Removing an overlay and opinions on V3 Map vs V4 Map
Removing an overlay and opinions on V3 Map vs V4 Map Posted on: 08.03.2012 by Elida Vencil Hey all, i just purachased my first midi controller (and Traktor Pro 2).I bought a used Black VCI-100 which has been upgraded to firmware 1.4 and has a V3 Overlay on it plus a chip which he described "adds more resolution and Midi notes to the controller's knobs and jog wheels." I haven't received it yet so I don't know the big differences between the V3 midi map and the V4 but i feel like the V4 is more popular so I wanted to get a V4 overlay. Problem is that I don't know how removing the V3 overlay will go, I feel like it will be like peeling a sticker which is a delicate process if one doesn't wanna get all the sticky residue everywhere. So my questions are: has anyone removed an overlay? How did it go? Any advice? and Which map do you prefer and why? V3 or V4? Thanks so much! | |

| Della Kalender 12.03.2012 | I recently completed an arcade mod with new v4 overlay. Honestly one of my sides was already coming off so I just slowly pulled it off, just be careful, really sticky. Also use a razor to scrape excess old ahesive |
| Fred Offill 09.03.2012 | I had an overlay on my vci 100 and I bought a new one because it was damaged when i did the arcade mod. All I did is stick it on top of the old one and it worked perfectly. Doesn't look like it has 2 overlay's |
