  • On step 8 you said "remove this cable harness temporaly" then video changes and its plugged in, what is the purpose of that step? im confused.

  • it should be removed the entire time. I didnt want to re-shoot the rest of the video.

  • What doesn this firmware upgrade actually do?

    Does it just allow for it to have the same mapping as the VCI-100SE?

    and is it neccesary to do the upgrade if i want to have the SE mapping?

    And finally, will the VCI-100s in the stores get this update done in the factory if theyre made after a certain date?

  • The 1.3 firmware fixes a few bugs on the 1.2 where buttons send out the same messages. It also adds some functions to buttons and faders.

    Its not necessary to have 1.3 in order to use the SE mapping but it is optimal.

    no VCI-100's will ever be sold out of the box with this firmware. Its a custom improvement that is exclusive to Dj TechTools

  • What are the chances of screwing up?

  • very low- if you fail, then nothing happens and if you succeed then you get the new firmware

  • Great Work, it works fine! VCI 100 => 1.4

  • The firmware is great and for anyone whos on the fence on whether its worth it, i can safely say it is :).

  • @InsertSilman nvm, i found the serial port on my computer, it is on the back of the case

  • you said on step 9 to use serial to serial instead of serial to usb, where do i plug the other serial port into my computer?

  • @iwag610 i just went out and bought a serial to serial cable then went home and realized i have no serial port...wtf?

  • two versions of the software? run basic? you run right through that real quick...only one version here...

  • this is really a terrible video..nothing like what i am looking at here...there is a window you skip that says if i do the settings wrong it will damage my equipment! I think an updated video that doesn't skip steps that is done on the current windows os using the current firmware...nightmare

  • So what is the solution if we have a mac and we want to update our firmware...

    I'm planning on tricking out my vci but I want to know how to get the SE firmware first
