Both Scratch Buttons kill Jogwheels - on purpose?
Posted on: 07.08.2012 by Hyacinth Sabulsky
Is this normal?

I have the 1.4FW arcade modded version. I was experimenting with whether or not I prefer to use the outer plastic rim for tempo nudging or turning off Scratch Mode entirely and using the whole platter when I stumbled upon this: Pressing both Scratch buttons while lit green disables the jog wheels entirely. The Scratch buttons stay lit green but the jog wheels' LEDs go dark. When I press them both again the jog wheels' LEDs come back on and everything works again.

Anyone else experienced this? Is there any reason why I would want to disable the jog wheels entirely while mixing?

that

i believe that's why mapping anything to those buttons cause problems too, as it's an internal firmware/hardware thing

07.08.2012		yup when pressing both scratch buttons the jog leds turn off on mine aswell so guess it must be a feature like disco mode when pressing the slice and echo on the left deck when turning the unit on
Hyacinth Sabulsky
07.08.2012		that happens for me when i turn off scratch mode too, but can you make the jog wheels go dark by pressing both scratch buttons at the same time? just wondering if this is a bug or a feature.

07.08.2012		it works perfectly fine on my vci100 with 1.4 firmware without scratch mode only the centre of the jogs adjusts pitch
