fx presets not working
Posted on: 12.05.2010 by Barbie Whorf
I love my new VCI100se, but for some reason the fx preset buttons don't do anything. Now that I'm becoming a bit more proficient using the mouse is getting really irritating - any ideas?

edit: when I press the button the led comes on but turns off as soon as I release the button

I installed the Glitch patch once with everything and again with just the Effects and that solved my problem. You have the hold the FX1-4 and hit the Headphone button twice. Thanks

1. Set-up: Computer, OS, Traktor version (and whether Pro, Duo, LE or Scratch), soundcard and anything running along with these in the computer.
Speaking for myself, I am using it on a Dell PC for practicing. Since it ha sa soundcard (not sure which) built in, it makes like easier for ready to use. I am also using Traktor Pro.
2. VCI-100: Is it an SE, Arcade, and the firmware (if its SE or Arcade its 1.3).
SE with latest firmware 1.3
3. TSI: Exactly which TSI are you using, the current as of today is 3_5_1 or 3_5_1_FX_Fix.
The TSI 3_5_1. I believe I tried loading the FX Fix as well and no comply.
4. Description of what you are doing and what Traktor is/is not doing.
Trying to use the presets for the FX and the buttons do not change. I am stuck changing the presets with the mouse
Sorry, but a "me too" doesn't help us sort you out and trust me there are lots of people here who will go a long way to help. Just give us something to work with.

The FX selectable from the "FX Presets" list are activated by pressing the little button and at the same time selecting the deck (with the appropriate headphone button) you want to assign it to. If you press the headphone button a second time while still holding the little FX button, you get a preset setting for the chained FX.

BUT you must have Traktor Pro or Scratch Pro to have chained FX. AND you have to have chained FX selected (either in the Preferences or by selecting via the FX Type button on the VCI).

If that doesn't help, give us your details and we'll do our level best to get you running!

Well does anybody at least have any suggestions apart from installing Windows 7?

If the others post their system details it would probably help us - guys?

Thanks for taking the problem seriously.

1. Set-up: Computer, OS, Traktor version (and whether Pro, Duo, LE or Scratch), soundcard and anything running along with these in the computer.

Hp pavilion dv3, Vista Home Premium 32bit, traktor pro 1.2.6, audio 2 DJ.

VCI100SE

3. TSI: Exactly which TSI are you using?
VCI-100SE3_5 (GLITCH FIX)

4. Description of what you are doing and what Traktor is/is not doing.

Previous posts:

"....fx preset + headphone button turns *an* effect button on, but never the one I'm pressing. When I try the same button again (with relevant deck headphone button at the same time) it doesn't turn the fx off. It doesn't seem to do anything at all."

".....I tried switching between modes using fx type - it makes the first fx preset on the left deck come on, but it won't turn off, and all the others are still random."


"When I hold a fx preset button, and then press a headphone button it successfully changes the bank of fx that are loaded onto that fx bank. But what i want is just to press the button on it's own and it turns the the fx slot on or off. I don't mind just using 2 fx slots on each deck (1&2 for deck A and 3&4 for Deck B) and I'd edit it myself but there's sooooo many fx controls assigned in the control manager and none of them say "fx slot 1" or 2 etc."

Any ideas?

Yes, both.

When I hold a fx preset button, and then press a headphone button it successfully changes the bank of fx that are loaded onto that fx bank. But what i want is just to press the button on it's own and it turns the the fx slot on or off. I don't mind just using 2 fx slots on each deck (1&2 for deck A and 3&4 for Deck B) and I'd edit it myself but there's sooooo many fx controls assigned in the control manager and none of them say "fx slot 1" or 2 etc.

I've got a gig tomorrow by the way!

Have you tried reimporting your TSI file? Also, are you using the most current version of Traktor Pro?
Barbie Whorf
14.05.2010
Yes it's Traktor Pro, and I tried switching between modes using fx type - it makes the first fx preset on the left deck come on, but it won't turn off, and all the others are still random.
Corine Kasman
12.05.2010
Are you using Traktor Pro? If so, make sure the FX is turned to chained (use the FX Type button on the top right.

If your in Traktor LE, there is no chained FX so it wont work properly.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I've just remembered that I tried that fx preset + headphone button when I first found the problem. I tried it again now and the same thing happened as before - it turns *an* effect button on, but never the one I'm pressing. And when I try the same button again (with headphone button after) it doesn't turn the fx off. It doesn't seem to do anything at all.
Corine Kasman

Press the FX button, and while holding it press the headphone button of the deck you want to assign it to. If you hit the headphone button twice while holding the FX, you get a nice setting of the FX too!

Let us know if this helps.

Phil.
