FAQ- How to buy the Black VCI-100 SE
FAQ- How to buy the Black VCI-100 SE During July 2008 Vestax manufactured a limited run of the VCI-100 special edition controllers for Dj TechTools. The controller was black with a custom designed 1.3 firmware mapping that gave users unique control over Traktor 3. The controllers sold out in the 2nd day the store was open and will not be manufactured in that original configuration again. About 3 months ago we started selling black VCI-100's in our webstore that have been updated with firmware version 1.3 and come with our custom VCI-100 overlays installed. There is now a dedicated Midi Mapping page with all information that you need on the VCi-100SE and our publicly available mappings here. | |
| Hannes Deburchgraeve 02.08.2008 | Hello! I've been trying to set up my VCI-100 as close to Ean's SE as possible, even though I don't have the firmware upgrade yet. I'm performing live weekly, so I figured it'd be an easier transition once it's ready. The original post says the Upgrade Package 1 would be available at the end of July. Any word on how to get it? The blog hasn't been updated with any links and I couldn't find it by googling. Thanks for your help! |

| deni boyd 14.07.2008 | To Ean: Just wondering when the DJTT logo contest winners are gonna be getting t-shirts and some of the cool vci software and hardware talked about here?....thanks man. MD |
| Ric Scott 13.07.2008 | hi ean, hi everybody efferalban.. i just add the community today so, happy to join you guys... i just read the past messag,....and learn: no more VCI-100 ED???? i get the vci-100 silver last years in tokyo at the vestax scratch tournement when you (ean) make a demonstration, and i was get crazy about the possibility of it i just arrived to japan and i saw a new version of it was coming out and miss it..... and i was believein maybe get lucky and find it..... any solution for find it here or somewhere??? please tell me yes, i try ebay , but of course nothing (yet) thanks alls |
| tomo tsukagoshi 12.07.2008 | so ean any idea when do you believe a new batch will be out. |
| 11.07.2008 | Some of the "first nine" were so fast to respond that they forgot to check the bank account balance first |
| Ruiz dB 08.07.2008 | I'm a lucky bastard too!!! I got the email the other day and I promptly went to the sperm bank to gather funds!!! ...They took my money... so I'm assuming DJ TT will let me know what's goin' on... |
| Brandon Bagley 05.07.2008 | damn, I'm a lucky bastard! :-D apparently, they put me on a reserve-list someone didn't pay in time for his VCI and I was next in line :-) *extremely happy* |
| Brandon Bagley 28.06.2008 | I've just received a mail from Ean, I'm not one of the 9 (sounds like something out of 'Lord of the Rings' ) so now I'll just have to wait until the other VCI's are gonna get sold on ebay |
| Brandon Bagley 28.06.2008 | yes I have... no mail there, guess I'm not with the lucky few, as expected |
| Riccardo gava 28.06.2008 | Have you checked in your junk box? |
| Brandon Bagley 28.06.2008 | I haven't... |
| Philip Chedid 27.06.2008 | Just wondering if anyone received the e-mail regarding buying the final 9? The suspense is killing me. |
| Brandon Bagley 27.06.2008 | that's maybe the problem: the production is minimal so I don't believe it has a high priority |
| WrthKDs . 27.06.2008 | I kinda second that, it would suck to send it back for a fix... Still wonder why it takes *ages* for such a minimal production run |
| Thomas Beecken 26.06.2008 | As tempting as it is to tell them to hurry up...more importantly I want it done right. Before there was mention of a gift for those of us suffering the delay. Is that secret gift still coming? Can it be increased? Whatever the gift is, maybe Vestax will add to it FASTER SHIPPING based on the wait. Personally, I want a flight case for it but no one seems to chime in on that but me. So I'm having one custom made through Odyssey. It will be the twin sister of this unit. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Odyssey-...66-i1399075.gc I travel (as I'm sure other DJ's in the community do) and I can't risk such a rare piece of gear to suffer any unnecessary damage. I don't have a price quote just yet but I'll keep you posted should anyone be curious. But yeah, if Vestax can RUSH the shipping, then we can forgive. Don't rush the craftsmanship though. Get it right for us Vestax...and throw in a t-shirt...haha! |

| 26.06.2008 | SOrry guys- we are really just waiting on Vestax. As soon as they tell us a delivery date- then we will sell them :-0 email vestax and say- hurry up guys! |
| Brandon Bagley 26.06.2008 | hehe, same here! |
| Jose Iraheta 25.06.2008 | Mmmm...June 25th is nearing its end (on PST) and no word yet about the remaining 10. Haha, has anybody been constantly checking the site/their e-mail every 10 minutes? I know I have... |
| Brandon Bagley 24.06.2008 | seems fair... I'm still hoping, but I'm also afraid I signed up too late |
| Franke NU_Energy_Events 24.06.2008 | I believe there is 10 left and about 50 wanting one! 1st come 1st served seems fairest, but I doubt i'll be in the first 10 as I only signed up 3 weeks ago! Recon Ean should go throught the list in order of who signed up and ask if they still want one - need a yay or nay within 24hrs otherwise he goes to number 11 on the list? |
| Brandon Bagley 24.06.2008 | damn, I thought there were 50 left... |
| Thomas Beecken 23.06.2008 | Well...even though there are only 10 left, I believe what's called a "secret sale" is in order. Here's what I mean...the people that signed up for the newsletter/e-mails I'm sure are expecting to get the news 1st prior to anyone outside of DJTT community
s. What I suggest is sending out an e-mail & giving those that signed up a full 24 hours to respond by purchasing their SE. That will do 2 important things. 1. It will give priority to everyone that did what they could to be in the front of the line for the remaining 10. 2. It will make DJTT have that much more meaning because my guess is that the only DJTT members will have the SE which will make people pay attention to us. Once you go Ebay...you go mainstream. It's not a crime to go mainstream (actually it can be quite profitable when everything is in place). However because there only 10 left, there's no need to open up that Pandora's box when faithful community members have their credit cards ready and are just waiting on the green light. Now should there be any left after that 10...not only can it go on Ebay but jack up the price. Not to be Donald Trump about it but it is an SE for goodness sake. I believe profit is in order for you (Ean) and anyone else associated with creating this work of art. Besides, if there's only 2 left by the time it gets to Ebay, enjoy the perks of assumed demand. If rasising the price for Ebay is not an option and there are any left over, I say let it (them) remain in the DJTT store until they sell. As people are exposed to this gem, the hype and demand will resurge. |
| Brandon Bagley 21.06.2008 | I thought that was just to subscribe to the newsletter I already joined that list a couple of weeks ago, so I hope I'm safe |

| 20.06.2008 | Hi there ean, I am also interested to get the special edition VCI, what's the price per unit and how much will it cost to ship to brunei darussalam? chubbz |
| Brandon Bagley 21.06.2008 | I've been following this site/community
for a couple of months now and I'm also very interested in the VCI 100se a list is maybe a good idea, where can I sign up |
| dj sidetracked 20.06.2008 | Is it possible to maybe make a list, to be surten who will get one and who wont. I'd really like to be the first on the list who would get one for sure No point on putting it on ebay, because there are many, who have been active here on DjTT for month and checking for any updates to get the SE (I know I have for over 2 month now), who deserve it more. Hope it will end fairly for everyone, Volk |

| Jayden Wensing 20.06.2008 | Hello, I'm interested in getting one of the new ones as well but not sure how much is going to set me back. What is or would be the price point for the new units in case I missed it? Thanks JP |

| 17.06.2008 | Hey Ajay, we will be making an announcement shortly about the shipping of the 2nd batch. Stay tuned :-) |
| Roger Gomez 17.06.2008 | Hi Ean, Sent you an email earlier this week, regarding changing the delivery contact of my VCI since I will most likely be overseas when it arrives, can you please confirm this is cool? Can you please also advise when the second batch of 50 VCI-100SEs (in particular mine) is expected to be delivered. Cheers, Ajay Sydney Australia. |
| DJ RED 10.06.2008 | Hi Ean, I'm new here on Techtools and bought a VCI-100 Mixvibes Edition. I was very interested in de VCI-100 after your video's and reports. I also have the Behringer BCD2000 with all the problems that are well known for that unit, so that one goes in the trashcan :-) The VCI-100 Mixvibes Edition was a very good offer here in holland where I live. But I believe your modified SE version seems to be more interesting, so I hope the upgrade package will come very soon and works fine, also for the old firmware version wich one I believe I've got. I don't know how I can check that. For the rest... keep up the good work!!! Kind regards, Gaby |
