I made some changes to the default mapper for Virtual DJ v7.0+ with Hercules HDJC(MK1) - MK2 - MP3 - MP3 e2 - MK4 - Steel - RMX- DJ 4Set & 4-Mx.
The ZIP pack mappers that you have downloaded it to unzipped and copy/overwrite in the path:
PC -> C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\VirtualDJ\Mappers
MAC -> Documents\VirtualDJ\Mappers
(do it with Virtual DJ closed)
v1.8
- Ability to change the parameter 1 and 2 of effect active, when an audio effect is active the rotation of the left Jog change the parameter 1 and right Jog change the parameter 2 (similar to Pioneer CDJs), when effect turn back off to the Jog function coming back to Pitch Bend / Scratch.
Old mapper action was "effect active ? param_multiply 300% & effect slider 1 : jog_wheel", if you don't like new 2 Jogs way to control effect you can past the old one in VDJ mapper page.
In the Hercules 4-Mx when an audio effect is active the rotation of the Jog change the parameter 1 and the Ctrl knob change the parameter 2 (similar to Pioneer CDJs), when effect turn back off to the Jog function coming back to Pitch Bend / Scratch and the Ctrl knob change the Filter.
To reset the filter push Shift.
In the Hercules Steel the effects parameter 1 and 2 can be changed with the two top left knobs, when the "Applt Ctrl. On" Led it's ON it indicate if knobs works for Deck A or B, in Select mode the two knobs it apply the filter of DecK A and B.
- Ability to scroll fast within the track with Jog, just press the |< or >| button and rotate the Jog.
- Pitch bend make short seek when track is in pause
- Ability to make "browsing" of the tracks with jogs, simply hold the "Cue Select" or "Up" or "Down" buttons on the deck and rotate the Jog. (No Hercules MK2). Note: that only works on one deck/jog at one time.
- Hold on the load button for more than half a second to unload the track from the deck.
- Fx and Loop leds blink when Fx or Loop are activated into Hercules MP3, MK2 and HDJC(MK1).
- Added blink on Play/Pause buttons when the song is paused (No Hercules Steel because it have the Stop led).
- Advance configuration of the 6 + 6 (shift mode) buttons in 4-Mx, RMX and Steel to use FX, Loop and 6 Hot Cues.
BUTTON1 -> loop_button
BUTTON2 -> effect active
BUTTON3 -> effect select +1
BUTTON4 -> loop_double
BUTTON5 -> loop
BUTTON6 -> loop_half
BUTTON7 -> holding ? delete_cue 1 : hot_cue 1
BUTTON8 -> holding ? delete_cue 2 : hot_cue 2
BUTTON9 -> holding ? delete_cue 3 : hot_cue 3
BUTTON10 -> holding ? delete_cue 4 : hot_cue 4
BUTTON11 -> holding ? delete_cue 5 : hot_cue 5
BUTTON12 -> holding ? delete_cue 6 : hot_cue 6
In the RMX the Source button is used like a shift, Hold on it for more than half a second to enable/disable Timecode_bypass.
- Advance configuration of the 3 + 3 (shift mode) buttons in DJ 4Set to use FX, Loop and 3 Hot Cues.
BUTTON1 -> loop_button
BUTTON2 -> effect active
BUTTON3 -> effect select +1
BUTTON4 -> holding ? delete_cue 1 : hot_cue 1
BUTTON5 -> holding ? delete_cue 2 : hot_cue 2
BUTTON6 -> holding ? delete_cue 3 : hot_cue 3
MODULATE- -> loop_half
MODULATE+ -> loop_double
- Advance configuration of the 4 + 4 (shift mode) buttons in MK4 and MP3 e2 to use FX, Loop and one sample.
BUTTON1 -> loop_half
BUTTON2 -> loop_double
BUTTON3 -> loop
BUTTON4 -> sampler play_stop
BUTTON5 -> effect select -1
BUTTON6 -> effect select +1
BUTTON7 -> effect active
BUTTON8 -> sampler rec
Note: Loop under 1/8 or bigger then 32 don't work with actions loop_half & double, if you don't want this limitation change "loop_half" to "loop_length 50%" and "loop_double" to "loop_length 200%".

Hey guys, just bought a returned/used Hercules RMX from Guitar Center. No driver disc. I'm trying to install it onto my laptop with the drivers at ts.hercules.com but to no avail. Also tried the manual firmware update, didn't work either.
My laptop is the Asus G53jW.
Operating System
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
CPU Type
Intel Core i7 740QM(1.73GHz)
Memory Size
6GB DDR3
Hard Disk
750GB
Graphics Card
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M
Video Memory
1.5GB GDDR5 VRAM
My laptop beasts any PC game or application I can throw at it, I'm certain it's not the technical specs. I've only had this laptop about 5 months, so it's relatively new and clean. After install attempt the installer says successful, RMX is still blinking, and the Hercules Control Panel is exed out. The RMX never shows up in the Device Manager unless I plug in the USB while holding the Mic On/Off button.
Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried installing the latest driver from the support site ?
http://ts.hercules.com/eng/index.php?pg=view_files&gid=17&fid=62&pid=262&cid=1
If a new firmware version is available, the update process should start automatically, and the new version will be applied.
If you already have the latest version (1.0.3.19, visible in the ABOUT tab of the DJ Control panel), then please be more precise about your problem.

You would need VDJ Pro Full in order to modify the keyboard or controller mapping.

If you don't want it to jump back to the cue point again after performing your scratch, then use the following for the jogwheel touch sensor mapping:
touchwheel_touch & var 'acue' ? down ? hot_cue ? goto_cue & play : nothing : hot_cue ? play : set_cue
If you can't get it to work at all, please post your current mappings for the jogwheel.
NOTE: As explained on http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VDJScript%20Examples.html , you must map a button to toggle A.Cue scratch mode on/off. If you have not done this, then it will not work. If the button is not on the same side of the controller, or is in the middle mixer section (Not specific to a deck), then you will need to use '$acue' instead of 'acue'

Just to be clear, what exactly do you have under Current ?
0 and 19 or 3(Etoms) and 19?

Thanks for the response, I Actually want it to work exactly as it's description...I tried:
Key: AUTOMIX
Action: toggle '$acue'
Key: JOG_TOUCH
Action: touchwheel_touch & var '$acue' ? down ? hot_cue ? goto_cue & play : nothing : hot_cue ? goto_cue & play : set_cue
I also tried it without the "$"
I would really appreciate if I can get this working normally

Providing that you are using '$acue' then the above should work (AUTOMIX is not associated with a particular deck, so you must use a global variable (One with $ in front of its name.))
Make sure that vinyl mode (SCRATCH) is enabled and you have toggled on A.Cue mode by pressing the AUTOMIX button.
Also, make sure that you are actually pushing down onthe 4-Mx jogwheel - They are pressure sensitive, not touch-sensitive.

Ok, so I put the EXACT script as above with the $ exactly as it appears in my QUOTE
I click OK then checks and makes sure my SCRATCH Button is on (default) i scratch the song successfully, then presses AUTOMIX to toggle the '$acue' and it lights blue indicating "ON"....
I press the platter, the blue indicator light on the platter activates and i scratch normally...without jumping to my cue points??? :(
why isnt it working? :'( can you send me the exact script to use where AUTOMIX is the TOGGLE BUTTON? Thank you for your help thus far...Greatly appreciated :D

This is perfectly normal. Only the FIRMWARE AUDIO of the MK4 can be updated (this is why the Open CTRL button is greyed out).
Simply click the UPDATE button to proceed with the Firmware Audio update and be done with it.
