We are proud to announce the anticipated mini.Translator program and its first patch which allows the VCI-300 to work with programs other than Serato Itch. Even after converting to midi we were able to keep the jog wheels and pitch faders high resolution so they will still be very precise. The best part though is that its free for you to try.
Enter your email bellow and you will receive links to mac and windows versions as well as updates on when the newest patches are available. This is the first beta release and there may be minor bugs, so please report them or post questions here. We are working on a full preset for the VCI-300 and Traktor that includes effects mapping and a matching TKS file.

Installation Guide
After installing the mini.Translator you will need to install the preset. This can be done by dragging the preset into the program.
The pre-set should automatically recognize if your VCI-300 is connected. If you move a control and the blue light illuminates then mini.T is receiving midi from your controller. If nothing lights up then you may need to re-define which midi controller the pre-set should look for. This can be done by right clicking anywhere on the interface and selecting “midi settings”. Make sure the “MIDI IN port” input is set to what the computer has named your VCI-300. This should only need to be done once.
Next your Dj Software should recognize that there is a midi controller called “mini translator virtual output 1” available. This is what you should select as your midi input, NOT the vci-300. The midi ouput however should be set to the vci-300 as shown in the photo bellow.
About mini.Translator
Even though its small and simple to use, mini.Translator packs a big punch. You are essentially getting the entire midi processing engine of Midi Translator Pro, the markets most robust midi engine created by Bomes Software. Those that use Bomes know its a very powerful program but not so easy for the average dj to figure out. So Dj TT and Bomes have teamed up to create mini.T which runs all the same conversions behind the scenes. Just load the preset of your choice, plug in a midi controller and start playing like a pro because we have done all the programing for you.

Hi Ean, Thanks for all the hard work and accomplishments you’ve done for the DJ Community! Is there any way I could get a copy of the mini.T? The subscription list seems to have expired.

Hi all, any news about firmware upgrade?
I’ve already mapped the xponent for traktor but i want to put my hands on a vci300.
Are you sure that there is no key-combination during startup for set the controller in advanced mode????
For example, when i want to use xponent with traktor i have to hold two buttons during the controller startup. If i don’t press them i won’t have midi-out signals.
tried right click doesnt work in Firefox or google chrome
Likewise, I could really do with the link. Thanks
i’ve worked it out to download the preset file you need to right click and save as….. Shwweeet

Hello Ean, I was wondering. Besides a VCI-300, I also own a Faderfox that a use in my setup in Traktor Pro to control de FX and deck C & D.
I've recently purchased an Korg EMX1. I really like it. I would like it that I could ad this to my current setup apart from using it on its own. Is there any way that I can do this by using only the souncard of the VCI?
To connect the faderfox and EMX to my laptop for the midi signals, I use USB to midi adapters. I've allready managed to send the midi clock from Traktor to the EMX, I've tryed to rout the output of the EMX to the input/thru on the back of the VCI and, in Traktor routing input 1-2 from the vestax to channel C in Traktor (is this teh same as deck C by the way?) Now when I hit play on the EMX the input meter shows a signal, but I'm not getting any sound. But when I flip the thru switch on the back of the VCI I do get sound. But the problem then is; I cab't get sound from the other channels and I get static and noises through the EMX when I hit buttons on the VCI.
An other thing I have not yet managed is to get the EMX to play as soon as I hit a play button on the VCI. The kind of sync that does work with Ableton.
You think you could provide me with some pointers on this one? I would immensly appreciate it.
Kind regards.

GO to Virtual Dj's website and download the VCI-300 plugin, you don't need this translator to have it working, if you have version 5.2.1

Got my VCI 300 a few weeks ago. Got the mini translator, but I found that I don’t really need it because I got ableton. You know if you use ableton and itch, it’s the perfect dj setup. I use my axiom 25 and my VCI and it is really fantastic. If you don’t scratch, I don’t see any point in using traktor when you can use ableton. The VCI is exactly what I needed for my sets!

Hey there, I've got my VCI-300 in today after waiting since august and it was totally worth it!!!
But, I don't want to use Itch, I use Traktor (not Pro). I have the latest mini translator and the latest TKS. files from techtools here. But all the cue and loop leds are not working, the play and cue button leds are not working, the line fader leds are not working AND the pitch faders hardly have any response. When I move it from full bottom to full top it only differs 0.1.
Has anyone got a solotion or a TKS. file that has all the functionallity (led's and stuff)
Thanx in advance! 🙂

sorry, my statement above was not very clear- I have edited it for clarity.
I am not sure what they will do with your VCI-300- most likely replace it.
Do we have to understand that the Pitch sliders and Jog Wheel Surfaces doesn’t work without mini translator or doesn’t work at all with Traktor pro?
I brought back my VCI 300 to the dealer today du to the problem “freeze(disable)” the serial N° was one of them.
Someone know what’s they gone do? they fix it? change it?
Thank you
We did some testing with the VCi-300 and confirmed that the following controls will NOT work with Traktor Pro WITHOUT mini translator:
Pitch sliders
Jog Wheel Surfaces
this is the same as in Traktor 3, the vci-300 will show up without mini Translator but those 2 controls will NOT work but because they are high resolution midi.
I am using my VCI and Itch and actually like it, simple and easy to use.
[quote comment="14814"]Hi Martijn,
Did you get the platters to work?? Like pitch up and down (nudge) and cueing like in Itch?[/quote]
With platters you mean the jogs? When i map the pitch/tempo to the jog it works but any function i map to the pitchfader of the vci doesnt work well..
i tried to get it working on pro and on 3.4 wasnt realy hapening…..dose anyone got tks file????
whould be great….
Hi Martijn,
Did you get the platters to work?? Like pitch up and down (nudge) and cueing like in Itch?
Altough got one bug so far without the mini.translator, pitchfader doesnt work well, if i run traktor pro with mini.translator the pitchfader works fine…
To make sure i uninstalled mini.translator and traktor pro works fine with the vci-300 without mini.translator.
If you use traktor 3.XX you will need to use the mini.translator.
Yes, I am confused too..Does this VCI-300 work with Traktor Pro without this patch?
I am a bit confused here ..so does the VCI-300 work or not with Traktor Pro or with Mini Translator and all..seems nothing positive here about it working well..
so how come u dont need mini traslator for pro???
did anyone chack it out????
r there any tks files for it or suporrt????
if there is im geting it now…..
Does mini.translator only work when you start up the program or does it also do something on the background?
In traktor pro i dont select mini.translator but the vci-300 as midi device for the in- and output..
In traktor 3.4 i needed to adjust the midi settings of mini.translator and i needed to select mini.translator as input device.
[quote comment="14798"]No need for mini.translator with pro..[/quote]
why is that? We didn't test it yet but I didn't see support for 14 bit midi in pro

Thanks for the fast answer but where can i found the virtual drivers?
[quote comment="14735"]Hi,
I can't run the mini transalator 0.0.9 beta with my vci 300, there is this error message: 1: Error: MIDI device 'mini.Translator 1 Virtual Out' does not exist
Please plug it in or assign a new device to this alias.
Someone can help please? I've tryed one week to get the right patch! but it's not working!
thanks[/quote]
It sounds like you did not install the virtual drivers on windows. When you install mini T it asks you to install virtual drivers and you need to install all of them. (takes a little while)

How can i scratch in Traktor with the VCI 300???
Got traktor 3.4 up and running pretty good now, but got some sound issues.
Got my monitors speakers connected to my vci-300, also my headphone, but only one speaker is working and the headphone only plays the master sound?
With itch everything works fine…

Hey Ean. I think evrything works fine now although I don´t know exactly which parameters of traktor goes with jog wheel and pictch faders, so it would be useful if u can tell me. Anyway, gotta wait for the .tks you are building, because I think it will be very nice.
Is there a way of assigning the config in a way that looks like ITCH?:
– SCRATCH mode off: Cd. SCRACTH mode on:Vynil. Pushing jog wheel or sliding it from the surrounding.
– Using pitch shift buttons to change the +-6 scale.
I think that system works quite nice in ITCH and it would be great for traktor.
Thanks!
Hi,
New preset is working with mini.translator,but when im in Traktor it doesn't respond to "Midi learn" for setting the controls 🙁 have i missed something?…followed the install step by step…
Thanks
We are sending out an email in a few days with a new version that fixes the problems in .9
there was a problem with how it reads the pre-set.
i have downloaded the files inthe download-link; there is only three file. mac, win and preset; wich vesion?
Can you tell me which version of mini t you are using?
yea man, cant stand itch…
^^^ Have also had that error come up
so iv got the same problam on my mac:
1: Error loading project file:
C:\Documents and Settings\aa\Documenti\mini.Translator\VCI-300_1.bmte
dose some one knows how to solve this one…..cant wait to go on traktor with it…..
1: Error loading project file:
C:Documents and SettingsaaDocumentimini.TranslatorVCI-300_1.bmte
If its easier and u have msn FNTA5Y@hotmail.com
The 300 keeps crashing for some reason… we are not sure if its the computer, error with the decks or something to do with Serato…
If we can get it to work in another program and the decks dont crash they wont need to be sent back..
Did not receive the email?? Tried what u said and it said this:
1:File "VCI-300_1.bmte" is incompatible with the edition of MT
the programs crashes soon after that

its the same price in PHP as it is in ajax, html or flash as far as we know. 🙂 bad server joke. bad.
no really, they are apparently back ordered every where

You might want to try re-installing the latest download we sent via email today and make sure you check the "uninstall virtual driver" option when installing.
I have had a problem with getting the mini. controller to work… everytime i try load the preset into it it comes up with an error message
"1:Error: MIDI device 'mini.Translator 1 Virtual Out" cannot be used:

Maybe I could beg for someone to make a VCI-100 to Torq patch. Someone with: the authoring version/ skills and knowledge/ VCI-100 /Torq care to step up? I love my VCI-100 W/ Traktor but I own Torq as well and would like the two to play together well.
[quote]When you’re scratching using a rotary controller, the actual messages sent by the MIDI device are just the difference between the last position and the current one[/quote]
I would just insert here that this is not the ONLY way a rotary controller works, just the ones you’re working with right now. Rotaries are perfectly capable of sending absolute, relative, or indeed BOTH types of data at once. In fact, I can’t think of a better way for a platter to have both accurate scratching and absolute positioning than to send both types of data at once (this is kind of how timecode works FYI).
But sadly, right now the SOFTWARE is the weak point. Itch scratching will feel MUCH more accurate than Traktor’s right now because Itch was specifically designed to work with partner products like the 300. If everyone making MIDI controllers decided to make things proprietary by forcing the use of a specific software package (like most DVS products), then performance would be better, but at the expense of limiting what the user can do with their hardware. But there needs to be a couple things like Itch out there to prove to other software companies that the performance is possible, and the only thing keeping it from happening is the software.
[quote comment=””]
When you’re scratching using a rotary controller, the actual messages sent by the MIDI device are just the difference between the last position and the current one, biased by 64 (zero = 64, negative numbers are less than 64, positive numbers are greater than 64). The values sent when you move the platter are pretty much all small values: +1, +3, -7. Adding additional resolution to these values will not affect the feel of the platter as it’s not the values that matter, the perky feel comes from the *frequency* at which these updates are sent.[/quote]
Anonymous is right and brings up a very good point. Dont expect the VCi-300 jog wheel to be amazingly better than the VCI-100 when using it with software other than Itch. The reason Itch works so well is because they are not using relative data but gobs of absolute data. we have taken that absolute info and converted it into relative. Th amount of relative data is more than the VCI-100 because its being sent more often but the difference is not as great as you might imagine. Fatlimey might be able to expand on this more than I.

I think there’s a lot of misunderstanding about the difference between high resolution 14-bit and normal 7-bit MIDI controller values.
When you’re scratching using a rotary controller, the actual messages sent by the MIDI device are just the difference between the last position and the current one, biased by 64 (zero = 64, negative numbers are less than 64, positive numbers are greater than 64). The values sent when you move the platter are pretty much all small values: +1, +3, -7. Adding additional resolution to these values will not affect the feel of the platter as it’s not the values that matter, the perky feel comes from the *frequency* at which these updates are sent. A 14-bit NRPN message takes two MIDI messages to send (high and low, 6 bytes) whereas an single ordinary CC message only takes 3 bytes. Clearly, the low res messages can be sent faster.
In the case of the pitch slider, more resolution is a fantastic upgrade, as you have more direct control over the pitch of the record – there are more thousands more positions you can set the pitch slider than just the low res 127 values.
So, be careful what you ask for. I can imagine the designers at Vestax scratching their heads about why anyone would want slow NRPN messages off the scratch plate but, hey, Marketing wants it so we give it to them. MIDI-2 will give us both higher res and faster updates, but that’s a way off.

The post would not be complete without a disapproval from Dj Tos, our resident devils advocate 🙂
we agree, its not an ideal fix but until dj programs build in support for these types of controllers there is no other solution.

After installing it in MAC OS Leopard, I open it and says "This beta version has expired on 1970-02-15" (a long time ago hehe). I click Ok and program crashes on exit.

Oops, thats not good – I will forward this to the developers.
Nice one, I would like to see you make a VCI300 firmware that could possibly make the 300 have "layers" so giving it extra control for programs like Traktor. I hope that Itch will expand a little more rather than a simple hip hop style dj program.
Whenever the full preset for the VCI-300 to work with Traktor is ready, a video of the custom layout being used would be helpful.
Ean, program doesnt starts:

YEEEEEEAAHH! Great work Ean. I was getting a little pissed of itch.
By the way, can you post or send me some temporal .tks for trying it ( just something to try, not the full compatibility one).
Thanks!
Nice Ean, only if I could get my hands on VCI-300 I would be telling you how much this kicks ass!
