Reply to vci 100 SE ramp question / wheel question / firmware update?

hi all

i just purchased a used black vci 100 (se dj tech tools overlay) yesterday and started playing with it. from all the great info available on this site, i found out I have firmare version 1.2 installed and I am using traktor pro on mac.

i was reading the ramp issue which was described by ean as "the jog wheel touch sensor turns off when the wheel stops turning, not when you release your finger. " nonetheless on the video link he provides, i have the feeling this is not happening am I right?

what i see on the video and feel on mine is the touch sensor stays on even if I stop turning the wheel, but as soon as I release the sound is going from a slow motion to normal speed in like half a second. I was just wondering if this is normal for firmware 1.2 and if it can be changed so that as soon as you release the wheel there is no lag and track gets back at full speed right away.

would a firmware update help me?

i am using the TSI file version 1.4, and noticed right now that I can't seem to use any effect. all midi signals are sent, knobs move on the screen but nothing happens. should I use 1.6 right away?

finally, i was wondering if i can change the sensitivity of the jog wheel not in terms of pressure, but rather in terms of how far I am going away from a cue point when the wheel performs 1 complete revolution?

I am as new with traktor as Im new with the vci so my questions might be stupid and in this case I already apologize!!!

thanks in advance

cheers!
