Regular VCI 400 Pitch fader issue
Regular VCI 400 Pitch fader issue Posted on: 01.02.2013 by Dayna Auckerman JUst recently purchased a vci 400, after searching the net for hours on end im still struggling to work out how to make the pitch faders move by 0.01bpm as currently they are useless and only jump in big gap for instance 122.00 to 122.46 which is of no use at all as theres no real accurate way to change the temp of a trackany help would be greatly appreciated | |

| Rosie Goeltz 05.04.2013 | Yes that's exactly what I've ended up with, It was setting up the rotary encoder that was flummoxing me!! It's great having that extra fine control over the pitch. |

| Rosie Goeltz 02.04.2013 | Scrap that last question, I've sussed it out, works like a charm |
| Rosie Goeltz 02.04.2013 | Hey groovemixer, Is there any chance you could elaborate on how you managed to map the encoders to fine tune the pitch, I am struggling to get it to work. |
| Mathilda Loeffel 03.02.2013 | I set mine to +-6% which made it a little finer as well. I guess instead of a fine resolution knob you can map a button to toggle the pitch raders range? Not sure if that's doable though. |
| Julian Ispas 02.02.2013 | yup groove mixer is right...the best we can do is 0.07 it is because i believe somewhere i found that vci's 400 tempo faders are not high resolution ones. so it is impossible to get it 0.01 increments (atleast at the moment) so when u mix in with someone else, when ur about .1 or .2 away from there CDJ then thats good enough. you can do it, i do it all the time. add in some effects on the djm, switch the bass, bammm your in. easy. |
| Fady Soliman 01.02.2013 | yeah the best you can get the faders is to about .07. The midi mapping is a bit strange as the fader will give two codes when you map it and if you move the fader too fast when your programming the midi code will map to only one and you wont get the finer setting but something like .12 What I did was map the encoders right next to the tempo faders to control the fine pitch to .01 So I do quick adjusting with the faders then do the fine with the knobs, works great! I do everything by ear old school way, don't even have the bpm's showing, just the way I like it. |
