Luckily those devices are not for sale anymore and the new ones that are detected only as HID seem to be better supported.Īlso, to be fair, Hercules does maintain the Mac and Windows drivers for their legacy stuff - just not Linux. Go to Options > Preferences in Mixxx and look for your controller under the 'Controllers' label on the left. That's already the cold shower for a few users. deb) - just OpenSuse and somehow Arch, + maybe also some source based distros like Gentoo.

#MIXXX NOT DETECTING CONTROLLER DRIVER#
requires a patched driver in the form of a kernel module (non official - upstream is dead), In the case of the RMX + possibly the Steel, the following caveats should be mentioned: Not to have to mess their system by force installing kernel modules built for Ubuntu 10.x. If it says "officially supported" on the 3 platforms, users tend to expect it to work, one way or another. Check that your microphone is detected by your OS. This is not just about updating the wiki (which I used to edit a bit back in the 1.7 days), but clearing up the support stance on Linux for those old devices. The mappings for Hercules Inpulse 300 are working fine for Inpulse 200 as well so far.
I think the DJ Control Steel is also in the same situation (this would deserve to be double checked - as there's possibly a working HID mapping somewhere on the Mixxx forums).Īs said, the Hercules section is still quite a mine field on Linux - some devices fell right in the middle between the old Hercules midi driver and the HID migration. Rebooting with the controller attached via USB finally did the trick and Mixxx now detects the controller. The 2 mappings for the RMX are midi only: That's for the Dj Console Mk1 - different device. Long story short: it is probably better to direct Linux users to controllers that are known to be functional on their platform (either class compliant or with a properly maintained driver). This includes the url of the Linux driver which has also changed - there's no more mention of it on the Hercules support page. The relevant page of the MIxxx Wiki is also plain outdated. The only distro that seems to keep up with binary packaging is OpenSUSE (Factory), but users on Ubuntu/Debian will likely find only outdated PPAs. Ubuntu/Mixxx only seems to recognize one input (2 channels) and every time I select the one available Mixxx says it can't connect. I have a first hand experience here, being the current maintainer of the Arch pkgbuild for the Hercules kernel module (or at least trying to): Last I checked there is no functional HID mapping for it, and MIDI with the legacy (unmaintained since 2009) Hercules Linux Driver is a royal mess: it requires 9 patches to build on a modern kernel. I just had a look and have some comments regarding the Hercules DJ Console RMX (1st gen): This one deserves a warning - the wiki shouldn't give the wrong assumption that it works out of the box with HID or MIDI on Linux. Nice that you tackle the long overdue Mixxx controller documentation update.
