Hercules DJ Console RMX2

This all-in-one DJ controller features a built in 4 channel sound card with balanced XLR main outputs and a balanced microphone input. It is a USB class compliant MIDI and audio device (unlike older Hercules controllers).

New in version 1.11.

User Options

To change the mapping’s user options, you have to open the script file (.js). At the top of the file under **USER OPTIONS* the following settings can be made:

  • DJCRMX2.jogwheelSensivity: Sets the jogwheel sensitivity. 1 = default, 2 is twice as sensitive, 0.5 is half as sensitive.

  • DJCRMX2.jogwheelShiftMultiplier: Sets how much more sensitive the jogwheels get when holding [SHIFT]. Set it to 1 to disable jogwheel sensitivity increase when holding [SHIFT].

  • DJCRMX2.twinkleVumeterAutodjOn: If true, level-meter twinkles if AutoDJ is enabled.

  • DJCRMX2.autoPFL: If true, PFL / Cue (headphone) is being activated by loading a track into certain deck.

  • DJCRMX2.vuMeterOutputMaster: If true, deck vu meters show main output (L = Deck A, R = Deck B). If false, deck vu meter shows deck output (mono).

  • DJCRMX2.showHideSamplersEffectsOnPadMode: If true, Samplers and EffectRack get shown or hidden depending on the Pad-Mode.
