3. Operations
1) Check if the software is installed to the computer and OS normally, and is fully functional.
2) Check if the VCI-100 and computer is connected normally.
3) Check that the software is set to operate with the VCI-100. Open the software's control panel
and check that the software is set to receive MIDI data from the VCI-100.
4) Check that the VCI-100 and computer is connected and then start up the software to perform
settings with the VCI-100. The software may not recognize the VCI-100 if it is connected to the
computer after the software has started.
5) Operations after the system recovering from power saving mode is not guaranteed.
Power save settings are required to be set OFF.
Many DJ software products(Native Instruments TRAKTOR, M-AUDIO torq, Abeleton Live6, MixVibes)
come with a MIDI LEARN function. This function is used to assign switches, knobs and faders of the
VCI-100 as controls for parameters of the software.
The VCI-100 can control all software that has this function.
The MIDI LEARN setting for each software is different; please refer to each software's manual for
further instructions.
The MIDI CC data created with the knobs, faders and switches can be manually set with the soft
ware, if the software does not support the MIDI LEARN function. Please refer to the software's manual
for further instructions.
Certain software does not have MIDI OUT functions. If so, functions of the software cannot be
assigned to the VCI-100. Please be aware that the Jog wheel of the VCI-100 sends a high-resolution
pulse for accurate control but does not operate higher than the receiving software's resolution settings.
(Ex. The play KEY LED's off signal of TRAKTOR 3.0 is not sent to the VCI-100, which leaves the play
key LED of the VCI-100 turned ON even if the deck on the screen has stopped. On the other hand,
TRAKTOR 3.2 has MIDI out functions and the operations in the screen will match with the VCI-100's
LEDs.)
