I am trying to use my "Hercules DJControl Compact" together with the MIDI capabilities of Quisk 4.2.30.
I tried it on
- Windows 10
- Linux Mint
I could validate on both platforms, that the communication between the MIDI Controller and the OS is working, by using
- Pocket MIDI on Windows
- "aconnect -l" and "aseqdump -p "DJControl Compact" on Linux Mint
But in both cases the config dialog for MIDI in Quisk stays grayed out and there is no way, to map any MIDI commands/events to Quisk functions:
According to my understanding a MIDI event should show up in the field "MIDI Control" and I should be able to map it to a function in Quisk.
But whatever I do on the MIDI controller nothing shows up in that field!?
I guess, I need to configure somewhere the "name" of the MIDI controller, which is in my case "DJControl Compact", but I could not find where.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, to get it going.
BTW: I looked into F5NPV's posting (https://f5npv.wordpress.com/quisk-midi-controller/), how he is using his MIDI controller, but he is mapping the MIDI events in a bash script to key presses, which essentially makes the Quisk MIDI functionality (if it exists) obsolete. I also searched this group and the internet for any relevant information, how to configure a MIDI controller in Quisk and could not find anything useful.
