Hercules RMX effect knobs don't work

[Jon Hartle]

OS: Mac OSX 10.7.3
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Video: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB

When using the Hercules DJ Console RMX Advanced mapping, i will hold the button labeled "Scratch" to use as a shift function that is supposed to change the functions of the Bass, Mid, and Treble hardware knobs to control the Lfo, Depth, and Delay effect knobs. every time I try, I get an error popup that says:

Uncaught exception at line 446 in file /Applications/Mixxx.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/midi/Hercules-DJ-Console-RMX-scripts.js: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: Controls

I got the instructions for this supposed functionality from:

http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/hercules_dj_console_rmx

This is an extremely important feature for me. If you could look into it for me that would be most appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Jon,

I don't have an RMX so I can't confirm if this will fix the issue, but could you try changing three lines in that script file and retesting:

/Applications/Mixxx.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/midi/Hercules-DJ-Console-RMX-scripts.js

Change these three lines:

Controls.FlangerDepth.setValue("[Flanger]", value);
to
HerculesRMX.Controls.FlangerDepth.setValue("[Flanger]", value);

Controls.FlangerDelay.setValue("[Flanger]", value);
to
HerculesRMX.Controls.FlangerDelay.setValue("[Flanger]", value);

Controls.FlangerPeriod.setValue("[Flanger]", value);
to
HerculesRMX.Controls.FlangerPeriod.setValue("[Flanger]", value);

(In my file these are on lines 460, 474 and 488, but the error message you gave indicates that the line was 446, so you might have a slightly different version of the script)

Please report back whether this change fixes the problem so that we can make it official and fix it for the next version!

Thanks very much,
Ben
