Any update on 1.4 fw release? Posted on: 28.01.2009 by DjMAX MONTANA Hi Ean, is there any news on the 1.4 f/w release? either features to look for and/or a ROUGH release date? Thanks.
Nestor Witkowsky 10.09.2009	Originally Posted by lethal_pizzle At 120bpm, my pitch faders move in 0.11 increments or so. I've used two buttons above the jog wheels on each deck to do BPM nudges, the minimum I can get is 0.03 at 120bpm, which is workable, about the same as the wow and flutter on decks but more predictable. Yeah, I've found that the increments are ~0.125, but the display only has one decimal of precision, which is absolutely ridiculous. I basically get it as close as I can, then start nudging (but I'm using the mouse, as I've not remapped anything). It's liveable, but not desirable.
Marshall Aby 10.09.2009	Originally Posted by kiss-o-matic Hmm... bummer. Would any kind soul care to expand on whether or not there's a workaround to .1% precision on the pitch sliders? This is really annoying... it seems there should be a software solution at least on Traktor's side, but the +/- buttons give me like +.5 at minimum. I've looked around a bit (even asked on NI's community s) but I'm finished with my work day and have nothing better to do.. sort of. At 120bpm, my pitch faders move in 0.11 increments or so.

Xavier Emanuels 16.06.2009	Originally Posted by midifidler Though I can understand them not wanting to detract from the appeal of other current and future products by providing hi res support for the VCI (I was supprised by the possiblity in the first place) they could at least fix the FX button and LED issues. I agree, id like to know what their motives behind this is.

Leota Saniuk 18.08.2009	with the upcoming TP 1.2 release it seems like it would be kind of cool to be able to turn the vci into 2 virtual controllers to be able to leverage the device target feature. maybe something to believe about for a new firmware?
Vernon Positano 18.08.2009	So basically, those of us on windows, who have the LED / midi out freeze issue are stuffed unless traktor's next update finds a work around ?
DjMAX MONTANA 16.06.2009	I'm bummed. Nice controller, but it has these little glitches. I was hoping 1.4 would solve them.... I'm hoping some kind soul will address it (for worldwide fame/notoriety)
Adolf Hit 16.06.2009	I hope thats the case!
AllainRauen AyaRauen 17.06.2009	Yeah- I also believe 14bit is the sticky point. Ean is going to try and get one that fixes the other remaining problems without 14 bit.

Florence Alch 15.06.2009	I believe this is a wind up and it will be released next week!
Hertha Fang 15.06.2009	Quality of Day= Quality of Day -1
Twyla Tylinski 15.06.2009	I was really looking forward to 1.4 firmware and this is a sad day indeed for the VCI-100. I for one was looking forward to 14-bit midi especially with the jog wheels (as I was hoping not to have to purchase a VCI-300 for this aspect). Hopefully someone with programming skills will save the day.
Petra Georgianna 15.06.2009	maybe the amazing team or person behind JJOS can help with a firmware update. http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/
Xavier Emanuels 15.06.2009	Donation schemes yeild next to nothing - so a donation pool would hardly be attractive to anyone
Reece Murray 15.06.2009	Ouch. It never made a lot of sense to me that Vestax would be willing to support 14-bit midi on the vci-100, seeing as how they would be creating a product that would compete directly with their own more expensive vci-300. I guess I was just dreaming the spirit of experimentation would drive this idea into reality. Ean- Any thoughts on a 1.4 firmware that would be all the good ideas sans 14-bit support? (I would love to get those filter knobs under control)
Dj Gjaka 15.06.2009	Noooooooo!!..... Major disappointment! Is there not some hero that will reveal himself now to do the deed of reverse engineering??? Ean, what about some kind of donation scheme to create an incentive for an inventive soul to come on board to do the programming work??
DJ Pablo 15.06.2009	Sorry to hear that! This is really bad news.
Leota Saniuk 15.06.2009	bummer .. i guess they are also not interested in open sourcing their firmware? if they want to talk to someone experienced in open source and leveraging open source communities for the benefit of a commercial enterprise, feel free to direct them towards me. i wrote my thesis at the university on exactly this topic and i am currently managing the upcoming 5.3 version of PHP.
MadMan Ajms 15.06.2009	I kind of figured that. I believe the 100 will soon be replaced by the VCI-400.
14.06.2009	Hey Folks, I have the official word on the fabled 1.4 firmware release. I don't believe its going to end up happening after all unless someone comes up with a way to reverse engineer the firmware and create one ourselves. it looks like Vestax is unlikely to support 14bit midi on the vci-100 in the near future.
Kayhan Polat 04.06.2009	any more info on this?
DjMAX MONTANA 17.03.2009	Any news on the release of new firmware? Any response from Vestax? Itching to see what it's gonna do.
Adolf Hit 24.02.2009	Does the translator support hi resolution midi yet?
MadMan Ajms 24.02.2009	I do not believe there should be any big rush for 1.4, 14 bit bit midi in Traktor is nothing like it is in Itch. I have a VCI-300 and the pitch seems no better than with midi.trans
alice roy 23.02.2009	Hey Bentosan, with the poor implementation of the 14bit u mentioned before, do u believe the pitch faders of the VCI 100 will have a better resolution than they currently do? (fingers crossed for 0.02%)
MadMan Ajms 16.02.2009	Thanks..I was believeing of that..Well, I do not want to sidetrack this thread so will maybe post elsewhere on this.
Adolf Hit 16.02.2009	I cant give you a part number but if you measure them up you will find a replacement on mouser.
MadMan Ajms 16.02.2009	Any way to change the VCI 100 pitch sliders to one's without an indent?
DJ Pablo 16.02.2009	Originally Posted by 4nT1 thankyou so much - this has made my day and made my vci-100 se perfect again!! You're welcome!
Adil Laresh 15.02.2009	Originally Posted by Anthony More I added one volumefader in my mod. I can highly recommend this one;PTE60-151B-103B2 from Bourns. It has the same lever as the vestax'.(lever end style 'B') and all specs are similar.(mounting holes) http://nl.mouser.com/Search/ProductD...E60-151B-103B2 thankyou so much - this has made my day and made my vci-100 se perfect again!!
DJ Pablo 15.02.2009	Originally Posted by 4nT1 sounds awesome indeed.. is there any hope of ordering replacement volume faders.. one of mine is slightly broken and freaks out every now and then.. its not a huge issue since I use the mixer for the volume but would like to use them for effects and what not... great news on the firmware,, hopefully there can be another lot of upgrade kits created....

DjMAX MONTANA 14.02.2009	Originally Posted by eangolde I have finalized the 1.4 specs now, including removing most of the double functions and adding some more fixes. I will forward that and then hopefully we will get it back within a short period of time. Thanks, Ean! Looking forward to it.
team DonX 14.02.2009	Originally Posted by eangolde I have finalized the 1.4 specs now, including removing most of the double functions... Why? I use double functions!!! Example: filter knob, turn left to select fx chained mode and control dry/wet chained, turn right to select fx advanced mode and control dry/wet advanced... Is it possible to have 2 versions? One with double functions and one without...??? PLEASE...
