serious problems with vci100 fw1.2 and 3.5tsi
Posted on: 23.06.2010 by Kelsey Maylone
First of all i have the traktor pro 1.2.6 and vci100 with 1.2 firmware and the last mapping loaded.
I have some issues.Sometimes stuck the echo juggle1-4 and 5-8 and fx button without doing something special.Then the most times i have to restart the vci but sometimes i have to restart the whole traktor.
Some other it stuck only the echo button and while i'm pressing this nothing else works.
What about these problems?Is this about the 1.2 firmware or i make something wrong?

Thanks in advance

When you look at the screen, are the the lower two FX banks in Advanced or Chained mode? They need to be in Advanced for Echo and Slice to work (Bank 3 for Slice and bank 4 for Echo).

The latest mapping was made for the 1.3 firmware.

I've had that happen on occasion as well. Not sure of the issue.

If you're on Vista/7, do this:

1. Open your Start menu and do a search for Power Options and open it.
2. Choose the High Performance Plan and then "Change Plan Settings".
3. Click on Change Advanced Power Settings.
4. Expand USB Settings.
5. Expand USB Selective Suspend Setting.
6. Set it to Disabled.

When you turn off the USB Root Hub power management, those settings should stick now.

No its connected to the the laptop.Today i tried the path device manager ---> Universal Serial Bus Controllers ---> Usb Root Hub ---> Properties ---> Power Managment ---> untick the (Allow the computer to turn-off this device to save power)
and i mixed one hour set without any problems.I still don't know how to do this permanent because when i restarted the system get back to default and these choices were ticked again!
Could be this cause the problem?It suppsed that this stop the power distribution το devices for power saving when it's not used for long time.Isn't it?

Is the VCI on a USB hub? Have you tried connecting it to different USB ports? I know you're believeing it's a problem with the cable, have you tried a different one? Any luck with a repro?

Better cable could help, but if your going to order it from DJTT spend the extra $25 and get the firmware kit along with it.
Kelsey Maylone

So if it's not the firmware what could it be?I'm believeing about power from external source and high quality usb cable because still have the original one which came with vci!

The actual problem is that the either the juggle buttons or Fader FX button will stay lit up, although the controller will still continue to function as normal.

I'm running traktor pro on windows7.I have to try glitchfx tsi alone or first i have to import the normal one and then these.It sounds like multiple midi message problem like you said!

Without a doubt, upgrading the firmware is worth it. This will unlock the fourth FX knob and add a few nice features.

What computer are you using (OS and version)? If you are on a PC you should be using the "Glitch Fix" mapping, as PCs seem to not like multiple rushes of midi data. This could be affecting you too. Even if you are on a Mac, some have found that TSI to be smoother (I use the regular one).

No they are fine like you said in advanced mode.Sometimes everything works fine but something stuck the system and this is sure from the vci.I believe that the problem is somewhere between juggle and echo which i use more.You believe that it could be the firmware?Should i upgrade?
Has any other problems like this?

Thanks for your try to help!
