Vestax has introduced a new MIDI controller with 90 assignable parameters via USB MIDI and 2 jog wheels built with high quality components which will make easier operations like scratching, pitch bending and scanning. The device has been called Vestax VCI-100.
The main features of the VCI-100 are 1 jog wheel with touch sensitivity per channel, 45mm stroke variable curve generate fader, 1 volume fader per channel and 1 master rotary volume and 60mm high quality fader per channel among others. The crossfaders curves are hardware-adjustable although your software doesn’t have curve control.
The VCI-100 can be powered by an AC adaptor or by USB (AC adaptor is recommended for more stability) and its body is highly durable and compact, and it fits exactly in front of a laptop.
