VCI-100SE v4 Mapping for Traktor Pro 2
VCI-100SE v4 Mapping for Traktor Pro 2 Posted on: 09.08.2011 by Jodi Lacerra After long anticipation, the initial version of the VCI-100SE v4.0 mapping for Traktor Pro 2 is here. Please note that this mapping has been designed to utilize Traktor Pro 2 functions and the mapping will not work with earlier Traktor versions.The core of the mapping shares a lot of similarities to the v3.6.4 VCI-100 mapping; however, there are a number of key changes as follows (I am going to reference things based on the current overlay text):
There are some other small changes within the mapping, but those listed above are all of the major changes. This is an initial release of DJTT's new Traktor Pro 2 mapping for the VCI-100SE, updates to follow if necessary. Please use this thread if you believe you found a bug or have questions about the mapping's functionality. I hope to post a visual layout soon, but for now the text above will have to do. Thanks to everyone for your patience in getting this mapping out and I appreciate everyone's support along the way. EDIT: In v4.1, a few minor bugs and LED issues were fixed. Also, Shift+the Jog wheel no longer sets Cue Points on the fly. Now, Shift+Jog turn will seek through a track (with scratch on or off). | |

Lavon Querubin 09.07.2012 | I'm having several issues with this and Traktor 2.5 (Firmware 1.3) I liked the feature where Deck C and D "disappear" when I'm not controlling them. Now, instead, they grow bigger when I've deactivated control of them. The FX preset buttons load the preset instantly when I hit the button, but sends it to FX bank 1. Now, holding FX-Preset 1 and either headphone button (which used to load that FX into bank 1 or 2) moves up a folder in the browser. Fader FX-mode manipulates the same FX-bank (1) for both decks (!). This is a huge issue for me. The 3.6.4 worked much better for Traktor 2.5 for me, except the Sampler-section did some random stuff.. |
Laurinda Bengert 06.07.2012 | Hi everyone ! I've got a problem with 4.1 and Traktor 2.. I can activate the effects on deck B BUT they don't work... ? Any solution ??? |
Yuko Armacost 27.06.2012 | I have a mapping I am working on for those people like me who use the VCI-100SE with an external mixer. All the mixer applications I have re-assigned to effects and other nice functions. Will post soon. |
Lizabeth Peight 10.06.2012 | from my limited play around before rolling back to 2.2 all elements of the mapping work less sample decks, which makes sense really! |
Suellen Ianelli 09.06.2012 | i don't fiddle around with mappings, that's why i was just wondering if i can still use the current djtt mapping after upgrading to 2.5 - well, i guess it's time to place my order for the kontrol f1 then! mehr bunte lichter! |
Ashlea Nikolic 08.06.2012 | I tested it. If you want i can check out certain commands for you in combination with traktor 2.5 |

Suellen Ianelli 07.06.2012 | what about the rest of the mapping? transport, effects etc? i don't care about the remix deck functionality since i am planning to use an f1 for that anyway. |
Lizabeth Peight 07.06.2012 | no it does not. sample dex functionality does not work in the remix decks. |
Suellen Ianelli 06.06.2012 | is anyone using the v4 maping with traktor 2.5? does it work? |
Lizabeth Peight 26.05.2012 | Hi folks! so here's a question for folks in general, maybe Klaemo a little more than most. What are the chances that someone far cleverer than I will be able to adapt Flashflooder or Klaemo's latest mappings (with the latest overlay) to Pro 2.5. I understand it would be an impossible task to get much of the signals in, but as the remix decks do still on a basic level function similar to the sample decks, how likely is it that the mapping could be mofified to at least retain the sample deck functionality (ie. load and trigger) within the remix decks. I ask this question as it would seem that 2.5 is an upgrade in many ways (better beat count/gridding engine, MUCH lower CPU usage, etc..... its almost as though the bigwigs at NI were following our loving petition for a new overlay and announced a new version of traktor only weeks later just to f*** with our heads!!! of course thats ridiculous, but the timing was kind of ironic. Anyhow, if anyone has any ideas or opinions on this I would love to hear them. Thanks for reading! J |

Tawnya Attia 26.04.2012 | well. I'm pretty sure all you need to do is delete the jogwheel and pitch fader assignments and reassign them yourself. the rest of the mapping should still work normally. do none of the controls work whatsoever ? check to see if the midi in/out ports are set to the vestax vci100. sometimes importing the mapping does not do this automatically.... |
Deejay Rossi 26.04.2012 | arghghh so right you all are..I sent it in Sept. 2009... so I do not have the latest firmware. What is the most updated traktor that works with 1.3 firmware? |
Tawnya Attia 24.04.2012 | i dont believe its possible for you to have fw1.4 if you sent it 2 years ago. the firmware released in october 2010. thats around 1.5 years ago. |
Deejay Rossi 24.04.2012 | Actually I am about 90% positive I have firmware 1.4 because I remember I wanted the higher resolution jog wheels. -what is the way to tell what you have? |

I have version 1.4 firmware..and was able to use the VCI_100SE v3 upgrade. I am using Traktor Pro 2 2.13 with a VCI-100SE Arcade VCI firmware 1.4 I tried importing it twice, and even did a full reboot and restart..nothing last 2 days. |
Apolonia Skibinski 16.04.2012 | Ive had an major issue with the dedicated echo button.If i have samples playing in deck 4, then use the echo button, it changes the tempo by half on the samples.Then when i push sync to correct it on deck 4 it plays them too fast, a 3rd press actually syncs them again. I found that if i stop the samples before releasing the echo button it doesnt happen and i can start them synced fine.But the whole bug comes from the samples still playing when you release that button.If it happens pressing the echo button re-syncs them for the time it is pressed also. Hope i explained this ok, i could throw up a video on youtube. |
Tawnya Attia 09.04.2012 | @tuckerdgreat:- already responded to you before. go here:- http://community .djranking s.com/showthr...l=1#post456581 |
Glen Crohn 09.04.2012 | hi i have the new overlay as well can u tell me where did u excatly get the tsi file for that....theres so much stuff on this site..the ones ive tried doesnt seem to work...aslo ..did u have to got thru the set up wizard?.... thanks |
Wally Aduna 03.04.2012 | @klaemo - Thanks bud, that's why it wasn't jumping out at me initially I'll take a look at it tomorrow. Just realised someting that has been puzzling me with the tempo of the samples, in the sample decks. I exposed the master clock, and noticed the track deck which is highlighted as master, could be dependent on the position of the channel faders, and the cross fader. e.g. track deck A could have a track 127bpm, and not be playing. track deck B could have a track loaded at 110 bpm, and be playing. track deck D could have a sample loaded (from deck B), and be playing at a noticeably higher tempo than deck B (namely at 127bpm!). Even if it was set in loop mode, where the documentation says it should be synced. Tried the phase sync, and obv this didnt help, as it is phase not tempo. Then I realised, that either a function of the mapping (or trakor generally) as I was just playing at home, and not performing, my faders were on the side of deck A, and there was mismatch somehow between the software and hardware positions, so Deck A had been set to master (even though deck was stopped). This had me scratching my head for a while, as it there seemed to be no logical reason why sometimes the tempo of the samples would be correct, and sometimes seemingly fucked up. Anyhow, I am sure most of you know this already, but if this switches on the lightbulb for someone, then it was worth it. Cheers, Ry |
Mayra Depasse 03.04.2012 | @rd0360 hey dude, that function is done in hardware. the VCI does the modifier work for you. it sends out different midi notes on the 4 FX buttons depending on what state it's in. |
Lizabeth Peight 03.04.2012 | so funny that we finally got the new overlay we always wanted, sample decks and all...... and then along comes 2.5!!!! I hope someone on this community far smarter and knowledgeable than me can work out how to take advantage of the new 2.5 remix features using the new overlay we have. I cant see it being TOO hard, as 2.5 will be being given free to all S4 and S2 owners, so hopefully it follows the transition shouldnt be too difficult or painful. |
Wally Aduna 03.04.2012 | @ gonekrazy3000, Thanks, got it now! I personally wasn't getting on too well with the sampler features part of the various VCI-100 TP2 mappings posted in this thread. I have been reading Rainer's Traktor Bible for TP2, and looking at the various Traktor Bible plus updates. I have discovered during my reading/experimenting the "macro" type sampler buttons, that are new in the Traktor Pro 2.1.1 mapping commands, namely "play primary" & "play secondary". I believe I'll have a go at integrating them into the later versions of flashflooders/klaemo's mappings, see if I can get something that works better for me (of which I can share) One Q: in having a fiddle with the controller, and Klaemos latest mapping, I was looking at which buttons were mapped as modifiers, by pressing the buttons, and watching the modifier state value in the mapping window (just as a start to begin the climb up the proverbial mountain of cracking this mapping). I was expecting the rectangle button top right, that toggles between Fx 1, Fx 2 and sample (or "loop recorder" in the old version) to be associated with a modifier, but it didn't appear to be changing any M values? I am struggling to find how/where this is toggling feature is implemented in the mappings. I know the answer may not quite as straightforward as I might hope, however something that can get me on the right path, so I can see how this variable Fx, Fx2, sampler functionality is implemented. Cheers, Ry |
Lael Blacke 31.03.2012 | @ gonekrazy3000: Thanks! That helps! I believe it will just take a while until I'm into the whole bunch of functions and hints... |
Tawnya Attia 30.03.2012 | @rd0360:- Klaemos effects work the same way as the old 3.6.4 mapping. so to apply presets you hold a preset switch down then press the headphone cue button of the respective deck to apply the effects there. make sure to press the headphone button twice to apply the effect parameters correctly to that deck. the presets buttons are geared more towards the fader effects mode. the fx section is for manual effects selection. and for that hold down shift and move the knob to toggle what effect is applied to that knob. @ Dr Beat:- just press shift and move the fader to the default postion to reset the pitch fader. If you want 2 effect decks download the modified tsi made by klaemo that has a 2 effect unit version. |
Lael Blacke 29.03.2012 | Hi folks! I successfully updated my firmware to 1.4. Now I have a question regarding to the latest mapping. It seems that the pitch-faders are not set to 0 by default. There is al little offset (+/- 0,2 - 3). Is that a normal issue? For me as a traditional DJ, the pitch is still something I don't want to miss. One more thing: Will the small FX preset buttons only change FX unit 1? Is there a way to load different presets into unit 2 aswell? |
Glen Crohn 27.03.2012 | where is the lattest official tsi file tp2 v2...the one i currently have doesnt work |

I just tried loading flashflooders official tsi (at start of post) and they are functioning fine. I am keen to follow the old fader FX route. Also any thoughts on the sample deck loading issue some other users have reported. i.e. the playing deck stopping, as you sample to deck D? as stated in my PM I am keen to get involved and put some time into developing these mappings, just need a bit of time to get up to speed. I have 1.4FW and Traktor 2.1.2. Peace and love from Bristol Edit - OK, FX presets seem to be doing something. I guess they are just targeted at FX1, and does not correspond to the Control FX selected in the top right. i.e. if Control FX 2 is highlighted, the presets still only change FX1. Not a big deal, but an observation. |
Ashlea Nikolic 20.03.2012 | Hi guys, i enjoy my new v4 overlay very much. Good work and thanks to all producers! Now the new traktor version 2.5 is announced by Ni for may. Will there be a new vci100 mapping to use the new functionalities? Cheers Balou |
