Help Total newb Posted on: 30.09.2010 by Arnoldo Amlong Hi All, after searching various reviews, community
s and you tube vids I decided to plunge in and get a used vci-100 from ebay. I have a few questions I need to ask and a few problems I hope you can help to solve.How do I find out what firmware my vci is running? When using Traktor 3 LE sometimes the midi is set automatically to the vci but sometimes it's not and I can't select it manually. When using Traktor Pro 1.2.4 I can't make the midi settings save so they revert back to keyboard even though the icon on the player show the midi is connected. A fresh install sometimes solves this but as you can imagine I don't want to re-installing Traktor. | |

I've tried the vci on a demo of PCDJ and it works but I don't want to buy that software. I do like virtual dj except the price is too high. What's you opinion on Numark cue, I've been told it's the same as virtual dj |

Leeanna Ayla 01.10.2010 | You'll have to have at least 1.3 for most of the functions to work with the latest mappings. DJTT doesn't sell a cable to do the upgrade with so you'll have to buy one on your own. I used as DX-UBDB9 cable from Best Buy to do my firmware upgrade. |
Arnoldo Amlong 01.10.2010 | I'm assuming it's stock as I got it used from ebay. I'm planning to upgrade as soon as I can get the chip and cable from here but at the moment there's no cables in stock. Or can I use a standard usb to serial cable with the chip? |
Leeanna Ayla 30.09.2010 | Which firmware are you using? It doesn't matter which one you see when you open the controller manager. Are you using the big import button to import the tsi? When you set the VCI in the in/out ports after that does it not work then? The current mappings will not work with anything older than 1.2.4 so Traktor 3 LE won't work. Is the Traktor Pro your using a legit version? I've heard of some problems with Traktor's obtained from torrent sites. As far as which software to use I use traktor and don't know much about anything else. |
