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):

  • The section in the Top Right section of the controller (formerly "Sampler" section) is now the Loop Recorder. The "Sampler" button will Rec the Loop Recorder and then play it afterwards. Pressing the Sampler button again after having recorded will overdub (re-record) the Loop Recorder. Shift+Sampler button will delete the Recorded Loop. The source of the Loop Recorded is not controlled by the mapping and should be set by you (e.g., main, cue, ext, aux).
  • The "Vol" knob controls the Loop Rec Dry/Wet
  • The "Glitch" knob control the Loop Rec Length
  • The "Len" knob controls overall Master Volume
  • The "Loops" section of the "Control FX" section in the upper right side of the VCI is now the "Sample Deck" section which controls Deck D as a Sample Deck.
  • While in the "Sample Deck" section the knobs will control the volume of each four sample slots of Deck D.
  • If you press the labeled "A" & "B" buttons in the "Sample" section and there is not currently a sample loaded into that slot, it will copy the current loop from Deck A (or a loop based on the current loop length setting) into the corresponding Sample Slot in Deck D and as you let go of the button (wait to see the button LED light up first, it only takes a split second) it should seamlessly pause Deck A and unpause the Sample slot. The same goes for buttons "C" and "D" for Deck B.
  • If a sample slot is occupied, the button LED should be lit to indicate this and the button will then mute/unmute the corresponding sample slot.
  • A sample within a Sample slot can be delete by pressing Shift+Sample slot button
  • If you have a Loop saved in the Loop Recorder, you can move it to a Sample Slot by pressing "Route FX" and then a Sample slot button (while in "Sample Deck" mode). It will move the Loop Recorder into a Sample slot but it will not stop the Loop Recorder from playing or unmute the just loaded Sample slot.
  • If Decks C or D are used as Sample Decks, all of the tempo, pitch bend, scratch, play, cue, eq, filter, loop/2,x2 (alters length of sample), loop 8 (sets sample to original length) and volume controls affect all four sample slots for the corresponding Sample Deck.
  • If Decks C or D are used as Sample Decks, you can utilize "Juggle 1-4" mode to trigger individual Samples within that Sample Deck.
  • All EQ knobs and Gain knobs can now be used in "Soft takeover" mode if you hold Shift while turning the knob
  • Fader FX now only uses FX bank 1 for all Decks. The controls are the same except that FX bank 1 is activated on the currently active two decks (left and right) by pressing the corresponding Jog Wheel or moving the Volume Fader downwards. FX1 can be turned off either deck by moving the corresponding Volume Fader back to the top position.
  • Triggering the FX Presets has changed. You now need to only press the corresponding FX Preset push button to load that FX Preset into FX bank 1. You will still need to push it twice to properly load the presets (once to change effects, twice to change effect parameter rates)


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).

You can layer them on top...

To remove it...

well as an old pro skateboarder that has to remove stickers from boards, as well as tenacious grip tape from delicate fiberglass expensive Turner Summer Ski racing slalom skateboard decks.... as well as stomp pads from snowboards...


I do this..

1. I leave the VCI-100 in the Sun to soften the old glue up.

(too cold...it's Winter time??- Use a hair dryer on medium to soften the glue..NOT HIGH- or the glue gets too goopy and you could damage something)

2. I try to peel as much off in as large pieces as possible (you must pull the old sticker very slowly and steady- pull too hard or try to make it peel too fast and it will tear)- and BIG HINT ...pull the old sticker back upon itself - instead of pulling straight up. I take a pair of needle nose pliers and open them up and then cover each of the metal tips with electrical tape to prevent the possibility of scratching your VCI-100.

Once you get off the big pieces ...

3. Use the goo gone sticker remover kit tool (It's plastic and fantastic at doing it's job) to start the left over pieces and then grab those smaller pieces with the needle nose pliers and slowly "roll up" the sticker onto the pliers..every so often unrolling a bit and clipping it shorter with scissors. This goes very fast. Plastic paint tools are too big and clumsy..they work but it is too easy to slip with them and bend a fader. You can also let your fingernails grow longer for 2 weeks before and go "Wolverine" on it and trim your nails afterwards.

Keep a garbage close by to toss the strips in- if you put them down..a dog or person will track them everywhere.

You should have the sticker off in 5-10 minutes.



4.Then I use the sticker remover fluid and the plastic tool to scrape off the rest of the glue (PITA)- taking care not to let any fall into the faders by putting folded paper napkin inside + scotch tape over the slit.

5. CAVEAT: YOU MAY SKIP THIS STEP. The new Overlay will stick on the old glue just fine.. but if you want it like new... bumpless....
After the sticker is off - you will have some glue left stuck on your VCI-100... I use a blast of "Auto Starter fluid (Petroleum Ether) " - SPRAY ON A COARSE RAG NOT DIRECTLY ON THE VCI-100

DO THIS OUTSIDE,DO THIS OUTSIDE,DO THIS OUTSIDE,DO THIS OUTSIDE,DO THIS OUTSIDE,DO THIS OUTSIDE,DO THIS OUTSIDE,DO THIS OUTSIDE,DO THIS OUTSIDE,DO THIS OUTSIDE, .

- WITHOUT ANY OPEN FLAMES OR PILOT LIGHTS OR EVEN A LIGHT SWITCH NEARBY. IT IS SUPER EXPLOSIVE.. DO NOT DECIDE TO HAVE A "420 BREAK" WHILE DOING THIS. orrrrr BOOOOOOM!

and you might will end like Richard Pryor.

6. To strip off the goo gone residue. You can also hit it with Windex a couple of times and then rubbing alcohol. Or acetone followed by rubbing alcohol.

So 5-10 minutes of work..and you'll have a naked VCI-100 just begging for a new sticker.

THE LAST SOLVENTS ARE TO REMOVE THE GOO GONE WHICH WILL PREVENT A NEW OVERLAY FROM ADHERING WELL.

7. Don't try to save the overlays....I have never gotten them off in one piece. If you do want to reuse them.... You could just remove part of the wax paper in a few key areas.... so you would be able to swap them..

I liked the V3 version myself , and wished I had done that when I applied it as I bought V4 and never got the hang of that one and bought another V3.

But hey....I bought the EG-VCI-400 soon after it came out, and went back to the smaller form factor of the VCI-100 which for me played better....I guess because I like the size... I would like to add a Midi fighter and iPad to it someday- but I like the essentials all packed in close on the VCI-100.

I wonder if a V5 sticker will come out one day.

Maybe someone will "sticky" my sticker removal post..lol.

Well aware, FXBank 2 is already routed to Deck B. Hopefully I can figure this out soon. I have a feeling it's an importing problem.

i was not talking about a specific problem. i just wanted to state that maybe flashflooder or klaemo or both would consider putting more effort into keeping the vci-100 mapping updated and fixed if he or they got paid for it. i would be willing to donate to such cause.

I have the same issue in traktor 2.1.3 with the sample deck sync getting wonky. I really just want to use the sample decks to trigger one-shots from the A-D buttons but that doesn't seem to work either. I have no experience with midi mapping but would this be easy enough to fix even if its just to use them for one-shots?

Yo DJTT, would love to know how to midi map a fader such that it can be used to turn on the third effect (Button 3) when the fader is completely off, as this set up does. I don't have a VCI-100 (I have a Pioneer WeGo) so can't work it out from the TSI file. I can code everything else but this last bit. Any help?
Alverta Linna
11.09.2013
Hey DJTT, I currently use a Pioneer WeGo and I'm trying to midi map code the Fader FX Mode that this TSI file does for the VCI 100. I can pretty much do it, except for the last bit where the fader turns on the Button 3 when the fader hits the bottom (zero point). Can't seem to work out this one. Any tips?

As above i have firmware 1.4 and the 4.1 file for traktor pro 2 and i dont have scratch mode on the jog wheels they stop the record if you touch them but you cant move it back and forth, but they pitch bend.

i would also like the old skool fader fx file but cant seem to find a copy that downloads properly.

help me keep my vci alive PLEASE!!!!

thanks

On the download page of this mapping there is only low resolution controller image and I can't read all the buttons. For example 3.6.4 mapping has high resolution image included in it's package. Can v4 hi res image also be included in it's package? Does anybody have this image and can share it?

When you set up your mapping, did you import it twice? For whatever reason, the first import of the mapping never gets everything set correctly. Try importing a few times and see if the issue is corrected.

Hi, I just have installed the 4.0 cover. Works great!
The onluy thing I can't get to work is: FX Type (3 fx-es) then activating the latest fx. The 1st and second are active when I click B and C but clicking D just turns on the LED but not the FX.

What am I doing wrong here?
