  • Selectable effect ON/OFF mode (Momentary & Latch).

Read full review @ Scratchworx : "With Serato having a closed architecture around ITCH, the choice for adding effects to a VCI-300 is limited to the VFX-1 and the Numark NSFX. Both do almost the same thing, largely leaving the cosmetic and logistical element of how well it fits with your VCI-300 as the key consideration. Thus the market is narrowed down to just the VFX-1 really.
Some have asked about using other effects units with ITCH controllers. Well you can, but you can only add them to the master output, meaning a massive loss of control and flexibility. There maybe killer effects that you simply cannot live without on the Korg KP3 for example - tough. Without send and receive, you cannot insert the effects in the audio chain.
While it's pretty much a Hobson's choice, the VFX-1 is really good. And bar some personal comments on the effects themselves, it's hard to imagine a better controller for the VCI-300."
