Correct

Could it be added as club kit for DVS support I wonder?

How when it needs new firmware! And vestax went ages ago now. Plus its an old controller. It's done move on...

"The Vestax VCI-380 and VCI-400 require firmware updates from before support can be developed - when these are available we can add (DVS) support in Serato DJ."

serato.com

The club Kit is simply SDJ Upgrade combined with DVS expansion. The DVS expansion is not possible without the firmware update from Vestax. Vestax (as we know it) is kaput so there will be no firmware hence no DVS support hence no Club Kit.

Who makes the patches for the firmware updates? Pioneer pay to make the patch so Serato can install a club kit on their mixers?

For its age, VCI-380 is still much better than some newer controllers out there.

I also heard the VCI-400 got the firmware upgrade before Vestax went down? Is this true?

If I am not mistaken the color cue points were the only thing they had luck with prior to the end which was for the 380 but not sure if the 400 supported it.

Hey guys,

As as far as I am aware, Vestax were working on DVS for support for the VCI-380 before they went under but it was never completed. Unfortunately unless Vestax make a comeback I would say it's a done deal :(

Cheers,
Michael.

With all the links and networking available, I am sure someone will get a hold of the developer behind the firmware and I am very sure we have sufficient talent pool to complete it. I will not die happy if the 380 do not see DVS. It's just doesn't make sure at all.

Agreed. Only reason I don't have one is the lack of DVS support.

got rid of mine because of parts not available anymore. But yes was a great little controller for size nothing yet has come close.

I remember. I'd have bought it too if I'd had the readies at the time.

i still miss it, got a ns7ii and it's fun but will be selling once it comes back fom a service. Don't really like any controller out at the mo but think i will get a ddjsx2

I had no idea. No controller tickles your fancy huh? What are current controllers lacking or what are you hoping to see in the future? I have some ideas of my own and certain things I would LOVE to see in the future but overall I am happy with my controllers.

Jog tension is main thing but also what the pads do pioneer you have to hold shift then a pad mode to get to autoloops on the pads which inprefer. The sx2 is the closest to being perfect i guess if you could remap the pads then that would be better. Wish the sx2 had 10% pitch range 8% then jump to 16% is too big really. And bunch other little reasons haha.

Thinking of selling 380 and NS7FX to get Denon MC6000 MKII, which has DVS and 4-channel although I don't really need but is perfect for my mobile gigs and the occasion vinyl that I do.

But I really like the built layout of the 380. It's clean.

I love, love, love my Vestax 380. Fits in a backpack and its perfect for mobile gigs and to carry to a club when their equipment is shit. Lots of features. I wish it had DVS also. I run my ancient SL1 box thru it with SSL for using tables.

Look what just popped up stpvestax.com

GET. IN.

I know they want to start fresh with new hardware, but I hope they can update their drivers for the 380 and 400 for DVS support.

People love Vestax because of their past hardware, don't give up on us.

Yeah I posted this earlier ...

Bad news: Important Message for VESTAX Fans and Users: It should be noted that there are no current plans to provide support, software/firmware updates or repairs for existing or past VESTAX products, nor to recommence manufacture or sales of them. The stpVx range is a new line with no business nor production ties to the now closed VESTAX Corporation.


From the stpVx press release.

The signs were there the whole time. Some just refused to accept them. Sad but true.

Know idea who your talking about :P

but i shall cling to the glimmer of hope that 'no current plans' leaves the options to open that door at a later stage :)

Fook sake let it go, was obviously to me years ago now!!

Let's say i deside to buy the Vestax Brand. Guess what you wouldn't see your firmware update! Id want to make money and only look to new products. And i guess that's just how anyone else would see it.

chill dude....

.... was a tongue remark said with a smile on my face.

Hah TRUST this is not one of those times I would say told you so as I would be lying if I said this in any way makes me happy. It is unfortunate by all means. TBH I am going to make an even bolder prediction and say that I highly doubt we will ever see another consumer level controller (VCI series, etc.) product from them (not that "them" even means the same thing anymore) ever again as there is simply NO money in it for them. The fastest way they can guarantee the new companies demise is to repeat ANY of the mistakes of their past.

Always remember to include this - :P

;)

Yeah saw that article. I am not holding my breath. Really too bad but totally understandable from the business point of view. I can't wait to see what the stpVx mixer will be like once it hits the shelf.
