VCI-100 Modding
VCI-100 Modding Posted on: 14.04.2008 by Sebastian Hanisch Hey all.I just got my hands on a vestax vci-100 and am wanting to find out a bit more about the unit from those who have taken it for a test drive. I believe vestax have done an awesome job in putting this toy together, and the casing and controls all feel like they are high quality and will take a bit of punishment. I dont know if it is a design fault or there are some settings i need to tinker with, but when i am cueing up a track on the jog wheels and scratching on the one beat, the track seems to slowly jog forward each scratch and i have to keep re-adjusting my hand position on the wheel to find my cue point. Is this something that cannot be changed, or are there settings i can adust to fix this problem?? maybe the wheels jog slower backwards than they do forward?? Is there any way to be able to scratch on the one spot without the track cueing forward? I am in the process of making up vinyl stick on face plates, with new controller assignments for traktor 3 that I am making up photoshop. Are there any tutorials on how to remap the midi controls to do cool things like ean's filter cut on the low freq knob?? Do any of you guys have pics of your vci-100's with re-assigned controls and face plates?? And tks files? thanks GaDgeT | |

| Sebastian Hanisch 15.04.2008 | thx for your reply ean.. have seen a few of your vids, really like what you are doing with the 'controllerism' scene Do you have the same problem scratching with the jog wheels? ie can you scratch back and forth on a beat without the track jogging forward? I have checked out most of the site, which has answered most of my questions, but really wanna change the midi settings on my low freq knob to replicate what you have done with the filter. Any advice as to how to remap the midi to low/high filter? thx GaDgeT |
| 14.04.2008 | Welcome to Dj TT's Gadget, with a bit of looking around you will find all the answers to your questions on some part of this site already. first, look at the Traktor TKS post on the blog for TKS files. Then click on the VCi-100 category and you will find lots of info about custom plates, painting and other ways to modify your gear. Finally to learn how to map controls yourself you need to look under the DIY tutorial or advanced dj tips section. There we have lots of articles on creative mapping. |
