VCI-300 Mapping (Flashflooder SE) for Traktor Pro
VCI-300 Mapping (Flashflooder SE) for Traktor Pro Posted on: 17.09.2010 by Jodi Lacerra Hey guys (and gals),After a fair amount of thought and mapping hours I developed a VCI-300 mapping for Traktor Pro from scratch. FYI, I did this on my own and have not yet consulted Ean or the rest of the DJTT team on the design. I meant to look at a lot of the other VCI-300 mappings others have made in the community and take bits and pieces of what I liked but honestly I never got around to it so I just made a design that made the most sense to me given the button and layout constraints. In the attached zip file you will find the tsi and a picture showing the button function layout. There are also some hidden functions not shown on the layout. For example, the center push button acts as a secondary shift (Shift2) but is only used for FX Presets (Shift2 + "Cue 1/2/3" buttons) and to select chained effects in FX Control Mode (Shift2 + EQ knobs). In some cases the LED states don't load properly when importing the tsi. An easy way to check/fix this is to toggle the Juggle Mode and Scratch buttons for each deck. I could go on explaining everything but I believe most of you can figure the rest out. If you have questions, find bugs (I know there are at least a few), or have general comments, please post them below! If there are enough people who like this mapping I may do some updates to it in the future and DJTT may potentially produce some overlays for it. | |

Playing around with it and spending much time and effort trying to find a good working tsi files for Traktor, I realized It is very difficult... Im a little frustrated by now, and I'm considering to return the controller in spite of the fact that I really love this piece of gear . Before I return it, Im hoping to find an updated and a working tsi file for Traktor, also, can anybody tell me if this controller works well with Traktor, should i keep it? Thank you !!!!! |
| Bryanna Kretschmar 03.11.2012 | Hi guys, I wanted to make this post long time ago...my apologies for the delay. After reading many posts and using a combination of mapping settings from various users of this community (I thank them all!) I came up with the attached VCI-300 TSI mapping. It does not include any effects but it enables you to successfully use an external sound-card and traktor with the controller. The experience is almost the same as if you were using Serato ITCH but now you can have a far better sound since you can use an external sound-card as well as more mixing possibilities with the Traktor software. I hope it helps! Cheers, nIkNaK soundcloud.com/groove-service |
| Ming Chotiner 22.12.2011 | will this work with the VCI 300MK II ???? |
| Arielle Malphrus 15.08.2011 | So I uploaded the tsi with the cueing function, but I have no sound coming out of my headphones, is there something that im doing wrong? Please and thankyou. |
| Toni Beechner 08.08.2011 | Also check this thread for VCI-300 TSI mapping: http://www.djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=30748 |
| Hellen Holdgate 03.08.2011 | Hello, (sorry for my bad english) Thank's for this amazing setup ! I'm trying to figure out all the commands you mapped, but i have one question regarding the "Scratch" button ! When "Scratch" is on (green light on VCI300-MK2) : i'm not abble to speed up or down the tempo by touching the edge of the Jogg (am i right ?) When "Scratch" is off : i'm not abble to use the Fader and the Pitch Any solution to do all this functions together ? Thank You Tom |
| Sharonda Papoi 22.05.2011 | Hi guys! I'm new of all of it and just looking for an advice! I would like to buy a Vestax VCI 300 tomorrow or on tuesday. Is it possible to use it with TRAKTOR ? I mean is it good with traktor or definatelly not ? Looking forward to ur advices. PS: Is it possible also to use VESTAX 300 as a Audio for Timecode ? I mean to connect 2 vynils to it and use it as 4 deks ? (instead to buy audio 8 ?) thank u |
| Blondell Defrank 26.03.2011 | Having trouble getting sounds coming out from my haedphones , is it a seeting function or is the headphones don't work? Can some one email and show me how to get the headphones working on my VCI 300 with TSP? [email protected] |
| Sade Tutko 13.03.2011 | Hi. Thanks for this. Almost there but not quite. Sliders aren't working. Also, Deck A is only going to the left audio out and Deck B is only going to the right audio out. Otherwise everything seems to be according to the PDF included with the preset. Working on it. I'm getting pretty far along I guess since I just started learning Traktor a little over a week ago... Going to look at the s4 and I saw mention of a new version of Itch. Thanks again, djbrandoncurtis |
| Karolis Petrauskas 13.03.2011 | Try it without the mini translator. When I had my vci300 I ran traktor fine without it. The jogs are not going to be as good as itch but all the MIDI stuff works great. Most of us 300 users have jumped ship to the glorious s4. Just load the .tsi file and make sure you vci is setup in the preferences correctly. MIDI in = vci 300 / MIDI out = vci 300. Try that, if it doesn't work let us know. Someone in here will have your answer. |
| Sade Tutko 12.03.2011 | Hi. New here. Downloaded mini.Translator and the 300cue.tsi. Dragging the preset onto the app is not working (just not responsive). MacBook Pro. Vestax powered on. Thanks for the help! |
| Evette Klingel 17.01.2011 | All im wondering is so far i finally figured out using the .tsi file and played with a few of them after reading all these community
s anyone have the details on which the newest and improved .tsi file. i know all you guys wuih feedback and especially the ones you bulit it took some time and i realize more in the making but, would like to grab the newest and improved beta .tsi file with headphone cue so that i can hear other tracks before they come in... and if any one has this and has a insane LED combination followed with the .tsi file please share... |

I can get the tsp to recognize the vci but the audio is crusty and not coming out properly. I don't know if it has something to do with the audio routing or nor something else. I hope someone can help me out. Thanks! |
| Julissa Serrone 14.11.2010 | ^ LOL... Man, I truly dig the 300 --- but with Traktor it’s not the best choice. After I tried this mapping a few times I went back to Itch. I have a huge crush on Itch and dig the waveforms, platter control, etc. I’m hoping the next release of Itch the 2.0 version will have some sweet updated features. I believe completion is great and the S4 raised the bar for everyone. It’s Serato’s move – so having a 300 could turn out to be exciting after Winter Namm. The 300 is a solid piece of gear man, I personally believe it works best with Itch, but for anyone trying to make it work with Traktor – I understand. SO yeah, anything I can do to help. |

| Danyelle Breid 13.11.2010 | hey guys...whenever i try to download the zip file on page 1 of this thread....all i get is a file called download.php am i doing something wrong? |
| Dann Eltiste 07.11.2010 | hey guys i got everything fixed.. only thing is that wen i switch to the c and d cecks the pitch fader still works on the a and b decks. is there nyway i cn fix this on my own? |
| Dann Eltiste 04.11.2010 | Ight guys i need major help. this is my first time using a mapping and im failing epically. Ive downloaded flashfloaders map for my mkII 5 times and have attempted to import it but it jus won't work and I have no clue as to why. can someone help me a bit? Info: - I using a macbook pro - I'm running traktor pro - I HATE ITCH FOR TRYING TO MAKE ME BUY A VFX1 JUST FOR EFFECTS thank you so much |
| Gino Varn 12.10.2010 | Nice, I will test this mapp soon, I am searching a long time for it without luck. so this is the latest best map around?:=) |
| Julissa Serrone 12.10.2010 | ^ yes it works great. Just don't expect the jogs to work as good as they do in Itch. Aside from that everything else works great. I posted an update to it with the headphone cue buttons. |
| Gino Varn 12.10.2010 | Is this mapping working successful? I will use my vestax vci-300 with traktor pro. |
| Anamaria Ghilarducci 04.10.2010 | So now the heat is on with the VCI-100 MKII coming out, I see the market for this product, and gosh if it had come out at the same time as the VCI-300MKII I might have even bought one. But really the 300 is for Itch/Serato kids and the 100 for Traktor kids so there is and always was different markets for both these products. I'm happy with the 300 with Itch because the response time and sensitivity is so on point, ok so it's not real vinyl and it's not the NS7 but it's almost as good, it's just that I like Traktor more as an actual system. Especially, since with Traktor I'm not locked down with effects controllers. I hope that we can still work on the tsi here and keep improving it, but mostly I'm hoping there is some crossover in hardware which will mean that a VCI-300 tsi can be based in part on the VCI-100 MKII tsi for Traktor? Especially the jog wheels and other problematic areas.... |
| Anamaria Ghilarducci 01.10.2010 | Thanks haze324, Will check this out, with the new firmware for the VCI-100 makes you kinda wish they could reverse engineer the VCI-300 firmware and make it 100% compatible with Traktor. Awesome work guys!

| Julissa Serrone 26.09.2010 | FADER FX on third Effect! Guys someone posted this earlier today: http://www.djranking s.com/community /sho...d=1#post162518 I tried fixing it around a bit to work on the 300. Give this a try on your FX 1 (left) volume fader and let me know how it works. Only the volume fader is mapped. I'm believeing this would be a fairly easy fix to add to the master tsi on this page. Things are lookin up. Now just gotta find a way to get the jogs to work a little tighter. |
| Julissa Serrone 25.09.2010 | Hatch, Yeah man there is a slight delay in the jogs when scratching. I haven't looked at how this was mapped, but the best map I have used for scratching was from this thread: http://www.djranking s.com/community /sho...t=13420&page=2 This may be how they were done or not, I'm not looking at Flash's map. I'll take a look at it toevening and if I can make some adjustments that improve the lag, I'll post up a .tsi. Remeber though, it will NOT be what Itch feels like. That is another lever, it will feel as good as the VCI-100 feels...which isn't great, but something you can work with. I have no x-fader bleed. EDIT: The TSI on this page has a Scratch setting of 27%. Try 23% feels tighter, but still has a tad bit of a lag at the end. When your gonna let the beat play you gotta let go of the wheel as it would be going fwd. vs the last position in the end. Kinda like a weak turntable that needs a head start. Play with the numbers. I tried 25% and it felt good. Tried 23 and it felt better. Maybe 24 or 22 works best for you. |
| Anamaria Ghilarducci 24.09.2010 | Has anyone else who scratches noticed: 1) Ramp up issue when letting go of jog wheel or, 2) Cross Fader bleed? Tested and compared to ITCH and these issues can not be duplicated. Thanks guys for some amazing work! |
| Julissa Serrone 24.09.2010 | Flash, your the man....understand your a busy guy and the 300 is additional project for you. Thanks for your help. Been messing around with the mapping and added some "super" buttons that load three chained effects, turn them on, and set a parameter, then on Fader FX i'm using the jog to bring up the dry wet. It does limit the full use of the effects, but I'm finding it easy and quick to load some of my favorite effects and not have to worry about messing with the EQ's and worry about them messing up the sound. Sometimes less is more. Sucks about the firmware -- but your mapping has made the 300 a very usable controller with TP. Thanks again man. |

It can definitely be done though. See the comment I posted in the message before this on better ways to utilize the FX controls, but if even after that you and others agree that it would be more useful to have the buttons in fx control mode, I could do it. Please continue to post things you like and dislike about the mapping so I can compile all the ideas in a future update. Thanks! |
| Jodi Lacerra 23.09.2010 | Sorry for the delayed responses. It's been a busy week.

| Maureen Keib 21.09.2010 | Firstful I want to say huge thanks to you FF. I like how you used every button in your configuration (except I don't need to copy tracks, so I put there back headphone queing)! I will looking for every update of it! |
| Anamaria Ghilarducci 20.09.2010 | Thank you for this, have had a little play and everything works very well. To be honest I'm more of a simple hip hop DJ and so full on VCI-100 effects are over my head - but of course I can customise the buttons for myself. Volume display on the VCI-300 seems to work perfectly. The jog wheels seem to have a ramp-up issue similar to that on the early firmware versions of the 100, if you're scratching and just let go the sound takes a split second for the sound to catch up, I've found I need to push the jogwheel so the sample starts playing on time and instantly after releasing. For some reason my cross fader has some bleed even when set at the sharpest setting on the CF knob as well as internally set as sharp/cut in Traktor setting. Hopefully the LED problem will be remedied by future Traktor update. Many thanks. |
| Julissa Serrone 19.09.2010 | BB, Yeah brother after playing for a little while on this I couldn’t find a headphone cue button? Here’s what I’m believeing….assign the two pitch bend buttons to shift+pitch bend to assign effects 1 and 2 to the decks. Then the button two buttons to control effects can be shift + button (turns eq’s into effects knobs) leaving those buttons free to map headphone cue. I know it’s a lot of shifting going on to use the effects, but honestly having to use the EQ’s to control the effects just didn’t feel natural. I am however digging instant fx from just pressing a button. Question to those using this. What effects do you guys like to use that do not require any knobs and can be done with just a button. The beatmasher was a good one to hit just prior to a big drop. The filter also worked well as way to kill the lows. Gater is ok. Wondering if anyone has a combo or “superbutton” type effects we could map to instant effects. I’ll try to do the headphone cue mapping toevening and post it. FF, again thanks for you work with this man!!! |
| Karolis Petrauskas 18.09.2010 | I haven't tested yet but....is there a headphone cue? I don't see it on your map. Looks great BTW! |
