5.3.3. ASIO tab (not available on Mac)

“Audio Stream Input/Output” is a multi-channel protocol for audio transfer developed by the
Steinberg company. It allows a variety of programs to communicate with different sound cards
and recognize all of the inputs and outputs available on the sound card, with short latency. Your
DJ Console 4-Mx is ASIO 2.0 compliant.

When in ASIO mode, you can adjust the following settings: Sample Rate, Sample Size, ASIO
Buffer Size.

- The configuration is set to 44100Hz (44.1kHz)/16-bit mode by default. The best audio setting for

VirtualDJ is this default setting, which provides the best response time. For software where
response time is not as important, you can play music in 24-bit mode (44.1kHz or 48kHz) in
Windows (ASIO).

- The most important setting is the ASIO buffer size. The default setting is 480 (10ms), which is a

good average for most computers. Note that the smaller the ASIO buffer size, the shorter the
response time. If you encounter audio problems (such as static or crackling), increase or
decrease the ASIO buffer size until you find the correct setting for your computer (there are no
ideal settings, as all computer configurations are different).

- Changes to the ASIO settings can only be made while your application is not running.

- Please note that when switching to 24-bit mode, inputs 3-4 are not available.

and right = red). The 1/4" jack (6.35mm) connectors are also mono outputs.

Select the type of connector according to the type of equipment you will be connecting. Normally,
outp

uts 1-2 will be used for your live mix playing in the room, and outputs 3-4 will be used for

monitoring or connecting an external mixer.

6.1. Connecting speakers and/or an external mixer to your DJ
Console 4-Mx

With the included VirtualDJ software, you can play your mix for the audience over a hi-fi system
connected to outputs 1-2 on your DJ Console 4-Mx, for example, and preview upcoming songs on
outputs 3-4, using your headphones or monitoring speakers.

The included version of VirtualDJ is pre-configured to use the DJ Console 4-Mx’s built-

in sound card exclusively. As such, it will not be possible to use your computer’s standard
sound card or integrated speakers. A pair of speakers MUST be connected to Output 1-2 on
the back of your DJ Console 4-Mx.

- Make sure that your computer and other audio equipment is switched off.

- Connect your main set of speakers to the Output 1-2 RCA plugs (plug 1 corresponds to the left
speaker, plug 2 to the right speaker) or to the Output 1-2 1/4" jack (6.35mm) plugs.

- The Output 3-4 RCA plugs play the same channels as those being played on the headphones,
and can be used to connect monitoring speakers (which are used by DJs in clubs, for example,
instead of headphones, when they are mixing in an enclosed DJ booth and separated from the
audience by a window); or, if you upgrade your software to VirtualDJ Pro
Output 3-4 RCA plugs to connect an external mixer, and split up playback with Deck A played
on Output 1-2, and Deck B played on Output 3-4.

6.2. Connecting headphones

Your DJ Console 4-Mx features 1 headphone connector, on the front panel. Headphones are set
to channels 3-4 by default, but can also be set to channels 1-2 instead (for more information,

7. INPUT OPTIONS

7.1. Connecting external audio sources

Your DJ Console 4-Mx allows you to connect virtually any kind of analog audio source you might
wish to use, including vinyl turntables. If you upgrade to VirtualDJ Pro
package), you can even use time-coded vinyl records or CDs to control music files stored on your
computer, giving you the ultimate hands-on mixing experience and combining the best that the
worlds of analog and digital have to offer. Now you can enjoy using hybrid mixing, combining
computer audio tracks on one deck with an analog source connected to the other deck.

Your DJ Console 4-Mx features 2 stereo audio inputs on its back panel (2 pairs of 2 mono RCA
connectors). Define your audio source type in the DJ Console 4-Mx control panel – it can be
phono level, consumer line level (-10dBv), pro line level (+4dBu) or boosted line level (+8dBu) –
and simply connect the audio source of your choice to the white (left) and red (right) RCA
connectors: Input 1-2 for Deck A, and Input 3-4 for Deck B. This allows you to replace the
computer audio track played on Deck A with the music played on Input 1-2, and replace the
computer audio track played on Deck B with the music played on Input 3-4.

Be sure to define your audio source type (i.e. the correct output level for the device you
are connecting) in the control panel before connecting your audio source, and not after the
audio source has been connected. Doing so will avoid any possible audio issues in terms of
distorted sound.

You can even equalize your external audio sources and adjust their volume, just as you can with
a computer audio track (you can use the Gain knobs to adjust the volume for each deck). This
provides for seamless mixing and full control over the sound of your mix.

You can select the input level for each deck in the DJ Console 4-Mx control panel (phono level,

onsumer line level, pro line level, or boosted line level), according the output level of the device

7.2. Connecting a microphone

Your DJ Console 4-Mx features one mono ¼" jack (6.35mm) plug on both its front and top panels.
We recommend using a vocal microphone with an impedance of between 1 and 64 ohms. You
can use your microphone to talk over the music and communicate with your audience (mix the
microphone input with audio outputs 1-2, for example), or use your microphone to replace the
music on Deck A with your voice.

Please note that microphones requiring phantom power are not supported by DJ

Console 4-Mx.

Press the Mic On/Off button on your DJ Console 4-Mx to toggle the microphone on or off. You

8.1. Jog wheels

The jog wheels on your DJ Console 4-Mx emulate vinyl turntables: turning a jog wheel lets you
scratch or move the cursor backward or forward within music tracks, allowing you to select the
cue point where playback will start for the audience.

The jog wheels are large in size (12cm in diameter – the size of a CD) and are touch sensitive:

they
your hand can physically stop the playback on a vinyl record. A blue light in the center of the jog
wheel turns on to show the touch detection. The jog wheels are also very precise: the jog wheels’
rotation is detected with an accuracy of 256 steps per revolution.

The jog wheels have dual functions: simply turn the jog wheels (using the sides of the wheels, or

ut putting too much pressure on the top) to use the seek function; or press down on the top

witho
of the wheels slightly in order to scratch.

aneously). The cross fader moves between the left and right decks, allowing the DJ to

adjust the mix between 2 or 4 tracks.

Setting the cross fader completely to the left means that the mix (the music the audience hears)

mes 100% from the left decks: this is necessary, as you’re mixing with 4 decks. Setting the

co
cross fader in the center means that the music comes 50% from the left deck and 50% from the
right, and so on.

These buttons, found just above the jog wheel on each deck, allow you to move quickly within
music tracks: press the corresponding button to rewind or fast forward within a track (this is an
easy way to quickly get to the exact point in a song that you're looking for).

8.6. Pitch settings

- 2 or 4 Pitch faders (sliders): you can use the pitch faders to adjust the playback speed of a

track, increasing or reducing its BPM (Beats Per Minute) rate, in order to make dancing easy
by setting new music tracks at the same BPM as the previous track so that dancers don’t need
to change their rhythm during the transition from one track to another. The pitch faders are
more precise than on any other Hercules DJ controller, with 14-bit accuracy (versus 7-bit on
other Hercules DJ controllers), 60mm pitch travel, and 2 buttons to control the software pitch
scale (allowing you to change the pitch scale from 6% to 12% in VirtualDJ, for example).

9. DJING BASICS

For detailed information on how to use the bundled VirtualDJ mixing software, please refer
to the VirtualDJ user manual, included on your DJ Console 4-Mx's installation CD-ROM or
available for download on the Hercules Technical Support website (http://ts.hercules.com).

First off, you will want to make sure that the audio files in your music library have been analyzed
i

n the VirtualDJ software, which will determine the BPM (beats per minute) values of your tracks.
Since mixing music tracks together involves synchronizing their beats while the two songs overlap
with one another, you will need to select tracks whose BPM values are similar to one another, to
make for seamless transitions from one track to the next. Alternatively, you might choose to mix a
track with another track whose BPM value is half or double its own value (60 BPM and 120 BPM,
for example), which can also make for a fairly smooth transition between tracks.

Please note that analyzing files to determine their BPM values in the VirtualDJ software can take

ome time to complete, particularly if you are analyzing a large number of songs, and should be

s
done in advance of a party; this process also consumes a lot of your computer's system
resources while it is being carried out. We therefore recommend that you analyze the entire
contents of your music library overnight, for example.

The VirtualDJ software lets you create “virtual folders”: you can create a virtual folder by clicking
on the re
folder contains a collection of shortcuts to tracks, allowing you to quickly access a group of tracks
you have selected, like a playlist: dragging an audio track into a virtual folder will not physically
move the file into that folder, but rather will create a shortcut to where the track is located. This is
a very handy way to organize groups of songs for your DJing sets, and you can also make sure
that groups of tracks in your virtual folders have similar BPM values to one another. You can use
the file explorer in the VirtualDJ software to browse through your tracks, or use the search feature
to find specific tracks, and then simply drag and drop them into your different virtual folders.

While a track is being played on the left deck for the audience, the DJ presses the Cue Select
Right Deck button on the DJ Console 4-Mx and uses headphones to listen to and adjust the next
track to be played. The DJ might make adjustments to the track’s pitch (using the pitch faders
and the Pitch Bend buttons), and make sure that its beat lines up properly with that of the track
playing on the left deck. As the track on the left deck is nearing its end, the DJ starts moving the
cross fader towards the right deck (and can use the volume faders for each deck to help with the
transition as well), so that the audience gradually hears more of what is being played on the right
deck in the mix. The DJ can adjust the EQ controls on each deck to help tracks blend in smoothly
with one another: for example, by reducing the mid and treble frequencies on one deck, so that
mostly just the bass frequencies (including the song’s beat) are heard as one song transitions into
the next.

While songs are playing, the DJ can also use the effects and looping features on the DJ Console
4-Mx

10. CONFIGURATION IN MIDI MODE

Your DJ Console 4-Mx can function as a MIDI controller: the buttons, knobs, faders and jog
wheels can send MIDI signals that will then be interpreted by MIDI-capable software. In software
that accepts MIDI commands, you must select your DJ Console 4-Mx as the MIDI controller.

Many music software applications that incorporate MIDI control feature a “learning mode”: simply
c

lick a button, turn a knob or jog wheel or move a slider on your DJ Console 4-Mx to link that
control to a control in the software. Some popular applications to include a MIDI learning mode
include: Native Instruments Traktor, Ableton Live, Mixvibes, and Image Line Deckadance.
