Using a Hercules DJ Console (Mac Edition) with DJ-1800

The Hercules DJ Console (Mac Edition) -

http://www.hercules.com/uk/DJ-Music/

- is a small but full-featured

MIDI DJ controller and 6-channel sound card. It includes 2 sets of controls, which can be used to control CD

Players 1 and 2 in DJ-1800. They can even be used to control DJ-1800 when it is in the background. The

Console also features an amplified headphone output and a microphone 'talkover' input.

To use a Hercules DJ Console (Mac Edition) – or "HDJC" - with DJ-1800 v3.0 or later under OS X, simply plug the

HDJC into your Mac, and then launch DJ-1800. The lights on the HDJC will flash on and off to indicate that the

console has been recognized by DJ-1800.

Note: This documentation describes the set up process for the original "Hercules DJ Console (Mac Edition)". If

you are using the newer "Hercules DJ Console MK2", or the "Hercules DJ Control MP3", please see the

appropriate documentation for those controllers, which can be downloaded from
