VCI 100SE Freezing???
Posted on: 18.08.2008 by Justin Ratliff
My VCI 100SE locks up when I am using it (Traktor no longer responds to it), it happens at any given time and I have to unplug it from the computer then plug it back in to get it to work. I recently upgraded to Traktor 3.4 the Tech Tools v.1.3 tks, the hard drive to 200GB @ 7200rpm and the ram to 2G so the computer should be fast enough, I also tried using different usb cords, anyone else have this sort of problem??????

are your usb ports powered properly?? have you tried any other ones??
mac/pc which OS// any other machines you can try it on.. im very doubtful its the vci itself..
Yes the ports are powered I have a Macbook and run Tiger v.10.4.11 I doubt it's the VCi as well I believe it might be Traktor 3.4. I'll try the power switch trick. Thank You

I've had it happen b4, also. There is another post around here about this.. i believe the consensus then was that it was related to static electricity. i'll have to remember ss714ss's solution next time that happens.

I doubt its the VCI as well, the way to confirm is to connect it to a midi monitor and see if its still sending messages to the computer after a traktor freeze. I imagine its Traktor.

with traktor 3.4 you dont need to unplug your midi if its fails for some reason... just turn it off and back on again.. traktor now supports hot swap.. i havnt had many freezes.. maybe 3/4 but luckily I was able to carry on....
