Hi all, Yesterday Hercules released a GPL Linux MIDI driver for their DJ Console/Control MIDI input controllers.
The driver is bundled as a dkms kernel module (source auto recompiled with each kernel update) and it is available here: http://ts.hercules.com/eng/index.php?pg=view_files&gid=2&fid=28&pid=215&cid=1. To be compatible with the new driver, Mixxx must be recompiled without the libdjconsole library that had provided us with limited raw access to the USB device to use as a control (libdjconsole conflicts with the MIDI driver's access inside Mixxx). I've built a new set of packages (i386 deb/rpm) from a tag called "1.6.1+Herc", which contains our last stable release without libdjconsole and featuring updated MIDI configuration mappings for Hercules Mk2, RMX, MP3 Control, DJ Steel (untested). These packages are available here: http://mixxx.org/packages/1.6.1+Herc-rc1 Please refer to http://mixxx.org/hercules for documentation. I would like to encourage those of you with Hercules devices on Linux to test out these packages with the new drivers and advise of any bugs. Baring any issues, I plan to update documentation and release these packages on Feb 18, 2009.
