Controller update for 2.0: Hercules DJ Control MP3 e2

[Owen Williams]

This is a certified mapping and needs to be up to date so it will work smoothly with Mixxx. Notably the following things need to be checked and updated if necessary:

• Effects COs need to be changed
• EQ COs need to be updated
• Sync button needs to be tested with push-and-hold
• 4 decks need to be supported if the controller adapts easily (don't force 4-deck support into a 2-deck controller)

I have already updated this one : https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/590

I have also corrected HID mapping : https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/667

Effects CO:
Switched flanger to [QuickEffectRack1_[ChannelX]],super1

EQ CO:
Switched low/mid/high to [EqualizerRack1_[ChannelX]_Effect1], parameter1/2/3
Switched filter to [EqualizerRack1_X_Effect1], control

Sync button:
Added sync_enabled on "tempo" button
Sync button is "beatsync"
Added led logic to tempo button:
- off -> sync_enabled==0
- on -> sync_enabled==1
- code commented out to blink when "master" (see comment in the file

4-deck support added

sync button needs to be sync_enabled. Please see http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/updating_controllers_for_2.0 where we are working on documenting all of the required changes

I'm not sure to understand what you mean.
Do you mant mapping to mimic the GUI with a short press just syncing with the other track and a long press setting sync_enabled to 1 ?

This controller has 2 buttons for this :
one is called "master tempo" and is designed to enabling autosync on a deck
the other one is called "sync" and is designed to be a one-shot sync

I thinks it's better to have a mapping as close as possible to what's written on the buttons, but if you really want me to change this, I will do it, just let me know.

[Owen Williams (ywwg)]

oh I guess if it has two separate buttons that's ok. We'll have to update the manual though, right now it talks about long-pressing.

[Owen Williams (ywwg)]

let's call this done for now, and we can reopen if we need to tweak it
