Vci-100 mkii Posted on: 25.09.2010 by Jorge Conro I've just talked with a guy who work @ Vestax and he confirmed me that the new VCI MKII will be out on 2th october 2010...and that it will be very very impressive... The biggest news are that there will be an integrated sound card with it. I believe we can see the VCI100 MKII on the BPM @ Birmingham (And sorry for this bad english)
Cammy Clegg 26.10.2010	Originally Posted by tommyz with a $699 price tag, and the vci-300mk2 costing only $100 more, what would be the benefits of going for the 100 mk2 (ok other than saving a 100 bucks I have a gut feeling that theres more to it and they just threw this out there to throw people off so when the real one is revealed people will be like "WOW hella good deal" St8upDrew I feel ya bro Like i would love having a foot pedal to add a Wavy Dub step bass to my mix or to like add a back spin or break effect.
Annalisa Shogren 04.10.2010	Originally Posted by Citizen_Insane Thanks tips, 4 decks does cost more, remove the sound card and put in more decks. 700$ doesn't seem to me like an entry level price and Vestax already has 2 entry level controllers: Spin and Typhoon. And yeah, I prefer the metal over plastic - even if it is strong - just my preference. Was just saying that it might not be a bad idea to make Str8upDrew's suggestion.. even as a custom modded controller. Mid-entry then. I agree, metal would be nicer. But for convenience, the built in sound card is more ideal. I'm sure people will be surprised at the build quality, obviously not comparable to that of the MK1, but at least give it a chance.

This is supposed to be an entry level controller, it has many great features and you're all moaning about it just because it's not metal. In reality it's probably made of very strong plastic.

Annalisa Shogren 04.10.2010	Originally Posted by Citizen_Insane Sounds like a GREAT idea. Frankly they need to lose the soundcard too. And I believe arcade buttons ought to be optional... love me my midi fighter but I'm not sure I want arcade buttons on my vci :/ Also: why didn't they make this thing truly 4 deck?? 4 decks would mean more cost, isn't that obvious?!

Marguerite Salsedo 03.10.2010	Originally Posted by Str8upDrew I really like the layout. Maybe we can take one; strip the plastic chassis, build a metal enclosure, and slap some arcade buttons on it. And why not throw the djtt knob pack on it, with a few extras for the new knobs; and add a FOOTSWITCH input (why don't more controllers have this). Sounds like a GREAT idea.

Leeanna Ayla 04.10.2010	I wouldn't consider the vCI-100 an entry level controller at all.

Hipolito Scionti 02.10.2010	At first I hate... the I believe hmmm.... actually having that layout which is almost perfectly designed for Tpro is nice. I heart my VCI-100 mki Arcade Button badboy though... this doesn't make me feel the need to upgrade. I'll have to have a go on one to know... are they saying the jogs are high res? ie high res midi or HID, that's kind of big... Don't get me wrong, I believe other controllers are infront of this now and this isn't the vestax traktor game changer it could have been. Just needed a more rugged build
Leeanna Ayla 01.10.2010	I'm not hating on the plastic at all. That stuff can be strong, but I predict lots of problems with the tension adjustment on those jogs.
Latoria Kavulich 01.10.2010	Sure doesn't look that impressive at the moment. They can lose that stupid joystick for a start. And so expensive... do they not realise that NI & Denon both have mint controllers coming out next month? I'd stick with the original VCI if i used one personally.
Gilma Marchini 01.10.2010	Its plastic... why?
Marshall Aby 01.10.2010	Like the layout. Hate the plastic. Sticking with the MK-1 and audio2. Next!
Corliss Michalke 01.10.2010	It looks a bit crap to be honest, the whole appeal of the vci100 for me was the sturdy all metal design! Plastic means cheap in my eyes!
Jorge Conro 01.10.2010	This evening my monkey carries the pretty hat and we laugh very very much together in front of your messages. Thank you still
Leeanna Ayla 01.10.2010	Originally Posted by JesC so is it a fake? Doesn't look like it and Ean didn't say anything about a hat so I'm definitely not getting one.
Cristian Carmona 01.10.2010	so is it a fake?
Leeanna Ayla 01.10.2010	Todays blog post doesn't do it any favors. http://www.djranking s.com/2010/10/0...00-mk2-vci100/
Leeanna Ayla 28.09.2010	I believe the hat's available in Japan only so you'll probably have to find someone to import it for you. I don't know why they went with a hat anyway, I would much rather have a monkey. I guess it all comes down to cost, cheap bastards.
Adrien Hochstrasser 27.09.2010	Originally Posted by djproben I heard from a Vestax employee that they are coming out with a VCI-500 in November. Four jog wheels, arcade buttons, and a magnetic crossfader. And an "oldies" button that activates a time machine that will send you back to the disco era. Oh, yeah, and it comes with a hat. Do you know if you have to pre-order the hat? Can you confirm that wearing this hat activates a exclusive taunt? How will it look on my pyro?
Jolyn Brunello 27.09.2010	dont know how arcade buttons are gonna fit either with the curved design.do like it though.
Liberty Brodbeck 27.09.2010	I would believe it would have it's own firmware.
Julissa Serrone 27.09.2010	if thats it....even with that date on there. I believe it looks cool as hell. The jogs look better and they've adopted a few things from the TR-1 and VCI300. Having an integrated sound card I believe is great. Hope it's true, and also that 1.4 will work on it!
Leeanna Ayla 27.09.2010	Plus the date on that is Jan 2010, I believe that screams fake.
Leeanna Ayla 27.09.2010	Given the lackluster VCI-300 Mark II specs and the lackluster "new" features listed here that almost seems plausible. I hope not though, cause there's not much there to convince people to upgrade from current VCI's.
Laine Luchtman 27.09.2010	This looking any official? http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=...1TigQYa87VK9gQ someone on aboutdj.nl posted that link, could be real, but a lot of spelling errors nonetheless edit: wow and the image is dated january 2010, pretty old
nayit ruiz jaramillo 27.09.2010	Originally Posted by djproben Oh, yeah, and it comes with a hat. Im in for the hat... This may well be true and explain why Vestax has not been willing to update the Firmware on the VCI100 (DJTT FTW). Anyway, ive taken the rumour on board, i wont listen to anything else about it until i see a Vestax announcement cus i am throughly bored of reading "a guy told me" about DJ products.

I believe we can see the VCI100 MKII on the BPM @ Birmingham (And sorry for this bad english) If it was at BPM Vestax would have been bragging about it by now OR that Vestax guy has just been sacked... People dont break their NDA like that unless they have been told to start a trickle feed and they dont start trickle feeds by telling a guy on the phone. Remember the Richie Hawtin video where someone "accidently filmed an X1"..? Thats a Trickle feed. Anyway we will see on saturday...
Julissa Serrone 27.09.2010	does anyone have a link to where I can preorder one of these. Any of the above mentioned will do, so long as it has integrated soundcard ---- and comes with a hat!
Noelia Koga 27.09.2010	I talked to Mr. Vestax himself, he told me about a robot they are coming out with this Christmas that will DJ for you. All you have to do is fork over cash and look cool next to it at clubs and parties.

Corliss Michalke 26.09.2010	They have just released a VCI-300 mkII So i'd kinda believe this, if it DOESN'T have a 4 channel mixer, NI is getting my money when the s4 drops!
