Vestax has announced the new
VCI-100 DJ MIDI controller. USB based and featuring two jog wheels with
sensor and control technology from their
turntables, Vestax say that the VCI-100 provides professional DJs and Producers with the
‘feel’ of hardware mixing in the software realm.
Vestax believe that they have designed the only control surface that
truly serves the Professional DJ/Producer's real time mixing needs. They say that the
VCI-100 provides features that blur the line between hardware mixing and
software control. The chassis is roughly the size of a standard Laptop,
thin but highly durable, compact, and convenient for transportation.
Here’s the rest of what they have to say in their own words…
The key to any professional DJ set up is the quality and feel of the
"platters". The JOG wheel controls on the VCI-100 are constructed with
high resolution pulse sensors, touch sensors, and acrylic platter
mechanisms. With this combination, operations such as pitch bending,
scanning and scratching can be performed with speed and accuracy. 66
software parameters are assignable to the VCI-100's control section via
USB MIDI IN/OUT.
The crossfader curve is adjustable to the user's preference and the
fader movement resistance is calculated on the fly by the VCI-100's CPU
as the data is streamed to the software, therefore, the crossfader curve
is customizable regardless if that feature is available in a particular
software package.
DJs can get up and running immediately with the included Traktor LE from
Native Instruments and Vestax has created exclusive control
assignment files that provide seamless and intuitive control of the
software. The VCI-100 is compatible with all software that
allows MIDI control assignment and is plug & play with Apple and Windows
computers. Example MIDI control assignment files for the popular DJ
software packages will be available at the Vestax website.
