Hercules MP3 e2 - output only, no input

[coombesy]

Details of how I installed the drivers and patches:

ubuntu 10.10 uname - 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:48 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
mixxx 1.9
Hercules MP3 e2 (color is black)

When i change controls in mixxx they change on hercules - LEDs are working.
But when I change something on the contoller nothing happens in mix.

in preferences ->midi controlers->hercu.... the relevant mapping is loaded and the input tables are full and look ok but the output tables look empty. All rows are the same:
blank - blank - 0 - 1 - Note On - 0x00 - 1 - 0

if I enable the controller 'midi through port 0' mixxx crashes, whether or not hercules controller is enabled

I have tried the midi learning wizard but it doesn't seem to recoginize any of the movements I make from the controller.

The program 'Hercules DJ Control Panel' says please insert your device.

Maybe madjester has some advice on this one...

Can you take a look Phil?

I'm right in the middle of a move and I leave the hercules mp3 e2 at the old house. I'll get it dropped off to me next week. Sorry about that.

[RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan)]

Any update now that you're settled Phil?

The Same problem occurs on windows too, and it would be cool if it would be fixed soon.

Hi

I got my hands on a brand new Hercules Controller MP3 e2, installed it and tested it on VDJ, it works fine on win7 64

I then try on mixxx and the controller does not work properly (or at all for that matter)
the controller is listed in the midi devices, I loaded the xml preset for it, and the only thing that happens is :

when I click play on the GUI, the "CUE" button lights up (deck A or deck B respectively)

here is the midi/debug log for 1.11.0 r3303 64bit

here is the debug log for 1.10.1 32 bits
http://pastebin.com/7Xfzz3kc

Hercules information on the control panel:
Package 3.HDJS.2012
Firmware 1.0.1.9
drivers 5.6.8.0
DJ API 2.0.24.13
CPL 2.0.10.12

on an additional notes : it does not work on traktor demo either

after looking around, apparently the controller is not a real midi device, and even with the drivers, there is something strange making it unable to send MIDI data (any software I used for midi testing don't see anything coming from this controller)

In the windows device manager it isn't classified as a MIDI Devices either, but it has it's own root section.
