Reply to Traktor Pro with VCI-100 (MISA 4 Deck, 32 HotCue, Master Tempo, Key Locks, Preview)

DJ TechTools Community

This is my first post but I've gained valuable insight into controllerism from everyone contributing to the community over the last few months.

This TSI closely resembles the official 2.2 DJ TechTools MIDI mapping with access to 4 decks and the Loop/FX1/FX2 section. The Juggle mode is altered and gives access to 2 banks of 4 buttons for each deck. Additionally, it provides access to what I feel are useful tools in Traktor like Key Locks, Master Tempo, designation of Master deck, and the Preview Player. There are also some minor changes to the locations of buttons and sensitivity settings. Overall, it provides me with a more straighforward correlation between the software and the controller.

I also use Ableton and have recently purchased an Akai APC 40. I am hoping to create a TSI mapping for using the VCI-100 and APC 40 together in Traktor in the next couple of weeks. If anyone has some feature requests or good ideas on how the two controllers can complement each other, please let me know. With the upcoming update to Traktor claiming to provide 4 FX banks, the extra knobs will certainly come in handy. I'll then look to transfer over some of the functionality this setup provides to a more portable one using the VCI-100 and the Korg NanoKontrol.

Lastly, thanks to Ean for setting up this community and for everyone involved in keeping it going. I feel it is the most vibrant and positive community for digital music creation and DJing on the internet. I hope I can be a vital part of advancing it.
