VCI 100 Problems
VCI 100 Problems Posted on: 12.04.2011 by Somer Vaudo Hi,I am having problems after doing the 1.4 firmware update. Initially all seemed fine, disco mode worked and all was well. Then suddenly, the controls are affecting each other, particularly the pitch faders that are altering the mixer settings. It seems that most controls are affecting each other and its pretty unusable. I have re-installed the tsi many times (using the large button) re-started and all the usual stuff, even tried a different PC and Traktor Pro 2 all give pretty similar results, is it possible the VCI has a fault? The data light stays on in some pitch fader positions. Thanks! | |
| Somer Vaudo 26.07.2011 | Hi, Yes, apparently a rare fault, it was the 'motherboard' at a cost of about |

| Ardell Semrad 28.07.2011 | Hi! this is a real long shot but i had a problem. With me tho it was a case of a couple of the special effects were on without me realising after playing with the fader effects. Ones like reverb etc and the machine just kept playing even tho there were no tracks loaded and everything went a bit pear shaped, I turned the effects off and that solved everything. good luck IPM |

| Maddie Heasley 26.07.2011 | I'm having similar problems, although i hadn't upgraded to the 1.4 firmware. The faders are not working right. What is the "main PCB" that was replaced and solved your problem? tnx |
| Somer Vaudo 09.05.2011 | In fact this was caused by the main PCB being faulty (the one with the buttons on). This has now been replaced by Over Audio www.overaudio.co.uk Meanwhile I bought an S4! |

The manual says that Windows users have to use option "a" ... but i always have this "not connected" issue.. also.. as soon as i plug the controller.. sometimes my pc recognices the device..and i have an icon on my taskbar.. sometimes not... Sorry if my english isnt perfect (im from Peru)... but i really need your help. |
| Somer Vaudo 20.04.2011 | Hi, Thanks for your reply... I don't, I just load one at a time, so just to be sure, I just have generic keyboard and VCI-100SE v3.6.4 PC [FW 1.4] I load them twice, restarting traktor each time and selecting the in and out ports to the appropriate entry. Anything else you can believe of? This is taking over my life!! |
| Leeanna Ayla 20.04.2011 | Do you have any other mappings loaded? |
| Somer Vaudo 20.04.2011 | So now, I am at a total loss, I don't mind trying anything, could there be something obvious I am overlooking? I am considering buying another VCI just to see if there is any difference. I haven't heard about the VCI ever being 'faulty' in this respect, but, I am really running out of options. Has the DJTT workshop ever come across this? Someone talk to me please! |
| Somer Vaudo 19.04.2011 | What can cause one control on the VCI to effect multiple others in Traktor, is that called bleeding? Certainly is what I am calling it LOL. Could this possibly be an earthing issue? |
| Somer Vaudo 18.04.2011 | Hi, Yes, that where I am selecting, seems to be USB Audio Device on XP and Vestax PC Controller in Win 7. Please see this image... http://www.justoffbase.com/VCI.jpg Any other ideas, PLEASE!?? |

But, I am getting really bad problems, only occasionally will this perform as it should. The weird thing is that, sometimes its starts off ok, but then gradually deteriates to the point of being unusable, with a single control effecting multiple others. I can replicate this behaviour on other computers, XP and windows 7. I was on the point of deciding that it was the VCI itself, but then why would it sometimes work, and works fine with the 1.4 basic tsi that was recently posted (thanks!) I would really appreciate some help with this! Thanks! |
| Somer Vaudo 13.04.2011 | Hi, Yes that is a good point, in fact I have them set to USB Audio Device since that is the only option I have with Win XP. I notice with Win 7 I have the choice of Vestax PC Controller, so I am guessing that info is coming from the OS when the hardware first installs itself? (I would use this but I have issues with Traktor crashing that I am working through with NI) Honestly, since I started all this, I have never had so many issues with various things, seem to spend more time getting the gear to work than playing! Between 2 PC's, 2 Traktors, and 3 OS's just about manage to cobble something together to make some dodgy sounds! |
| Tatum Ansaldo 13.04.2011 | Sounds like you have your in/out ports set to 'all ports'. Select the VCI in both drop down menus. |
| Somer Vaudo 13.04.2011 | Hi, Thanks for your reply, I haven't yet, I guess that's got to be worth a go, and I will be able to report if the upgrade tool still works after going through the washing machine! Cheers! |
| Rocco Fiveash 12.04.2011 | Did you try and reflash it? |
