Yadda yadda yadda... long thread... lots of words...
Does this work, can anyone say its safe to do...
Well done that man (in anticipation of it being kosher)
Grr, I'd do it in a second if I didn't have to have 1.3.0 on hand for some tsi work being requested of me. But that actually brings up a good question: DaveX or DjTT, is there any way to incorporate a boot modifier similar to what 1.3.0 has? (SE owners can currently boot into 1.2 or 1.3 - what I'd really love is if after flashing, we could choose to boot into 1.3.0 OR 1.3.3)

First of all, thanks a lot for doing this, the pitch/jog resolution was the only thing that prevented the vci-100 from being the perfect controller for me.
Also kudos on the double messages for the filter knobs, i do like to use the 4-band xone eq in traktor pro from time to time and because of this i hadn't upgraded to 1.3 yet.
So I upgraded to 1.3.3 yesterday (from 1.2) and everything seems to be working real good!
Just a couple things though:
-The pitch faders, while definitely having 4x resolution, aren't reaching the full range for me. With the pitch range set to 4%, they are going +/-3.7%, 7.4% when set at 8%, and so on. Not too troublesome, but I wanted to know if this is normal.
-In your instructions, you say the jog sensitivity should be divided by 4, but if i do that it will end up quite a lot slower that it originally was with the old firmware. I have to set them to around half sensitivity to act similarly as before. Maybe it has something to do with the way traktor handles that sentivity value, even if the signal has 4x the previous resolution?
In any case, even if I'm not much into scratching either, the finer resolution can definitely be felt.
Thanks again!
When everything is validated, and the future has arrived, and we all scramble to add functionality to our VCI 100s, will the the upgrade guide have any OSX instructions - the software described in current tutorials is for windows only (for running the firmware update)
The software used to flash the VCI is only available for Windows. For what it's worth I did the update running XP in Boot Camp on a MBP.
This is really amazing. Nice job DaveX. Still don't think i'm going to get a vci though.
