Hi,
I bought a HERCULES "DJCONTROL INPULSE 200" and I am not able to map sliders and wheels (buttons are no problem).
I made the mapping tests without additional drivers (only USB plugged in) and also with additional drivers by HERCULES.
I did this tests also with another PC (
i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz 16 GByte), with the same results.
Also changing the USB sockets has no impact on the behavior of the DJCONTROLLER together with Thetis.
When mapping a slider, a lot of command "bursts" are transmitted to Thetis (mapping menu). Sometimes I have to wait 5 seconds until the data stream of a short move is finished.
Even if I correct the midi-database manually, concerning the MIN- and MAX-values, the sliders on Thetis and "PowerSDR mRX PS" are jumping several times over the complete value range, when I move the slider only one mm. A complete move from 0 to 100% on the DJController generates more then 20 complete random passes in the slider in Thetis.
I tried to use the "Diagnostigs" register in the config menu (see screen shot). There I get a lot of commands, even if the slider move is stopped. A move of 1 second produces more then 60 commands over more then 5 seconds. The command burst in the screen shot is produced by a knob turn within 1 second of less then 20°.
Sometimes the command flood doesn't end within 2 minutes, then I abort the program.

What can I do?
Whats wrong in my mapping procedure?
Does anyone has experience with this type of MIDI-Controller (Hercules DJCONTROL INPULSE 200)?
PS:
a) I think one problem is, that slider and wheels send sometimes with different control-IDs (i.e. #23 and #03, as shown in the screenshot). The numbers from ID 23 are wrong and the numbers from ID 03 are OK, both coming from the same knob.
b) The 2nd problem may be, that the same ID-#s are used with different channel-#s, while Thetis doesn't interpret the channel-# (because in the XML-file no channel-#s are saved).
c) May be a routing and translation software (boom midi translator) can fix this problem, but I didn't find the right way.
Thanks in advance for your appreciated advices.
