Hercules DJ Console Mk2-Help!!

crazy chester

Hi all, recently bought a second hand hercules mk2 dj console but i cant hook it up to the virtual dj software i have? I have it hooked up as the external soundcard so i can listen to music through it and also the mouse part between the volume/pitch faders i have working, its just i cant get the joggle wheels, faders, eq's or any of the rest to sync with the desck on the screen.

Please help!!

Thanks
Crazy Chester:)

Have you set up the controller in the preferences in VDJ? There's a MIDI controller tab where you can select the Hercules.

thanks for posting so quick! ye ive been in the config menu and have manually done a few but i cant assign all of them, is there a file i can load so it can sync automatically??

remove the hercules software and download the latest drivers for it from

I haven't used VDJ in ages, but is there not a screen with pictures of different controllers, and you just click the one you have? If not, there should be .tsi file for VDJ for your controller, probably on the Hercules website, although it should have come with the controller. Just download it, and then go to import in the MIDI mapping section.

No .tsi file on my system and downloaded the new version for windows 7 this morning! I have the crossfader working and the mid on deck 1 but the whole thing has frozen except those two!:eek: Cant play any tracks!!
Anyone got a link to the .tsi file for vdj? The version i have is 2.05, would that make a difference?

How did you get on chester? I just got the same console and cant get any of the drivers to work and every time I get redirected to the hercules site, it comes up as non existent!!! Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Why did you take the time to respond to the post? Do you trawl the net looking for opportunities to make yourself look like an ass? Well, you have achieved that 'buddy'. If you dont have something to say that would contribute to the post, dont say anything at all!
Whether it was 2 and a half months or 2 and a half years makes no difference really. The guy might have info to help me and may just stumble upon this in his inbox. Its how the internet works! Please dont reply to this post with some juvenile rubbish please as I couldnt handle getting abused over the internet by you.........:rolleyes:

I'm actually ashamed for replying to this as you are clearly (at least I hope so) a troll. However, unless you PM'd the OP he won't get a notifcation in his 'inbox'. Secondly its against forum etiquitte to resurrect old threads.

Thanks for letting me know chester wont get a notification unless its a PM. I dont use boards much and wasnt aware of that. Now, if you let me know that before posting hurtful remarks and resorting to calling me names, we would have avoided this unpleasentness. Thanks and remember.....be nice.

You're welcome.
Although I fail to see where I posted a hurtful remark before you launced into a diatribe accusing me of being juvenile and abusing you. You might do well to abide by your own advice.

The sarcasm was juvenile and calling someone a 'troll' would also fall into that category. Have a nice life 'buddy'!
