Moonie 4 Deck VCI-100 Mapping, for Pro 1.1 and Firmware 1.3

Ok guys,

Here is my 4 deck mapping for traktor Pro 1.1.2
It is designed with the 1.3 firmware in mind, although it will work with some minorish modification on a 1.1 or 1.2 unit.

Just unzip and install as usual.

The aim was to create a simple and straightforward 4 deck mapping that was a good everyday work horse. With this in mind, it does not require a DJTT overlay and can be used with your VCI-100 without needing to re-label buttons.

Every button works as labelled, but some areas need explanation:-

Starting in the Top Left Corner of the Unit.

The column of three buttons work as follows, from top to bottom:-

Tree List Up
Tree List Down
Tree List Expand

This little section thus allows you to navigate your folders and playlists without needing the mouse, and has auto repeat built in, so no need to click click click to go up and down.

The 4 tiny black buttons from top to bottom are:-

Loop size decrease deck a
Loop size increase deck a
Loop size decrease deck b
Loop size increase deck b


Just to the right of this section you have the usual load section.
The up/down buttons go up and down playlists as usual, and the load a/b load tracks to their respective decks.

The preview button I have turned into a browser view mode, as I don't use the mini preview player when I gig, it seemed a better use for me.

Ok.. in the mixer section of the unit (Applies to both left and right sides):-

Buttons from the top down are:-

Eq Hi and Gain
Eq Mid (Lablled mid hi)
Eq Low (Labelled mid low)
Filter (Labelled low)

The tiny black balance rotaries are now key adjust.

The effect button toggles the effects units on and off. So if both FX units are off, both will be turned on, and vice versa. You can turn on (and off) individual FX units in another section).

Monitor cue.. as labelled


Ok.. moving over to the top right of the unit, the effects/master section:-

The select button illuminates the red LED with either A, B or master, but otherwise does nothing in itself.

The tiny black buttons from top to bottom:-

Turn on FX bank 1
Turn on FX bank 2

This applies to whichever deck the red LED is lit for. If the LED is set to master, they do nothing.

If A is lit:-

All the rotaries and knobs control FX bank 1, as they appear on screen, when FX bank 1 is set to chained effects.

If B is lit:-

All the rotaries and knobs control FX bank 2, as they appear on screen, but this time setup as an advanced effect.

If the Master is lit:-

Rotaries:-

From left to right. First 2 do nothing, third one changes monitor cue volume. (I find the tiny black buttons just above are too small for doing this). The last rotary changes monitor/master mix.

The buttons underneath.

From left to right. The first is a low eq kill for deck a, the second is the same for deck b. The third snaps the monitor/master mix to 50/50, and the last toggles the monitor master mix from 0 to 100. This is the best solution I can come up with in the absence of properly split cueing ala DJM-600.

Ok.. moving to the very top right, that tiny section:-

All tiny black rotaries are as labelled.
The button labelled 'effect' is your MASTER DECK TOGGLE. Pressing this button will change the screen view to 4 decks, and make EVERY CONTROL that operated deck a, now operate deck c. Similarly, any control that operated deck b, now controls deck d.

All other buttons should operate as labelled, with just one exception. The transport buttons at the bottom of the unit.. the one on the far right of each row of 4 (labelled set cue), resets the track position to the beginning of the track. I find that when I am cueing up to set levels, its a really handy way to skip back to the start, ready to play the track out.

In the next version, I hope to add some cue point magic and some smart fader/eq stuff.
