Posted on: 30.12.2010 by Shu Dietiker
hi guys...

I have been using the vci 100 foe years now.... do you believe the s4 replaces it in a good way? the vci is just so stable.....

and how do u carry it?

So after you said it, I googled it once more, and couldn't find it anywhere. Then I googled "Maschine UDG Bag - California" and the first things that popped up were my community posts about it lol!

And then after that this is what I found:
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Native-I...40-i1551909.gc

So they have a bag for Traktor, but not one damn one for the Maschine. I mean it could be a mistake and I could fit the Maschine in there, but the one off NI's website looks way cleaner.

I also have a feeling if I find it at some other retailer, it'll be atleast $10 cheaper then off NI.

Anyway lemme know what you guys believe as well, and sorry for hi-jacking your thread kind sir.

That's nuts. I am going to try it out sometime soon, as I get more familiar with my tools. I wanna use it as a MIDI Fighter and plug it into my S4, which I hear a few people have done.

JesC I like your setup man, jus curious though by any chance do you know where I can pick up the UDG bag for Maschine in Cali?


Ohh, and back on topic, I love my S4.

Amen brother, IMO it's much easier to beatmatch than it is to midi map and be part computer tech.

can u do this to s4? many people said it aint possible.... cuz u cant buy the parts right?
Ill be honest a lot of people jumped on the S4 and didnt have much experience on how to troubleshoot gear. they wanted everything to be plug and play. Being a digital dj requires you to be part geek and part handy manny to fix things.

i am still kind of hesitating to buy the s4... cuz of the faders and replacement issues... i am not sure it is so stable as the vci although native does do very quality stuff,,,

Worth every penny. Although my VCI holds a special part of me, what a classic piece of gear .

its really hard to compare a vci-100 thats been out for many years to a s4 that has no more than 2 months on the streets and expected it to work 100% and replacement parts be avail at radio shack.

yeah but this is what i mean... u have a down side that u cant chnage the faders and etc... vci's are easy to repair and repplace... but where would u get parts for s4 anyways? native is asking to send it in if anything happens... what if u really fully rely on it? i personally love the vci and if something happens within minutes i can get the fix...
