This allows the user to get the most out of software that lacks curve settings, and potentially enhance software that does already. The VCI-100 also has 90 assignable parameters, which let the user set up to 90 different effects to the equipments controls. This enables the user to have a large variety of effects and functions at their disposal, greatly enhancing their performances as a DJ. When compared to another, similar piece of equipment from Vestax, the TR-1, the VCI-100 falls short in some areas, such as a lower number of assignable parameters, and the lack of a shift button.
