As a result of this video and my review of the unit I was not asked to pay for the controller (thank god) but instead got invited to meet with the president of Vestax in LA.

I created a arcade hack of my review unit (gasp!) to improve the button performance of the VCi-100. Vestax responds by releasing firmware version 1.2 which fixed the “jog wheel ramp up issue”. In my original Remix magazine review of the VCi-100, I pointed out some deficiencies with the unit including a scratching issue and at the same time SkratchWorx posted the video above demonstrating the jog wheel lag problem. The Controller ships with firmware version 1.1. It marked the first truly serious dj controller on the market and paved the way for broader acceptance of controllers in djing.

Dj TechTools comes back with something cooler. A member of the Dj TechTools community has reverse engineered the VCI-100 firmware to produce a brand new 1.4 version that adds a number of new features and bug fixes including high resolution jog wheels and pitch faders.
