Couple questions-noob here

finally got my vci100se. Been watching the tutorial videos, they have helped a little bit except when Ean says "press this one button, when in reality he is pressing 2 or 3 to get to that point without telling us .


Is there a PDF file for the mappings to give you a better idea of what the buttons do for beginners?

My crossfader is wonky, if i slide it just a hair one direction it shows up as going all the way in traktor? Now i had a track playing on the left deck and i was playing one in the right in my headphones but it was coming through overhead because it was a centimeter towards the middle.

What do I have to do to get the effect knobs up top working? I can get them to work on deck 1, but they dont work on deck 2? I can see stuff changing when i press FX type. I have control fx on #2 and everythings turning, but its not making any effect noises.


What do I have to press to change FX Presets on the left side. I can only get FX Preset number 2 to light up. or is it supposed to be like that?

And now none of my FX Preset buttons are lite up. I cant get them to light up again.
thanks.

I already searched and found the answer to the question about the pitch fader.

So far I've had traktor freeze up twice on me. I will be playing around and doing FaderFX and then it just freezes with a loud buzzing noise, and I have to kill the program and reset the controller.

Is this my laptop causing it to freeze or what?

thanks for the quick replies.

Just hooked up to my laptop to see if it would run traktor, and its doing fine so far. Only problems I have now are Deck A wont set the loop. I press loop8 and it only puts an In and not an out. So it doesn't loop it just sets a cue.

And i'm not understanding the lighting up on the fx presets, sometimes they are light up and sometimes they arent.

thank you. that helped with the FX presets. And i also figured out the right side effects. Dont remember how tough haha.

Now im just curious on the crossfader, and why its janky.

There's a walkthrough in the zip file that contains the 3_5_2 mapping.
