random dropouts Posted on: 28.06.2010 by Lane Ylitalo Hey I just got my arcade controller today, I am using the cable that came with my controller. I LOVE the thing, except sometimes... it drops connection. For seemingly no reason. I have used and applied BOTH newest .tsi files, it seems to be an effect issue that causes it mainly. YES, I applied the "effect glitch" file. Anyone know of a more stable mapping, maybe older? Or how to fix this issue? Thanks (ps board newb, sry if I posted in the wrong area or missed something) Edit: Running traktor 1.2.4 pro on vista. I tried rebooting multiple times after importing and looked at ean's tech help file. I'm new, but not retarded. Just don't want you all to assume the worst. I did find a 2.5 file I'm going to try, but still, any help would be great. | |

This seems to fix the problem as far as I can tell. Still haven't gotten out to buy the adapter yet... but for now I believe I have it fixed. I'd rather have stability than added options, however cool they are I tweaked some other things to more suit my style and usability as well, haven't come across any real problems though. Overall love the controller and what all you guys at DJTT do, just mildly disappointed that a nearly 1k controller glitched out on me out of the box (still believe the problem is on my end) Would still recommend it though, love the thing. Thanks for the input as well, I'll reply again if I run into any problems. I would ideally like to just run a slightly mod'd 3.5 tsi with the fader fx options, so I'll post if I run into more problems/ discover anything else. Thanks again |

| Johnie Lytton 01.07.2010 | Have you tried another OS? Is vista up to date? 32 or 64 bit ? Have you tried a Mac? |
| Mariah Itter 01.07.2010 | Hope you sort out your prob, i sold a modded vci to a fella on here last year, he had tons of problems, but it turned out to be his desktop pc in the end. Try it on a different pc or laptop and see how it goes. |
| Leeanna Ayla 01.07.2010 | Glad you got it worked out. Don't be a stranger. |

| Leeanna Ayla 01.07.2010 | Sometimes it takes loading the same tsi file a couple of times to get things working right. Might be worth a try. Does the arcade come with the better quality DJTT cable? |
| Lane Ylitalo 30.06.2010 | Yeah I thought about that being a possibility too but the one I have at the house did not register . Its direct (no hub), but I have 4 usb slots so I'll try another one for the evening . Will prolly buy an adapter tomorrow, hope this fixes the issue, since it seems to be a problem on my end if no one else is having the controller lock up. |
| Corine Kasman 30.06.2010 | Seems like it could be a USB port issue, like it is not supplying enough power to the VCI, that is the only reason I can see it being "dropped". Try another port for a short term solution and an adapter as a longer term one. If you are running it through a hub, make sure it is powered and better stilled multi-tt. Let us know if this helps. Phil. |
| Lane Ylitalo 30.06.2010 | upgraded, still having issues. I even tried to use the 3.3 tsi before upgrading and still had problems. It seems to be triggered by the jog wheel. It only locks up on me when I scratch or use the fader fx. I believe it has to do with me "touching" the jog wheel. I.E. pushing on top of it to stop a track or to activate the given effect. Perhaps I am just doing something improperly that is sending mixed signals and causing the hangup... either way this can't happen when I do a show and needs to be fixed ASAFP... seems like I'm on my own for that one. Any help is welcome |
| Leeanna Ayla 28.06.2010 | 1.2.6 is the latest version. Try updating and see if it helps. |
