sorta jogged them out of sleep, they work for the rest of your session (until you unplug/turn off the VCI)

Hey folks, guess who is having issues....

This guy.

I have a 13inch macbook, traktor pro 1.1.2 (just purchased), and VCI-100SE(pretty stoked)

My computer recognizes that i have the midi device(in utility application)
My VCI power light is on when plugged in, and when i touch anything, the data light comes on (like its supposed to)
In my traktor prefrences the midi setup is all good and I have the 2_2 tsi file imported.

When i go to do anything, nothing happens.

I really needs some help. I have all this gear sitting here and i wouldn't mind getting it working.

Thanks in advance

First a bit of praise, then the issue... I have got it to work just as the new overlay shows. I like this so much better than the original vci layout. I am not a beat juggler, just a tech/house dj but it just makes such a good use of the effects and looping features. I am from the oldschool (vinyl) days and the way I see it, it you are using this gear and just simple "mixing" tracks together, you are doing this software an injustice. You don't have to beat match anymore... You now have time to be creative with the music. This new overlay makes that super easy to do.

Ok, so has anyone else noticed (I did a search and got results) that when you are in 4deck int. mode and you go into track selection view, then click the button to "Load" the track into deck D, it switched the layout into 4deck ext. mixer mode? Cause that is what it is doing to me. True it is easy to correct by simply turning the knob at the top. However, I would love to know how to correct it so I don't have to.

Thanks

the LED mismatch is, I believe, a FW problem. Hopefully this will be corrected in future FW updates. If there are in fact future updates.

I don't believe I had any problems with the vci "out of the box."

My only is issue that when I upgraded the firm ware from 1.2 to 1.3 and, put on the overlay, (keep in mind the unit is still working) the suggested midi map for the new SE overlay doesn't seem to load into traktor pro correctly.

I am sure there is an easy way to fix that problem. And it is most likely with traktor, not the vci. I personally have about 5 different controllers and setups. I would have to say that, performance wise, the vci is the most fun to work with. I know MANY djs who use it and absolutely love it.

In my opinion, it is worth the money. Now you can get them a little cheaper as well, I believe?

so I'm seeing that there are a loooot of problems with the VCI-100 as soon as you pull it out of the box and I'm second guessing on whether I should still get it :S are most of these problems being fixed? or will we just have to live with it all? anyone know if i should still invest my $550 in this

1. I updated my vci to firmware 1.3 (the setup said it was successful and I followed all of the steps exactly as the youtube showed.

2. I installed the new kicka$$ overlay.

3. I downloaded the tsi file for traktor pro. I am currently using version 1.1.2 on a 24 inch iMac.

Here is where the problem starts...

Half of the functions in the overlay do not match the overlay. The snap button will not turn off. The quantize and sample buttons don't work. Shift only works for a few functions. The effects section is all screwed up. And yes, when I imported the tsi file I checked both midi and effects boxes.

It is almost as if the tsi updated some things but left others the way the standard vci map worked?

Any help would be great. Thank you in advance.

i cannot reproduce this issue. could you describe the steps in more detail?
i tried having no banks selected, all banks selected, only one bank selected. i tried with deck c or deck d or both enabled. never did hitting the eq fx buttons have any effect on the selection of the fx banks.

Love the new loop mode though, great work ean.

You can at least increase the cache size, to ensure that once the track is loaded, it remains in the cache in full. According to the Traktor Bible 128MB cache size will keep 4.5 minutes in the cache. The 256MB option will be reintroduced in a future version.

That makes sense because I only started to notice the phenomenon after switching from a much faster iMac that would turn the track yellow almost instantly.

I've waited until the track has been fully loaded, and it seems to work OK so far. I wonder if there is a way to increase the speed at which the track loads...

Thanks for the response, and let me know if you uncover something.

It's not a problem with the tsi file, but I've noticed this behavior too. When it happens for me its just once though- second press brings it to the cue. It seems pretty random, but I believe it may have something to do with the way Traktor is caching the track. Notice the yellow bars that move along the waveform. If you start the track say at cue 2, the track starts caching from that point on. A jump to cue 1 can then either sound a touch crackly (observed), or maybe display the behavior we're talking about (have to test). I've found that as long as the track's been cached fully from start to end, it seems to work ok, but I'll look into it.
Taren Maras

When I hold down the Juggle On button I sometimes (randomly) have to hit the cue buttons at the bottom two or three times before Traktor jumps to the cue.

I tried re-installing Traktor/.tsi, restarting, etc., all with no luck. The data send button lights up for both the Juggle On button and the Cue 1 button (Sync), so it's unlikely to be a VCI-100 data send integrity issue but you never know.

I'm running Traktor Pro 1.1.2 on an MBP with VCI-100 firmware 1.1

Please help--this is really frustrating.

Dude, are you for real? This has got to be the funniest post I've seen in a while! If you are for real, my humble suggestion is to learn some more about controllers, esp. the skills it takes to program them. (are you for real?) Also, maybe learning about what each is capable of in the right hands, including what programs they can each be used with, will give you knowledge that will be helpful on this community .

Dear mr Golden,

I believe its a good thing you guys are doing, especialy bcuzz the limmited functions you can adres wif a DJ controller... However,...... i've allready found a (better) different way to adress the problems that one might have when trying to controle everything right os the controller.

Infact i've got two sollutions....:eek:

1. Dump that plastic like a toy lookin' thing and go to ur local Xone dealer and ask for a Xone:92 and two (2) Xone:2D 's !
as you wil see..... thats all you will ever need

2. for this one ill let you guys just wait because i know how that first one sounds (face it we are DJ's and not millionairs) But the other one is so cheap and also has a few flaws in the system but..... (its the price of only 2 Numark Total Controles.

And the best is that you can also use it with Reason and Ableton.

DJ Speedy-D signin' off, ill keep yall posted

I saw the midi mapping overlay for 2_2 and I noticed that there weren't any cue points, is there a way to use cuepoints on this mapping somehow?
I want to know this before I actually buy my VCI-100 SE in a few weeks time as cue points are quite important to me.
you need to enable juggle mode, either by holding the juggle button (top right corner) or by turning the juggle knob (also top right corner) to enabled. then the 4 buttons are assigned to hotcue 1-4 on the left (deck A or C) and right (deck B or D) side.
