VCI-100SE TSI Beta 1_6 Feedback
Posted on: 22.01.2009 by
We are getting very close to a final TSI for Traktor Pro and the VCI-100. After the next version we will create some new overlays- so get your feedback, requests and ideas in now.

To get this TSI sign up for the BETA list:
http://djranking s.list-manage.com/s...&id=2ab1e09f34

Here is a list of the new features:

Deck C is now a performance FX section for slots one and two so no scrolling is needed.

  • * The knobs work the same way as in previous versions of the TSi and as labeled on the overlay
  • * fx slot one on the left and fx slot 2 on the right
  • * wet dry control on the left knob and one super knob that controls 2 FX parameters on the right knob
  • * underneath the FX parameter you can quickly punch both FX in or out with the button
  • * The button under mix/frz will work as a fx preset loading in the future but will require some custom firmware upgrades for it to work as desired. right now it has no function

Filter A and B buttons are now sampler enable buttons.

  • * These enable a beatmasher in chained or advanced fx mode and grab a 4 count loop of the currently effected deck.
  • * This is a new concept I will be introducing in the coming weeks through some demonstration videos. its for kid byond style layering.
  • deck C and fader FX buttons are now for switching between advanced and grouped fx for each of the 2 slots.
  • * the LEDS do not display that status though because this will again require a firmware update.

Deck C/D juggle mode

* turn on deck C and juggle and now you can cue point juggle on C and D!

Soft Take Over on the deck volumes is removed
SYNC has been changed to toggle on all decks

I had a look through the Midi Mapping and can't figure out whats going on with that!:eek:

Also the Headphone/Master mix knob seems to be inverted i.e. when turned all the way to the left you hear only the master out and vice versa for headphone cue. It seems to me as though this should be the opposite way around, but whether this is intentional or not I don't know.

And lastly, as mentioned before, when in fader fx mode the volume fader only controls dry/wet, the jog controls day/wet again and activates the effect while the pitch fader controls parameter 3 or effect 1, depending on which type of fx is in use (chained/advanced)

Apart from this everything works seamlessly so any help to resolve these issues would be great!
maybe we need 1.3 firmware?

So for this overlay I am looking into new inks, new materials and perfecting the pro mapping (new update coming soon) so realistically the overlay is about 5 weeks out. The old one IS removable and wont leave a residue so I recommend you put that one on there and take it off when its time.
Thanks for the heads up! I'm lookin forward to the new overlays will the new firmware be available at the same time or will that be abit of a wait? I'd love to upgrade to 1.3 when the kit is back in, but I'd rather not take the vci apart for the second time if 1.4 was released a few weeks after.

How about this, to access preset cues 5 to 8, if we're in juggling mode (using the top right knob) if we press the juggling button (next to that knob) it sets a modifier and makes current 1-4 cues map to 5-8... gonna work on this.. mouahahhHHAh

Added a seek position (to the deck) in order to brows through the song quickly. While press/hold the drop cue button use the jog wheel. (you need to stop the jog wheel before releasing the drop cue button other wise it will continue to seek. Also need to make sure you don't hit the jog wheel when dropping a cue it will go into a seek mode) I believe that this addition does not interfere with any other functions on this tsi . Using Ean's original beta 1.6, Tpro 1.02 , nothing else changed.
Any one test this?

Hey guys saw someone asking for the ability to browse trees, so I came up with a little something, just linking to it here in case you don't see it!

It's not 1.3 tested but I run 1.2 and it works smoothly.

Been looking at the Midi mappings for like 30 minutes, this is insane.

I am curious if the update from NI will affect Eans TSI. If so does this mean it will be release after the NI update.

Loving the TSI update one of the bests that you have done. The only thing that makes it hard to apply the effects is when you switch between A and B the knobs will position them selfs to the current physical position of the knob. Is there a way that can be improve? I know I dont have a solution but im believeing haha

Being using this TSI for about 2 weeks. Very natural & enjoyable.

2 minor gripes:
IS this just a 1.2 fware issue or is it not possible to make the "deck c" button a "deck b" button in "deck c performance mode"? ie. hold it, do your deck a/b operation and come back to c/d

Also, why was the soft takeover removed? was it causing problems or is this a personal pref?

cheers & looking forward to those (white?) overlays!

You dont have to remove the old overlay before putting on a new overlay. They are designed to just go on top of each other

I can confirm all the above Tpro 1.02, OSX 10.5 deck copy/play works only with both items unchecked while both decks have to be in playing mode. This is in my opinion have to be fixed by NI in order to work the way it should. It did work in T3 with the "load only to stopped deck" checked. This is a safe guard that is a must for live situation.

the 1.6 is amazing! I have receive my VCI-100 custom arcade edition 6 hours prior my gig and I did great! Everything is perfect!
I love it and i will never going back to vinyls even If I use to be an Vinyls Junky for 8 years! Digital Rock and it's fun!!!

Has anyone thought of a way to press a button on the 100se or a hotkey and disable the midi out on the volume faders and EQ's? They could then be readjusted to get them closer to where they won't jump when switching between A/B and C/D.

I am on OS X but would also be curios if and how this can be done with Bome's Midi Translator. (Lovin' 1.6 by the way)

interesting.

i'm still on fw 1.1, just purchased an overlay - is there a particular tsi file i may be able to use? i took all the deck c and deck d stuff out of 1.6 but find it still isn't really to my liking.

Yes- they will both be back in stock at the same time :0

If we can fix this I believe this tsi is near perfect.
this question has finally been resolved here:

and its not a TSI problem but a traktor config thing (as suspected)
