DJTT VCI-400 Ean Golden Edition Mapping (Traktor Pro 2) Posted on: 09.03.2012 by Jodi Lacerra This is to be used as the official thread for the DJ Techtools VCI-400SE Ean Golden Edition mapping for Traktor Pro 2. TO use this mapping, please make sure to be running at least TPro2 version 2.1 or greater to avoid any unexpected issues. The mapping was tested and created on TPro2 v2.1.2.PLEASE NOTE: The VCI-400SE (Ean Golden Edition) has DJ Techtools custom firmware on the controller so this mapping WILL NOT function correctly as expected with regular VCI-400 units. After downloading the mapping, you will need to Import the mapping into Traktor using the large "Import" button on the bottom left of the Preferences section (note that using this large Import button will overwrite all other loaded mappings, so please export your current settings first if you want to back them up). If it is the first time importing this mapping, you will want to go through the Import process twice due to an infamous Traktor bug where the Effect settings do not load properly on the first Import. You can verify if the effect settings loaded correctly by trying the "Gratify" effects or any of the "JogFX" and ensuring that the proper effects load (this can be checked with the Summary pdf as the expected effects are listed in there). After importing the mapping, you will want to go into the Controller Manager of Traktor's Preferences, select the DJTT VCI-400SE mapping in the "Device" listbox and make sure your In-Port and Out-Port are set correctly. "All Ports" is ok to keep if this is the only controller you have plugged into your computer. Otherwise, you may want to set the In-Port and Out-Port specifically to the VCI-400 to avoid any potentially Midi confusion between mappings. Note: The mapping and pdf summary should have been sent in your Shipping confirmation email; however, in the case you did not receive it, I have reposted the tsi and pdf summary to this thread. Should you find any bugs or have any questions regarding the mapping, please use this community thread to post your comments. Thanks! DJTT VCI-400_TSI_v1.1.1.tsi DJTT VCI400SE Mapping Summary.pdf NOTE: There will be a tutorial video for this mapping early next week. We have to refilm now because our media got corrupted. We will also likely shoot a setup video too. For now, after loading the mapping you want to move most knobs and faders to reset them correctly. You will also want to press Shift+Tempo Fader middle position (where the red light turns on) for each Tempo fader upon starting up Traktor. This will properly set the tempo range to +-8% (instead of 0% to 16%). This occurs because the default Tempo command is a relative command with a total range of 16%. Shift+ the Tempo fader is a direct Tempo fader command with a range of +-50%. This range can be changed in the Transport section of Preferences. UPDATE: See below for the VCI-400SE Mapping Tutorial Video I did recently. Hope it helps! | |

When I select the device DJTT-VCI 400 SE**** and close the dialog box, when I go back the Pro 2 default mapping always is selected. I've tried exiting out of the program and importing it several times already. Is anyone else having this issue or have any suggestions? Using Traktor 2.01 |
Charmain Liesegang 15.03.2012 | Left / DEck A jog wheel Fx went out again. AM I doing something to cause this? |
Jayne Watland 15.03.2012 | The scratch function does not work no matter how lose you make jog wheels when on vinyl mode. It only stops the track. Another suggestion is to add delete function to sample decks. Everything else seems to be fine |
Charmain Liesegang 15.03.2012 | NOt sure what I did, but I got things working. I believe just reloading things made things happen. Sorry for these really pointless updates. |

Jogwheel will speed pitch up and down, but cannot use to cue/scratch etc. LEFt jog seems to be controlling the pitch. Setting is on CUE1-4 soe jogfx should not be active. Seems like I am constantly having to shutdown and reload to make things work right. But I know it's just a bump in the road. FX on deck 1 using JoGFX do not seem to be engaging. AND the pitch control issue. I have tried to reset using the shift method. It just isn't working correctly. |
Charmain Liesegang 15.03.2012 | Internal. output mon to mon L and R outpuit main to Main L and R I have mine set on mono. I had to restart and tinker to get things going. |
Charmain Liesegang 15.03.2012 | Damn it!! worked ok last evening . NOW, I have not jog wheel use. cannot cue, use jog FX nothing. Pitch control sliders are still not working right. It just seems to be one issue after another. PLEASE HELP. |
Bonny Rygalski 15.03.2012 | Does anyone have any suggestions how to perform quick on the fly beat freezes with the DJTT mapping. I really don't want to go in and change things and mess it up. |
Leeanna Ayla 15.03.2012 | Shot in the dark here since i can't test it out, but is it a timing thing maybe? Is quantize one? |
Selma Broxmeyer 15.03.2012 | Hi! I just got my VCI400 EGE in yesterday and I noticed something awkward about the slicer mode. It seems that the cue point that you start with (the one that is the temporary cue) after engaging slicer mode will bleed into the beginning of each subsequent cue hit 2-8 a minimal amount. It's enough so that I can't hear a proper KICK/SNARE in the sample chopping. Do I need to adjust my settings a bit, or was this just a throw together feature that doesn't really work? |
Leeanna Ayla 15.03.2012 | can someone post screen grabs of the audio output routing that works correctly? Not having one I'm not sure exactly what they should be set to. |

Taina Draffin 15.03.2012 | This is what I have photojojo my mixing mode is set to internal. Output Monitor is not connected for both L and R, because when I have them connected to L and R output, monitor deck sounds comes through the main output even though the mixer fader is at all the way down (in active). Output Master is set as Output L and Output R Output Record: not connected Thanks for your help. |

I believe that's the default order, but Chris will have to confirm that. I have screen shots in my profile of the FX in early versions of traktor 2. The new FX that were added soon after just go on the bottom if they're not used in the mapping it doesn't matter what order they go in. |

Just go into the controller manager, select the mapping, expand the Comment column so you can fully read it, and then sort by comments. You'll find scratch controls under "Jog Scratch" and bend controls under "Tempo Bend". The reason that I made the Tempo Faders a relative command normally and only Direct when holding Shift is that if say you are Syncing one track to another whose BPM is more than 8% away from the track's original tempo then you couldn't adjust the tempo without it immediately jumping to somewhere within the +8%/-8% range. The Shift command allows you a larger Direct range and is also very helpful for resetting the track to the original Tempo, especially because of the red LED feedback. |

It is probably a really easy simple fix. Does this mean upon launching Traktor Pro 2, I will need to hold down the "Shift" key plus the "Tempo Fader middle position" What does this mean and how do you do that? Do I just simply hold down the shift key and make sure the tempo fader is set in the middle position? Thank you. |
Carry Gaida 14.03.2012 | I would also very much like a firmware, so this mappings works with regular vci-400 |
