Anything I can do with a regular silver VCI-100?
Anything I can do with a regular silver VCI-100? Posted on: 16.07.2009 by Birdie Vogeli Hi,I am new to this community and to DJ:ing. Just figuring stuff out as we speak. The VCI-100 (non special edition) has quite a different layout compared to the DJ TT VCi-100 SE version. Is there anything I can do to make the VCI-100 look more like VCI-100SE? AFAIK it's not possible to stick overlays to the VCI-100 silver. At least, it looks like it's not because the surface is not completely flat. I'm feeling a tad ripped off that I didn't got the SE model, but then again, it doesn't seem to be available anywhere else than on this site. What is the difference? | |

Only problem is they tend to be out of stock wuite a bit so you need to keep a firm eye on things! Stick around, its nice in here If you need any help with anything just shout |
| Jamila Seigal 29.07.2009 | @ Landmark, so does mine! I've ordered Firmware update, and overlay (should be with me soon) but its frustrating, if i hit the 4th effect button, a couple of others light up. Also I can't seem to switch effect 1 or 2 on via the vci have to use mouse which is really annoying. Did you fix your issue? As far as turning the silver vci into an SE it does just require a firmware upgrade & overlay, I'm upgrading my black vci to the same hoping it will work a bit better. |
| Doug Bieling 17.07.2009 | yup that what i thought , maybe ive read your last post wrong but it sounded like you were saying that the SE had a few functionalitys that you cant get on the normal vci with a firmware upgrade.... just didnt want this guy getting confused over things. G |
| Roberto Viccione 16.07.2009 | The SE is FW1.3, as far as I know |
| Lilliana Perris 16.07.2009 | Upgrading the FW and getting the Overlay will turn your VCI in the SE version. Thats it! If you using Traktor, check out Ean's TSI file too. Then you are trully waxed! |

| Roberto Viccione 16.07.2009 | Other changes The Sync button over Deck A is a toggle, not a hold (sends On note when pressed down and nothing when released, then Off note when pressed again) The Bass knobs on each side send very different messages and there are a ton of other MIDI messages I can't figure out. Regardless, you don't need conductive paint, just sand down the jog wheels really well and spray and coat or two and you'll be fine. |
| Lilliana Perris 16.07.2009 | HEHEHEHE We were all there in the beginning! But trust the rest around here. The products here are QUALITY! Super Stocked myself.....STILL! HEHEHEHEH |
| Birdie Vogeli 16.07.2009 | And thanks for the links to the overlays! It showed exactly what you told me, specifically that the ridges are just plates. He removes them in the video. I am finally about to understand things. |
| Birdie Vogeli 16.07.2009 | Have any of you tried this yourself? Whenever I google this matter, all I see is stuff about the VCI-100SE. I believe the firmware upgrade is what I need the most, though. The button bug is horrible. |

| Doug Bieling 16.07.2009 | Oh and yes your 4th button problem is a bug in FW 1.2, upgrading to 1.3 will fix this plus give you a few extra tweaks |
| Many Atia 16.07.2009 | Yep. The dj tt vci is like a regular vci-100, only with: firmware upgrade - v1.3 (removes 4th fx button issue and iirc adds extra information to some knobs so you can do smart knobbing and all that jazz) black knobs and faders and the overlay |

| Birdie Vogeli 16.07.2009 | Nice, so if I understand correctly, the only thing that differs would be the black knobs and coloring and a newer firmware? (Mine has an issue with the 4th effect button sending the same command as another button.) |

| Doug Bieling 16.07.2009 | ha ha believe thats just down to the overlay over the top of it all and anyway , you feel ripped off due to the fact its flat and yours isnt? .. hmmm If anything i would be glad you have one at all and have managed to get one without having to fork out loads more money for a black one with different coloured lights and knobs. |
| Birdie Vogeli 16.07.2009 | It looks to me as if I were right, though. This Special Edition looks completely flat. |
| Doug Bieling 16.07.2009 | nah its all the same, just different colour and better knobs. I have the silver version and i can do everything that all others can do just not in as much style |

| Doug Bieling 16.07.2009 | different layout ??? really ??? whats different about the layout ??? pretty sure its exactly the same layout. You could buy a djranking s ovelay and stick that on , that will get you a step closer as it will be black |
