Vestax Vci 300 with traktor Posted on: 18.01.2009 by Mildred Stgermain how can i put my vestax with traktor? I would appreciate if any one can help me with this. | |
| Andriy Gavrysh 19.12.2009 | I'm afraid I can't help you as I haven't got any tsi's for the VCI on my computer... I hope you'll find the right file somewhere - if not then you could create a new thread asking for the file, I'm sure someone around here still got one! |
| Bernardine Strimple 16.12.2009 | I really appreciate your help. Just one thing the mapping for the vci-300 (the file is called a "tsi-file" .tsi, you can find it somewhere on this community ) it's a broken link i have been trying to find it everywhere but couldn't can you please help me with that? many thanks |
| Andriy Gavrysh 16.12.2009 | ok, you need to take the following steps: (please excuse if some entries aren't named exactly what i call them, i haven't got access to traktor pro right now) 1. download a mapping for the vci-300 (the file is called a "tsi-file" .tsi, you can find it somewhere on this community ): this file defines a mapping for the controller, meaning it tells traktor what to do if you press the buttons on the vci. 2. import the tsi-file: open traktor pro, open the settings, go to "midi-preferences" and click on import. on the following dialog just choose the file you downloaded in step 1. 3. choose the soundcard of the vci-300 as your output: again in the traktor pro preferences select "audio routing". choose the vci-300 as your output. 4. if you're on a windows pc and are having audio problems: install ASIO4All. This will solve any possible audio errors you may have. just google for ASIO4ALL, download and install. I believe you then have to select ASIO4ALL as you're output, but i'm not sure (as i'm on a mac and therefore don't have ASIO4ALL installed). For anything else: browse around the threads on this community s and actually read the threads. a lot of questions have already been answered regarding the vci-300 and traktor pro. |
| Bernardine Strimple 17.12.2009 | ok i downloaded traktor pro and i just connected it to my vestax with an usb cable but it doesn't want to work. The buttons don't work. I have tried changing the settings but still no progress. I read here that i need some kind of mapping? what is that and what do i need to download to get my traktor working with my vci 300? Can you send me the link please? |
| Andriy Gavrysh 16.12.2009 | well, let's start by you telling me what you did / tried and describing what doesn't work... then i can give you some hints. |
| Bernardine Strimple 15.12.2009 | I've been trying to connect my vestax vci 300 with traktor but still couldn't succeed. What do i need to do? My e-mail is [email protected] I would really apreciate your help |
| Andriy Gavrysh 31.01.2009 | just go into your preferences and click on "Import". there should be a file dialog to choose the file on your hard drive, just choose claudek's mapping and then click "Open". In the next dialog be sure to check the box leftside of "Midi Mapping". Then you should be all set! |
| Elva Goldinger 31.01.2009 | I tried to klick load mapping in Traktor scratch pro but it doesnt work as Traktor 3 that a option to load from hard drive show up. Do you know how to get this claude map into my scratch pro? (sorry my lousy english) |
| Andriy Gavrysh 31.01.2009 | not yet (i believe)... do a community
search, that'll reveal new mappings if there are any btw, maybe if you give feedback for the existing mappings then they can be adjusted in the right direction (if your suggestions make sense for the creator of the mapping you're giving feedback)! |
| Elva Goldinger 31.01.2009 | Any new maps out yet? |
| Andriy Gavrysh 21.01.2009 | your welcome if you have any other questions feel free to ask - there are really helpful guys around here! |
| Elva Goldinger 21.01.2009 | Thanks for the info! |
| Andriy Gavrysh 20.01.2009 | well - that's exactly the problem, the controller just sends messages, if you don't tell traktor how to interpret these messages (with a mapping) you can't control anything with your controller! just load one of these midi mappings into traktor: http://www.djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=2627 this is my mapping (it's a bit "off the hook", so i'd suggest you to go with claudek's mapping first): http://www.djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=1937 and this one is from vci-lover: http://www.djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=1696 just read the threads to end and be sure to watch claudek's youtube video on the mapping (it'll show you how to use the controller with his mapping). good luck! |
| Elva Goldinger 20.01.2009 | I cant get this thing with mini translator and Traktor scratch pro... Is it anything in the programfiles I need to change? Anywhere to get a step by step manual? I get reactions in the traktor program (midibutton blinks when I touch my vci) But no more than that. And this mapping.. I cant find any files for vci-300 in traktor scratch pro just for the vci-100... |

| Roberto Viccione 19.01.2009 | I'm pretty sure that you need the translator to make the 14-bit communicate in regular MIDI. I can be wrong on this, but if that's the case, then once Traktor accepts 14-bit you wouldn't need the translator. Once again, can be wrong, this was my understanding. |

| Felix Harrer 19.01.2009 | Even without mini.translator you can use the vci-300 with traktor, only to use the pitchfader and the jogs proper you need it. |
| Andriy Gavrysh 19.01.2009 | you have to get a program called "mini.translator" - it's around here in the community
s and on the blog somewhere (just do a search). you have to start the program and then start traktor. then all you have to do is map the controller yourself or get a mapping (.tks for traktor 3, .tsi for traktor pro) from the community here. good luck and welcome to the "300 club" |
