VCI-380: A/V Layered FX with MIDI

After spending the summer of 2012 mixing video & radio shows with the Novation Twitch, I was ready to return to a mixing rig with wheels.  The configuration and layout of the VCI-380 from Vestax made it an ideal next step. Since incorporating the VCI, I've been experimenting with various configurations and have discovered some unique tools.

This video highlights one neat aspect of my show with a step by step on setting it up. The rig in this tutorial features turntable control of music videos with the VCI-380 functioning as the mixer & MIDI control surface for Scratch Live with Serato Video.  In this configuration, I'm able to layer visual and audible effects while controlling them both with a single dial on each channel.  Its a simple set-up with a fun, creative result and another tool in the kit of VCI owners.
