Hi,
I have just recently gotten into DJing live and the host that I stream through suggest Mixxx. I have been using it and recently bought my first controller, the one in the header.
I am asking if anyone has the preset for this model.
If not, could I modify an old preset like the Inpulse 300? Does it have to be completely remapped?
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I should have a fairly complete mapping in available the coming days, but in the meantime, you can select the Inpulse 300 preset included with the latest version of Mixxx to get you going. Most of the controls are the same so you’ll be able to use your controller.
Thank you. It works now!
Can I ask to have you let me know when its complete?
Hi,
did you manage to set up your inpulse 500? I just got mine and and trouble shooting to get it to work.
I would be interested in a mapping for the Impulse 500 as well.
Sorry. Been busy with other things. I will do my best to post a working mapping next week.
Hercules_DJControl_Inpulse_500.midi.xml (67.2 KB) Hercules-DJControl-Inpulse-500-script.js (7.5 KB)
So with a bit of delay, here is the first version of the mapping for the Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500. There is still work to be done, but the basics are there.
For details about the mapping and configuration, check out the Wiki page .
All questions and comments are welcomed 
Thanks a lot! Just tested it, works great.
Just as a suggestion, would it be possible to control the skip function in Mixxx also? For example with Shift + Autoloop In / Out for skipping and Shift + Autoloop Knob for changing the Skip amount?
Or is there already something else on the controller for this?
Another one is, would it be possible to have the Hot Cue buttons light up in the same collor as they are set in Mixxx?
I believe hotcues matching the colours is possible under 2.3, which is currently in beta.
Just as a suggestion, would it be possible to control the skip function in Mixxx also?
By Skip, do you mean beatjump backward or forward through the song ?
If so, then simply switch the pad section into “Slider” mode to access the beatjump.
As for the color Hotcue, @patchtheuniform is correct about the added support in the current 2.3 beta, but with this mapping, you should technically get it colors with 2.2.4 ( at least I do). Instead of asking for the pad to simply light On or OFF, I’m actually calling a specific color which is handled by the controller.
Ah thanks, Im still new to this controller. This would do yea.
I tested the controller under windows with the 2.3 beta and i do get different colors on the pads when switching modes, but these seem to be static, as in; not linked to assigned Mixxx hotcue colors.

You are correct. As I said, right now they follow the order of the Hot Cue, with each pad assigned to a specific color. I’m hopeful to be able to work the code so that Mixxx will handle the colors, but at the moment, this was the best and quickest I could do. 
If you want to get this mapping merged into the 2.2 branch, static hotcue colors are fine. For 2.3 and later, you can add support for custom colors as described here: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/wiki/Hotcue-Colors#controller-mapping-integration (just added the missing documentation to the wiki 
).
just got this controller and have been using it for days with your configs, it has worked pretty well so far
but there are a few things ive noticed. such as the FX buttons being unsupported, though i just saw you already having described that elsewhere
for my own usage i have edited your config script as the keylock function(rather than quantize) is assigned to the quantize button.
also the beatmatch guide indicator lights do not work for beatmatching, but both of them do come on at the same time when a song playing on 1 of the decks is about to end
i also saw on the PDF manual that pressing shift and spinning the jogwheel allows you to move through the song very fast, but i just tried doing that and got an error

This is correct and intentional since I’m not sure if this feature could be worked out in Mixxx (If it doesn’t exist already).
Also saw on the PDF manual that pressing shift and spinning the jogwheel allows you to move through the song very fast
Keep in mind that the manual on the support site does not specifically refers to the way the Inpulse 500 in mapped in Mixxx. However, using the Jogwheel with SHIFT should work, so I’ll have to take a look. Can you tell me what the error message says specifically ?
Uncaught exception at line 1 in passed code.
Exception:
TypeError: Result of expression '(DJCi500.scratchWheelShift )' [undefined] is not a function.
Backtrace:
<anonymous>(arg1 = 4, arg2 = 10, arg3 = 1, arg4 = 180, arg5 = '[Channel1]') at 1
<global>() at -1Ok. Not sure why, but tis function was removed from the script 
I’ll have to correct that…
So I have an inpulse 500 and a Chromebook. I downloaded mixxx and the presets for the controller and put the files in the controllers section of mixxx in my files app. When I have my controller plugged in and I start mixxx my controller doesn’t show up in the controller’s section in preferences. Therefore I cannot use mixxx, am I doing something wrong? If so please tell me and what to do
USB devices for normal Linux applications are not supported in Chrome OS. You’d have to install a normal Linux distribution.
Would it be possible to introduce a brake and spinback effect for this mapping?
As in: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/wiki/midi%20scripting#spinback_and_brake_effect
Not sure which buttons would be nice to use, maybe shift + fx buttons, or perhaps something under the sampler tab with shift.
