| Randell Burfeind 16.01.2010 | hey glen... post ur mapping too |
14.01.2010 | A quick question in between: I have my own mapping for the VCI-300. I have made it so that when touching the platters the schratch function is enabled. I have made the scratch buttons on both sides in to a modifier M=0, set value to 1, interaction mode; hold. It is set up so that when i hold this modifer and touch the platter i can seek position in a track (accelerated). It seems to work, however, when I let go of the modifer the jog seems to remain in seek position-mode. Also it does not seem to respond to the modifer every time. Anybody got an idea of what's going wrong here? I have mapped useing the sides of the platter for pitch bending. Many thanx in advance EDIT: Allready got it. I just used another modifer. Now works like a charm. |
| Randell Burfeind 09.01.2010 | thanks.. i gotta try it out! |

| Cathie Applehans 07.01.2010 | First off, I would like to thank you Claude for releasing this awesome TSI, as well as Morbido, Remote, and the rest of the community for your efforts for making the 300 a viable tool for Traktor Scratch Pro. So far I have been struggling with tsi's and customizing them to get a setup which feels right, works well, and feels intuitive, so far this is the answer. I felt bummed when I first opened up my 300 and found that it didn't play nice with Traktor out of the box. I did some more research and came to the conclusion that I would have to wait for the official DJTT release. I then tried brute forcing my tsi to get it to work, but am so glad that I found yours. As of yesterday I was 80% sure I was going to try to sell my 300 to get a 100, then I tried your setup out and immediately was pleased. Just wanted to say thanks, and keep up the great work! |

| Andriy Gavrysh 10.12.2009 | No problem - good luck |
| Seymour Brode 10.12.2009 | thnx! |
| Andriy Gavrysh 10.12.2009 | Please read through the threads about the vci-300 and traktor pro. I know they're long, but it's worth it. You'll then find out that you don't need mini.translator with Traktor PRO only with Traktor 3. And yes, you'll probably need ASIO4ALL (if you're on a Windows PC). |
| Seymour Brode 10.12.2009 | I mean my vci 300 and traktor don't work. I use mini.translator and configured it properly. But when i start Traktor pro i can't hear sound of the track? I heard something about ASIO4ALL, can that help me to solve this problem? Thank for reply |
| Andriy Gavrysh 10.12.2009 | what do you mean? the vci-300 works fine with traktor pro... all you need is one output, and the 300 has got one |
| Seymour Brode 10.12.2009 | ok but where is the other way to make vci 300 work with traktor pro? bless |
| Andriy Gavrysh 10.12.2009 | The VCI-300 only supports 2 in and 2 out, 2 in so you can use the Mic Input and 2 out so you can connect your VCI-300 to your stereo or to a mixer. You can't mix externally with the 300, so there is no second output. |
| Seymour Brode 10.12.2009 | I have problem with 2 in 2 out problem on traktor, i need 4 in 4 out. Does anybody solve this problem? |
| Andriy Gavrysh 30.03.2009 | damn, forgot to look at yours... sorry i already downloaded it but totally forgot to look at it *argh* i will stop those senseless posts right now and take a look at it first |
| Velvet Schinke 30.03.2009 | Morbido "but can anyone of you tell me how to tempo bend using the outer side of the jog?" Check out my tsi. I got it working for quit long time now. :) |
| Andriy Gavrysh 30.03.2009 | only small bugfixes... can't see anything useful in 1.1.2 for me but tbh bugfixes are as important as new features... they are even more important for ppl having those nasty bugs and i still wonder how to reproduce the behaviour of itch... i could give up scratch, but can anyone of you tell me how to tempo bend using the outer side of the jog? i only find the option to do that via buttons... and i can't wrap my head around that cdj scratch + tempo bend - i really don't know what that thing does |
| Manie Novielli 30.03.2009 | bump ... well .. some bugfixing in TPro 1.1.2 but still not anything fixed. i'm still wondering how to use the platters for "jog scratch/tempo bend" and then ending up at the same bpm's you had before (in sync). |
| Andriy Gavrysh 17.03.2009 | hehe, no prob. i wondered myself when i read your question - until i looked at the first page to see that there's no mapping there |
| Bernardo Wenrick 17.03.2009 | Thanks, I just thought he would just edit his 1st post and just update the TSI file right on there. But thanks again for showing me the way, lol. |
| Andriy Gavrysh 17.03.2009 | yep, you're missing page 3, 4 and 5 - there are the tsi's (obviously the newest one is on page 5) |
| Bernardo Wenrick 17.03.2009 | Am I missing something? I can't find the link to download the TSI? |
| Gena Tautolo 17.03.2009 | amazingly this seems to have been a vci-related issue - power adaptor i was using was switched to wrong voltage and it was causing havoc. on 9v now and no major problems.... |
| Virgil Yacullo 16.03.2009 | I kind of agree with you on these issues. I'm using a brand new Macbook Pro 17" laptop with Traktor Pro 1.1.1, and I have many if the same issues. Issues that I see very often: 1. The VCI-300 and VCM-100 knobs and faders won't work until you twist them multiple times, and then the signal "catches" and it works within Traktor. 2. More than once during a set I've had the file browser just start scrolling all the way down or all the way up, and it cannot be stopped. No matter what you press or try, you can't gain control of it, and after a few minutes of frantically clicking the center dial and trying random buttons it will unfreeze and allow you to browse again, or it won't, and you have to restart Traktor. 3. Every single time (100% of the time with any version of Traktor Pro), when I shut Traktor Pro down, it remains running in the OSX taskbar, and you have to FORCE QUIT, which then sends a problem report to Apple. On another note, in this TSI, I have everything working the way it is supposed to be, except what I had mentioned prior: There is no way to browse up and down using the jog wheel. It says to use SHIFT + JOG WHEEL (OUTER EDGE) but that doesn't do anything for me...? |
| Andriy Gavrysh 16.03.2009 | does it sync if you have your vci attached but use the sync keys on your keyboard? those issues really seem strange... are you syncing to the master clock or to the other decks? did you set beatgrids? |
| Gena Tautolo 16.03.2009 | os x 10.4.11. am going to try a fresh install of traktor this evening, hopefully it will sort things out - strangest thing is definitely the sync issue - with the vci attached it doesn't sync correctly (it syncs to within .3% but not exactly), but when i just use the keyboard tsi it's fine! |
| MadMan Ajms 16.03.2009 | have you tried pressing on the actual on/off buttons on Traktor .on the screen? The FX are still a little buggy in my TSI I believe.,,needs an overhaul. I am now using a Korg NanoKontrol and works perfectly. As for the faders, maybe you are having confusion with the "soft take over" and how it will not respond. yes, Itch is very tight and responsive..The unit was designed around the software. ..just some thoughts. |
| Andriy Gavrysh 16.03.2009 | wohoa... now that really are a bunch of issues hm... i'm on a macbook pro myself, haven't got any probs with traktor 1.1.1 and my vci-300... i believe the best bet would be for you to remove traktor (there are instructions on how to properly do that on the NI community s) and do a clean install of it again... i know that's not a very good advice, but it's all i can believe of... sounds like you have some big problem... btw, which osx version are you using? |
| Gena Tautolo 16.03.2009 | to be honest it's a whole host of issues, FX stay toggled on and then skip (esp beatmasher), all sound dies and then 10 secs of silence and then reboots, sync doesn't seem to work properly with the vci attached and all controls feel unresponsive, you sometimes have to move a fader/pot up and down repeatedly to move a "stuck" control. no issues with itch.... traktor pro 1.1.1/itch, vci-300, macbook 2.16 Ghz, WD scorpio HD 320gb 7200 RPM, 2 Gb RAM |

| MadMan Ajms 16.03.2009 | sorry you feel Traktor is not working well for you. I have found that 1.1.1 is ok. I believe all programs have there problems but 1.1.1 is quite stable. Maybe post a new thread about your problems and maybe some others can try to sort it out. |
| Gena Tautolo 16.03.2009 | first of all thanks claude for all your hard work on this.... the issue that i have is that even after the new version i find that traktor is still pretty unresponsive and often locks up/fails to respond to controls etc.... i am currently just using traktor with a soundcard and keyboard mapping as the midi interface is still so f-ing buggy! |
| Serina Kouri 12.03.2009 | claudek, really appreciate all your work. doing a great job! hope you will continue as got an email today that NI will not come up with a tsi for the vci300 soon |

| Bernardo Wenrick 11.03.2009 | What I really would like is to use Traktor Pro with my VCI-300 and have it work as much as possible like Itch and use the NanoKontrol Pad for FX. Be able to use the job wheel to scratch like I do in Itch. But I would give all that up if Itch had atleast 4 FX right on the software where all I had to do is hit the shift button and something else to activate the FX. |
