Hi Jim,
I'm the unofficial Herc guy (jumpkick on irc) for Mk2 and RMX.
I know about the VU LED problem, the output mappings are correct, but I
think the way the LEDs have been reimplemented, they now have a 1-to-1
threshold value to output LED. I don't know if that was a conscious
decision or just a bug in the table -> listener code (whatever the last
output mapping for that threshold key, is the only one that is activated).
I haven't had a chance to look into that.
I didn't play with the jogs on the Mk2, but the ones on the RMX also have
this problem. This may be due to how HercJog option works (or rather that
its been depricated). I started writing a MIDI script (javascript) for the
RMX to "decelerate" the speed of the track over time after a jog wheel
movement, maybe this code would be useful for the Mk2 as well.
If you are able to do javascript, I could produce a basic Mk2 version of the
RMX script that you could tweak to get it to behave better... I've actually
been looking for someone to help with this.
Let me know if you are interested.
Cheers,
-G
