DJ Kuya on the Vestax VCI-400 with Traktor Pro 2

Here's a short demo of me rockin' the VCI-400. This was part of my Red Bull ThreeStyle Set.

I've taken the standard mapping and added sample triggers to the soft pads below the jogwheels so I didn't have to switch modes to use TPro2's Sample Decks.

men I would love this unit if it only worked with itch... because of the video plugin^^ the twitch has no jog wheels and the ns6 and ns7 are a lot bigger than this^^ also the built quality is better and its much more durable than the traktor s4... plus you can put an innofader in without any problems. mhm^^ daaaamn.

@beatzandwheels Well, it does now work with Serato DJ Intro...it remains to be seen whether Intro will recieve Video capability. My guess would be that Vestax and Serato are working on Itch compatibility - they'd be crazy not to make it happen.

@djkuyaayukjd Hey, I'm a big collector of old original DJ battles. Do you have any rare stuff you'd be interested in selling?

[djkuyaayukjd]

@funkateer17 Hey man, yeah, that's me. And no, I didn't get paid or get any reimbursements for the demo. I did it because I believe in the the product. When it comes to DJ'ing my philosophy is that DJ worth their salt should be able to rock it on any equipment.

And just for completeness, I'm a Product clinician and demo guy for NI in South East Asia so I'm certainly not brand-loyal, and I'm the Marketing Manager at Store DJ so it's my job to know how these things work.

Peace,

Kuya / Arsenio

@djkuyaayukjd Hey, are you the Kuya who used to enter battles back in the '90s? If so, I take it you're being paid to use that contraption? LOL!!!

[djkuyaayukjd]

Thanks man, much appreciated.

To answer your question - I would buy the VCI400 over two CDJ350's simply because you an do so much more with the VCI400 + your DVS of choice than with 2 x CDJ350's and a mixer.

Regards,

Kuya

@blackistheword7 The jog wheels are the same size as those on the VCI 300 and 100.

It definitely is well made, and the feel of those filter knobs is smooth as silk - better than the Kontrol S4 or on the DJM800/900.

Peace,

Kuya
