Hercules Linux Kernel Module

Hercules Linux kernel module

Hercules released a linux driver for the MIDI part of their DJ consoles and controllers. Since it's been outdated by newer kernel versions, community members are now maintaining it, so it works also in newer kernel versions.

** Note: This module supports only the following models: **

DJ Console MK1
DJ Console MK2
DJ Console Rmx
DJ Console Steel

Also, you don't need this kernel if you just want to use them with recent Mixxx versions, because they are supported with HID mappings, which communicate directly with the controller.
