Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500

Beta. This mapping works on paper and has a picture in the Controller Editor, but nobody has tried it in openDJ on the real controller yet. If you have one, tell us how it goes: what works, and what doesn't.

Getting started

Plug the Inpulse 500 in with its USB cable and it picks this mapping by itself. It's also a sound card: choose it in Settings › Audio, with the main output on channels 1-2 and the headphones on 3-4. Its master and headphone knobs work on the controller's sound card directly.

• Pad modes (eight): hot cue, loop, slicer, sampler, toneplay, roll, FX and beat jump. SHIFT and a pad gives that mode's second page.
• FX 1-4 pick which deck each side plays: 1 and 3 on the left, 2 and 4 on the right.
• The LOOP encoder halves or doubles the loop when turned and turns it on or off when pressed. SHIFT and a press sets a 4-beat loop.
• ASSISTANT turns Automix on or off.
• QUANT turns quantize on; SHIFT and QUANT is key lock.

When you try it

• Play and scratch on all four decks, switching with FX 1-4.
• Try all eight pad modes, with and without SHIFT.
• Check that the pad and button lights follow what's on screen.

MIDI Preset for Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500

openDJ supports 2 of the 4 controls this mapping sets directly. The rest of the mapping runs as a script, which isn't counted here.

This mapping doesn't describe its controls one by one, so there's no list here yet.
