No, Hercules have not released one. When Windows 7 is officially released then I guess Hercules will have a Driver package ready.

You could try this though (bottom post)

Did you update to the latest drivers?
 

Posted Mon 01 Jun 09 @ 8:50 pm
The Updated drivers worked...Thanks as always with the quick and correct instructions...

One last question. On the remix it has 6 function buttons..with #1 and #2 were for loop
#3 and # 4 were for speeding up slowing down to help match beats
#6 i used for the backspin/Brake etc...
How do i get that all back?

I see that folks have been asking for it, so I've come up with a simple solution for jogwheel default (the one that is currently visible in the skin) effect slider adjustment that I would like to share with you.

The method described here uses the scratch button as shift...Use whatever button you'd like, or replace 'default' with the effect name and assign the additional actions to the button you've assigned for the effect, if you wish. This was tested on my RMX using hard-coded 6+6 buttons and the default widescreen VDJ6 skin.

SCRATCH action=vinyl_mode [add this] & set $shift while_pressed

JOG action=var $shift ? action_deck 1 ? effect default slider 1 : effect default slider 2 : jog_wheel

Happy spinnin' ;)

Can someone help with the RMX mapping since I do want get all the default settings from previous version of VDJ pro? You can send me a link to the thread with the RMX mapping setup.

Hello djspeaky09,


Do you mean you want to control VirtualDJ with Hercules Mobile DJ?

1) I think Atomix has released a version of VirtualDJ Pro which was at least partly compatible with this wireless DJ mixer.

2) Hercules has MIDI drivers for Hercules Mobile DJ in Windows, I have beta-tested this driver a long time ago, so if you want to control VirtualDJ Pro with this mixer, it is possible, but
- it requires VirtualDJ Pro to get VirtualDJ MIDI learning mode,
- a MIDI mapping won't use on Mobile DJ screens (you won't get on screen the name of the tracks, the BPM rate or the elapsed time) since the MIDI mapping doesn't include text, except if Atomix includes a management of the text.

DUDE! You are the man! I never would have figured that out! Really, I tried and I was not even remotely close. I owe you one, thank you, thank you, thank you very much.

How can I use this same example to program my DN-S1200 FX2 button and the Jogwheel to control the effect slider? Can you be a bit more specific when using a different controller?
