Vestax’s new USB DJ controller uses Serato’s “ITCH” for some pretty impressive results. It also looks like an updated VCI-300MKII model has been released. I must get my hands on one… at least to try.
A big concern with more sensitive electronic equipment, is finding the safest way to carry it around. Mostly, looking for something that will help protect the digital knobs. On this Serato forum thread, someone points out this German company (Magma-Bags) that makes carrying bags. Specifically, the DIGI Control-Bag 300 is demoed with the VCI-300.
However, I’ve been thinking about purchasing a piece of foam and just laying the foam on top and slipping it into a large sleeve. This keeps it more modular, and I could bring the the device alone or slip it into a larger back with my laptop.

I recently tried to purchase the MKII model, though the entire batch at my local music store was defective. I’m currently debating on just getting a used model of the first version. I’m down for used, because it also means “validated”.
