My interpretation of the VCI-400

[LittleFranky]

Hey out there,
recently I managed to finish my first traktor mapping for the VCI-400. Did it because i wasn't happy with the decent mappings I found.

I got a lot of expressions from Ean Golden and his VCI-400 Special Edition. Furthermore I added ideas from a guy called "MRBedroomDJ" on Youtube. His Videos really inspired my work.

Generals:
-normal deck control on deck a&b (kind of self-explanatory)
-mapped the main headphone button to fullsceen mode
-adapted the cool echo support from "Tonal Desire" (if u need help check out his description on traktorbible.com)
-added led support for most buttons
-added beatjumps "mode 1"(8 counts) on each bottom row (glowing redon the edge of the controller)
-added sample deck support on "mode 2"
-added loop jumps on "mode 3" (4 buttons)

-managed to get full 4fx support on traktor pro 2
-you can switch to Decks C&D to enter the EFFECT SECTION
-here you can either select the SINGLE FX unit up top or the GROUP FX by clicking the VINYL BUTTON

-the GROUP SECTION is being controlled by the belonging jogwheel (try out you will see the connection of the three parameters just like in some of ean goldens mappings)
-to select one of four premapped effect combinations choose from one of the (glowing) "cue"buttons on each side
-activation of the effects by putting pressure onto the jogwheel (make sure to have at least a decent amount of sensitivity set to the wheel upon pushing down)

-the SINGLE SECTION is being controlled by the "cue"buttons below the ones of the group section
-here i premapped some effects to the bottom row
-the pitch fader acts as "3 in one module". it manages both the amount of the first parameter as well as the dry/wet encoder and on top of that switches the effect on

I will add the full description as soon as i can to share my points with you.

Hey guys

after some time I nearly finished my new version of the mapping - improved a lot and changed some basics.


VCI-400 Mapping by LittleFranky (vers 1.1).zip

I'd be really glad to hear what you think about my mapping. criticism is always a way to improve. seriously my mapping can't face ean's one on his version of the vci-400 but it works fine for me so far.

Welcome to DJTT forums LittleFranky! I'm MrBedroomDJ on YouTube.

Happy to see some one getting something from my little videos!!!

Mapping is tedious, but rewarding. I think you will find that you will always be revising and changing parts of your mapping over time.

Cheers

Ah thank you a lot MrBedroomDJ
I really appreciate your work all around traktor! keep going

Now to my newest updates!

VERSION 1.2 includes:

some general bugfixes:
-e.g. some led adjustments
-some problems with hotcue buttons
-& further things not to mention here

general workover


vci 400 now fully supports SAMPLE DECKS:

-mid "mode" of the 6 buttons at the bottom now switches visual deck control to sample decks c&d
-deck c & d "gain,hi-,mid-" and "low" knobs now adjust the volume of the belonging sample decks ("1,2,3,4")

-rightern "mode" now activates cues 2,3,4,5 instead of the loop jumps (led support)

-updated rightern group fx preset to "peakfilter, delay, n/a" because the old preset was kind of unfortunately chosen

Hey folks,
today i am glad to show you my new version of the vci mapping (1.3). Full description below



GENERALS IN 1.0:

-NORMAL DECK CONTROL on deck A&B
-KILL FUNCTION on high-mid-low as well as filter below CUE DECKS
-BROWSE through tracks and folders by holding down the shift button and moving jogwheel or the browse encoder
-mapped the main headphone button to FULLSCREEN MODE
-adapted the cool ECHO SUPPORT from "Tonal Desire"
->press leftern encoder to activate the freeze mode then you can adjust the lenght by moving
-embedded LED SUPPORT for most buttons
-added beatjumps "MODE 1"(8 counts) on each bottom row (glowing red on the edge of the controller)
-added sample deck support on "MODE 2"
-added loop jumps on "MODE 3" (4 buttons)

managed to get FULL 4-FX SUPPORT on traktor pro 2
switch to Decks C&D to enter the EFFECT SECTION:

-the GROUP SECTION is being controlled by the belonging jogwheel (try out you will see the connection of the three parameters just like in some of ean goldens mappings)
-to select one of the FOUR PREMAPPED EFFECT COMBINATIONS choose from one of the (glowing) "cue" buttons on each side
-activate the effects by putting pressure onto the jogwheel (make sure to have at least a decent amount of sensitivity set to the wheel upon pushing down)
-the SINGLE SECTION is being controlled by the "cue" buttons below the ones of the group section


UPDATE TO VERSION 1.1!
GENERALS:

improved LED SUPPORT
-now "play", and both "back & forth" buttons indicate BEAT PHASE MONITOR (kinda liked this to beatmatch without the sync button ;D)
-TRACK-END WARNING embedded (buttons between cue and "forth" now light up if a track is going to end soon)
-RECORD BUTTOn in the upper left (the one above the pitch fader) will also light up on recording (press again to end record)
-equal button on deck b will now show the ADVANCED PANEL
-the one above the record button still affects the "LOOP ACTIVATION MODE" on each deck

FX MODE CHANGES IN 1.1:

-recalibrated the acceleration/rotation value on the upper group effects (you will now have a longer range of the basic 4 presets to really be able to dig into some values)
-embedded some BEATSLICER BUTTONS (idea from "MRBedroomDJ") to cue points 5-8 (really fun to play with just try )
-REMOVED THE VINYL "FX-PANEL MODE BUTTON"(effects will now themselfes change to the right fx-panel mode)
NOTE HERE: the first push will SET the fx-panel, the second will ACTIVATE the effect
-REMOVED THE PITCH BEND FX CAPABILITY and changed it to the NORMAL TEMPO BEND(instead you now have access to the deck "c-&d volume faders" to ADJUST FX)
-embedded the LOOP CONTROL ENCODER to "fx mode"
-added new features to the small buttons below the cue's to control TTFX (leftern buttons here load presets, rightern ones activate the "fx buttons 1 & 2"

I really like to play around with the 75% TTFX (you can easily chop-up the beat by using the "c&d fx-faders" and right away pull it back to crush into the mix)


UPDATE TO VERSION 1.2!
GENERALS:
-e.g. some LED ADJUSTMENTS
-some PROBLEMS WITH HOTCUE BUTTONS
-& further things i am too lazy to mention here
VCI-400 now fully supports SAMPLE DECKS:
-mid "mode" of the 6 buttons at the bottom now SWITCHES VISUAL DECK CONTROL to sample decks c&d
-deck c & d "gain,hi-,mid-" and "low" knobs now ADJUST THE VOLUME of the belonging SAMPLE DECKS to fade-in or out


UPDATE TO VERSION 1.3!
GENERALS:

-UPDATET 3 PARAMETERS of GROUP-JOG-FX & DRY/WET:
->now parameters switch back to 0-STATE if tension to the wheel is released
(to embedd another of Ean's brilliant ideas ;D)
-introducing the NEW WAY TO LOAD SAMPLES
->toggle deck C&D HEADPHONE BUTTON (LED will light up)
it will light up as you're now in LOAD MODE
-press one of the sample deck buttons to load a sample
-push HP-BUTTON again to LEAVE LOAD MODE

-access to FX CONTROL VISUALS upon pushing any button in fx mode
-access to BROADCAST & RECORD SECTION visualized (broadcast function now on former "advanced panel mode" button)
-returning back to DECK A&B will hide the effect section
-FX ADJUSTMENTS:

-in the BEATSLICE ROW (effect will now grow tension from one button to another in the destination from left to right)
-FX BUTTONS (the ones below the filter knobs) on section c & d now:
-ensure an easy way to enter or leave SNAP & QUANT MODE (section c)
-show or hide control values and advanced panel mode (section d)
