VCI 100 TP2 Overlay...WE WANT ONE!!!
Posted on: 11.06.2011 by Deeanna Gripshover
Just before I say anything, I absolutely love this site and appreciate all of the work the djranking s team are doing for the controllerist community....however...

I really believe they should consider very carefully the possible decision to not create a new TP2 overlay for VCI 100. I love the arcade edition which I bought from the store and when I purchased it I was of the understanding that future support would be there.

In my opinion the VCI is still up there with any controller on the market as long as the DJTT team invest time and effort on mappings.

Please remember the shockwaves sent out when DJTT first released the 3.0 mappings, I am 100% sure this will be the case again when they release the TP2 mapping, however, without the overlay, it will struggle to match 3.0 success.

DJTT still sell both the SE and Arcade editions on the webstore therefore I feel they owe all future customers a promise of support especially given the $799 price.

The work they are doing with the midifighters is amazing but I really hope they don't fall into the trap of concentrating solely on one product. This relatively new controllerist community thrives on variety and evolutuion!

Please show your support for a new overlay by contributing to this thread.

really glad to read that. as for the overlay: why don't you call for advance payment via paypal for the overlay and then only go on to produce it if you get enough orders? if there's not enough interest, just refund the money. i for myself would certainly invest the money, because my old overlay is getting really ugly (broken edges and stuff). i guess that other heavy users have the same issues.

We are close to being finished with the mapping. I know you have been hearing that for a while, but just today one of the major bugs in the mapping was solved. The mapping is definitely a HIGH priority right now, and Chris has been spending the majority of his time working on it. These mappings take many, many, many hours to perfect. It is not a simple process and it's hard to predict exactly how long a mapping will take to create due to unexpected bugs.

We apologize for the lack of response, but we have replied to several threads stating that we are working on it. We are doing the best we can to get this mapping out to everyone, but we are a very small team here and have many things to juggle.

We will release the mapping when it is ready, get feedback from everyone, make changes if necessary, and then decide whether or not to go ahead with an overlay.

Thank you all for being patient, it's almost ready, and from what I have seen so far I'm sure everyone will love it.

i believe the new story is now that there is a mapping but they dont know if they will bother with an overlay, which i just dont get, as surely they can then put the new overlay on the recconditioned models they sell to "bedroom" djs... their words, not mine.

How bizarre, I was told on the facebook page only a couple of weeks ago that one was almost ready.

Id buy a new overlay if they release one. The vci im buying still has teh overlay with the blue arcade edition above the fader.

I put a post on Facebook a couple of days ago and was told that it's almost finished and will be available soon : )

It's been four months now since we were told that a new DJTT TPro2 VCI-100 mapping will be available to us. Anyone know whats up? I would also buy a new overlay for my VCI100 but I fear the S4 has just stolen the hearts of our favorite DJ blog.

Just to add my voice to the list, I too eagerly await a new mapping and overlay for TP2, to upgrade my VCI which I bought second hand on ebay with a battered early overlay and FW 1.2.
Refugio Chafetz
07.07.2011
yes! vci-100 arcade with firmware 1.4 tp2 overlay and accompanying midifighter/midifighter pro mappings would definitely get my money
Ardell Semrad

I've only just bought my VCI 100 last week from ebay, it has a traktor 3 overlay on it so I would love an overlay for TP2 and some coloured knobs / sliders : )

For what it's worth, I'm seeing vci's being sold on ebay practically every other day, surely this must be a new audience for you that will be looking to update. Like me, I've only just started on this journey but already hit a wall.

Please do a new overlay.

+1 on the wanting to purchase a new overlay as and when the mapping is released. (hell, I've bought the last two from you ... third times the charm ...)

Same... I would pay $100 for an overlay and mapping... say 200 people buy it... thats 2 grand... and you link it with a Midi Fighter Pro.. say 100 people now buy that.. thats $34900.... thats about $ 25100.... IF YOU MAKE AN OVERLAY + MAPPING WITH MIDI FIGHTER PRO WHICH GOES HAND IN HAND... I would like that

Dedicated midi fighter pro mapping for sample decks designed specifically to work with VCI-100 Tpro 2 = WIN!!!!

They'd shift a bunch more pro's too.

one of the main reasons I want a new overlay to be produced is to finally give me the excuse to do myself a DIY arcade mod!

Am interested in the new mapping but i'll be honest and say it's not a deal breaker for me. I'm happy with the current mapping and set up.

Would need another controller to rock those sample decks realistically anyway

Hey flashflooder. I'm really glad to hear that you've been working on the new mapping. Thanks for continuing your support of the VCI-100SE. I totally understand that it might not totally make sense to do a new overlay. Thanks for updating us. For what it's worth, I know I would be willing to actually pay some money just for the new mapping, if that would help it make sense financially to do an overlay (I'd buy that too.) Thanks, keep us updated!

damn guys, the level of interest for a new overlay is much greater than i expected. i am happily surprised to hear/read that.

unfortunately it's been so busy as of late that i haven't been able to make a ton of progress on this but i have the core of a new mapping done (which takes a lot of the feature requests into account) and i have begun a new overlay design. i can't promise that the overlay will for sure be made but i hope we can make it happen. the main issue is making the overlay different enough that it makes sense to purchase a new one instead of just learning what the new functions are on the old overlay. however, if a new overlay isn't made i will definitely still release the new mapping that i have been working on.

hopefully i'll have some more detailed news for you guys in the future, but for now, that's pretty much all i have to say.

Hey guys, not a lot of posts hear because I'm over at DJ Forums but yes, PLEASE come out with a new overlay/final mapping...

I have had a custom VCI for a year and have upgraded to firmware 1.4...

I downloaded T2 the first day it came out, but have never used it because of my VCI... Come on DJTT help us all out, keep it alive! Until then, I am still using Traktor Pro.

Thanks guys I look forward to it!

Yea, I discovered this community trying to find out info about the vci-100, and now that I own one I really want you guys to make a new overlay! Please give us a definitive answer soon, because if you guys aren't gonna make one I will make one myself somehow.

A lot of good points were brought up, Im on board with keeping the VCI ALIVE! and would greatly appreciate a new overlay w/ the mapping that is currently being made

I know DJ TT is working hard and a lot of us on this community appreciate the effort you guys put in day in day out. But the VCI is really why i joined this community and everything about it just puts the fun into Djing for me. I believe us VCI owners deserve a final answer whether or not you guys are gonna be making this mapping and overlay, I don't mean to sound like a beggar but don't leave us hanging.
