Midi controller for effects for use with Hercules Steel Posted on: 02.11.2010 by Miyoko Pennison Hey Guys, Im not quite sure if this is the right place, but it seems to fit in...atm, I'm owning a Hercules DJ Control Steel. So far, its fine. But in some way, its annoying that i have to double-assign the EQ section to Effects with a modifier in Traktor Pro. And here comes the question: I was believeing about a Kontrol X1 mapped the following:
1. Do you believe that would be nicely assigned and possible 2. what to do with the remaining bottom 16 buttons and 2 knobs? i believe either cue or loop should be "transfered" to it... (i dont like double-assignments) 3. I searched for several hours, but couldn't find any other controller thats not a toy or poorly built ( like the nano series ) or too expensive... if you know any other midi controller that would fit my FX needs, please tell me so! Thank you very much! PS: My mapping of the Hercules Steel can be found here: Hercules Steel Mappings Post 16 energy12 | |

| Miyoko Pennison 03.11.2010 | Yeah, thought about that one, too, but didnt come to a conclusion regarding how i would map it. apart from DW and 1/2/3 per Deck i want to do the following on-the-fly: -changing the effects for ex. with a shift button (on hold) can i do that with the master button? and im not quite sure if touch works out great. Additionally, the buttons which would turn on/off the effects are totally seperate of the vertical sliders.... anny suggestion? already searched for midi specs of it, but i didnt find anything yet... EDIT: I buyed the controller mentioned above, and hope the scs.3m will fit my needs... Thanks to you all. |
| Susann Blachford 03.11.2010 | An SCS3m would be a nice alternative to the X1. Its very customizable, you can basically map it to do whatever you want. And theres a guy selling one in the community s for cheap I believe... |
| Tatum Ansaldo 02.11.2010 | Basically, yes. Shift (which can be either a hold or a toggle) effectively changes the 'page', not acting quite as a modifier but rather a whole separate controller... The rest of the buttons (apart from HOTCUE) are totally mappable like any midi control, but in native mode. Then of course there's midi mode! |

| Miyoko Pennison 02.11.2010 | Is it possible to change the controls like mentioned? also, are the Browse-knobs good to handle the filters? just wondering cause theyre endless... @fullenglishpint: youre using a vci-100 with kontrol X1, right? how did you set up the kontrol X1? especially the FX? |
| Tatum Ansaldo 02.11.2010 | X1 would do the job for you brilliantly. |
| Leeanna Ayla 02.11.2010 | I believe the X1 would be great and you could also add pots and faders to a midi fighter. |
