VCI-100SE v4 Mapping for Traktor Pro 2
VCI-100SE v4 Mapping for Traktor Pro 2 Posted on: 09.08.2011 by Jodi Lacerra After long anticipation, the initial version of the VCI-100SE v4.0 mapping for Traktor Pro 2 is here. Please note that this mapping has been designed to utilize Traktor Pro 2 functions and the mapping will not work with earlier Traktor versions.The core of the mapping shares a lot of similarities to the v3.6.4 VCI-100 mapping; however, there are a number of key changes as follows (I am going to reference things based on the current overlay text):
There are some other small changes within the mapping, but those listed above are all of the major changes. This is an initial release of DJTT's new Traktor Pro 2 mapping for the VCI-100SE, updates to follow if necessary. Please use this thread if you believe you found a bug or have questions about the mapping's functionality. I hope to post a visual layout soon, but for now the text above will have to do. Thanks to everyone for your patience in getting this mapping out and I appreciate everyone's support along the way. EDIT: In v4.1, a few minor bugs and LED issues were fixed. Also, Shift+the Jog wheel no longer sets Cue Points on the fly. Now, Shift+Jog turn will seek through a track (with scratch on or off). | |
Noe Hesprich 17.12.2011 | Is this only for the FW 1.4 VCI? Nothing works when I import this into my traktor pro 2 other than the LED lights... |
Laquita Cofsky 16.12.2011 | Big respect for Flashflooder and Klaemo, and anyone else who contributed to the mapping. Donating your time to help keep this thing alive is a pretty noble task in my book. Cheers fellas |
Yuko Armacost 15.12.2011 | Why isn't this on the official Midi Maps page as a beta? http://www.djranking s.com/midi-map/ |

Della Kalender 06.12.2011 | Hey has anyone had an issue where the led behavior for certain buttons is not working? My faderfx mode button stays green all the time and doesn't indicate if it's enabled or not. This also happens with the blue led for the sync buttons occasionally. Also is the red light next to the fx presets supposed to change? Mine stays on no. 3 all the time. Using 1.4 fw. newest version of tp2 and a mf +x1. Thanks |

I did not have access to a VCI with FW older than 1.4 while recreating this mapping from scratch and would not able to test older firmware VCI's for bugs/issues (and some of the issues with older FW were only solved with the FW 1.4 upgrade). 3. Some of the LEDs on FW 1.3 and earlier (mainly the bottom 4 buttons on each deck) will not react to Midi out commands and thus there could be confusion with LED feedback on a FW 1.3 VCI-100. 4. There are stable and popular mappings for FW 1.3 VCI's (the latest being v3.6.4) that also work with FW 1.2 VCI's. 5. I assumed if someone was willing to upgrade to Traktor Pro 2 (which the v4 mapping requires), they would also be willing to upgrade their VCI's firmware to FW 1.4. Just to let people know, this is by no means a defensive rant, so please don't take it as that. I am simply explaining my reasoning and want people to understand why upgrading to FW 1.4 is worthwhile should you continue to use your VCI-100. If there is enough demand I am still willing to put the FW 1.3 commands back in this mapping when I have extra time, there will just be a disclaimer that the mapping has been designed and primarily tested using FW 1.4. Thanks guys/gals for understanding! |

You only need to do this once after loading Traktor and won't need to do it again. Hope this helps. |

I don't believe that DJTT owes me continued support for free forever just because I bought a controller years ago... |

Glynis Mangona 03.12.2011 | is anyone else having their VCI-100 freeze while using Fader FX? I just upgraded to Traktor Pro 2 last evening and tried it out with this mapping. I had the same issue before the upgrade and was hoping this would fix it. Vista FW 1.4 Traktor Pro 2 Anyone found a fix? |
Pasty Erben 02.12.2011 | Updated to the latest version of traktor and it does seem to be quite buggy compared to the previous version. That aside, everything seems to be working correctly except my pitch faders. The faders work but once you move em they jump to a high range and wont center unless you hold shift and move the fader. I've noticed this fader behavior with previous mappings and Im beginning to believe that maybe the vci didn't accept the firmware correctly. My pitch faders only worked properly on the first mapping once the firm was reversed engineered and the HD firm was released. Every mapping after that, my pitch faders operated incorrectly. |

Lauretta Ehrhorn 23.11.2011 | Thanks for your reply Chris. Breaking the chain is probably not the the best phrase. Basically the presets won't load as expected. Getting an awful combination on the the 4 preset buttons currently. Double big imported countless times now but no success. The biggest issue for me was time code failing on the right deck, albeit intermittently. Has happened a couple of times at home and once at a gig whereby it refused to calibrate at all. It stayed in waiting despite switching of cables, carts, vinyl etc. No probs in 2.0.3 and according to the community s i'm not the only user with this issue. There are a host of other bugs which wouldn't have been a deal breaker but the time code is. 2.0.3 currently set up on a different user. Desperate for 2.1.2 as the new time code has arrived but will only work from 2.1.1. |
Lizabeth Peight 23.11.2011 | Hey fella, any news on the overlay? |

I am also curious what bugs you were experiencing with 2.1.1 that made it unusable to the point of downgrading to 2.0.3 if you want to share. |
Lauretta Ehrhorn 18.11.2011 | Hi all, Been using DJTT VCI maps for some years and never had a problem breaking the chain for fx when importing. Always big import out after new tsi added and double load with big import in. I can't get this fx chain to break whatsoever. Very strange as I had no issue with 4.0. Anyone had a problem? Is there something i'm missing? Have the presets been altered in this mapping? May have to go back to 4.0 and live with the bugs as i can't resolve this. Any suggestions? I'm using 1.4 fw with Traktor 2.0.3 on Mac. 2.1.1 too broken imo. |
Jodi Lacerra 17.11.2011 | People seem to be continually getting confused with whether their VCI-100 is FW 1.4 or an older FW version. Personally, I recommend that everyone upgrades to FW 1.4 as the higher resolution pitch faders and jog wheels have a lot of benefit. Additionally, FW 1.4 fixed a lot of LEDs to allow control via Midi. However, I will try to add back in the old jog wheel midi commands so people with FW 1.3 can use this new mapping without scratch issues. Not sure exactly when I'll have time to do this but hopefully within a week or so. |

Aprizal Rustarmadi 16.11.2011 | hey im using Klaemo's version because i like being able to apply effects to each deck independently but i believe ive found a bug id like to confirm: in fader fx mode touching the right jog wheel should immediately engage fx unit 2 for deck b. (touching the platter of the left deck while in fader fx mode, turns on fx unit 1 for deck a) but touching the platter of the right deck while fader fx mode does not turn on effect unit 2......effect unit 2 is turned on when REMOVING my finger from the platter. do you get this behavior? thanks by the way for sharing this version with me! |

Oh yeah, I wanted to point that out btw, you can't fader fx both track at the same time with the new version, kinda is a problem on big buildups imo.. :eek:

Jog seek works though, good work on that as well as the hotcue tap thingy... I imported Klaemo's fix on the top of it and it works pretty well though (dunno if it its actually combined or if if it's just the original one...) but I prefered the old fx assignation anyways.

Oretha Vanduyne 10.11.2011 | I'm going back to 3.6.4. Playing around with a couple of other people made it all too clear that the v4 mapping isn't for me right now. On my rig the LEDs on the Loop, Scratch, FaderFX and Juggle buttons kept on burning even though I was switching them on and off multiple times. No fun showing off your digital gear to people used to Vinyl and CDJs when there's still a lot of bugs around (at least with my self-modded -100). |
