Opinions wanted about Vestax VCI 100 SE
Opinions wanted about Vestax VCI 100 SE Posted on: 20.07.2011 by Ardis Babauta Hi guys,I'm looking to buy a controller, I have TSP2, an A4DJ and a pair of Numark Pro TT-2's. I had in mind using my TT's and timecodes with a VMS4 but I might leave that til a later date when the cash flow is a little more fluid (and possibly end up getting an S4 or the Denon DNMC6000!!!!!) Until that time I'd still like to use a decent controller, one that won't have a bunch of glitches, mapping problems, component problems (I've heard and read about a bunch of problems with the VMS4 and it's kinda put me off the idea!). Not too worried about controlling 4 decks just now so I'd like to know if the VCI 100 is a good choice? I may have an opportunity to get an DJTT SE version fairly cheap. Any suggestions? Bless | |

| Ardell Semrad 20.07.2011 | Go for the VCI 100, it's the business, I've just bought one with the 1.3 firmware and it really is a great machine. You wont be disappointed. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 20.07.2011 | My pleasure! |
| Ardis Babauta 20.07.2011 | Thanks Fullenglishpint, much appreciated! |
| Tatum Ansaldo 20.07.2011 | It's a very good controller. I'm sure you won't be disappointed if you do get it! |
| Ardis Babauta 20.07.2011 | The unit I'm looking at has got the 1.4 firmware installed already. |

To be quite honest, and I know this has been my answer to a lot of questions recently, I'd seriously consider the Novation Twitch. It's the first thing that's tempted me away from my VCI and it's a whole lot less effort to get that than to go hunting around for a firmware chip and buying an overlay. It's a 2 channel, high quality controller of comparible size, all it's missing is jogwheels (and a DJTT mapping, but that may be available in the future if enough of us ask for it). Also you get ITCH free which is a very good deal. |
| Ardis Babauta 20.07.2011 | The one I've seen is the MK1. I saw on here that they'll be do a mapping for TP2 and a new overlay for the VCI 100, sounds good. |
| Tatum Ansaldo 20.07.2011 | I love my VCI-100SE, are you looking at the mk1 or mk2 model? |
| Leeanna Ayla 20.07.2011 | The 100 SE is a fantastic controller that's built like a tank. |
| Allene Manitta 20.07.2011 | love it, nothing more to say |
