Your DJ controller should be “natively” supported by most software, meaning
that it should work with minimal or no configuration required. In other cases,
you will either need to load a custom MIDI mapping (some available from the
Hercules Technical Support site), or create your own, using the software’s
“MIDI Learn” function.
The software developer’s web site should have all the details regarding the
support and configuration of MIDI controller.
