Enable 14-bit Pitch Control? (Hercules DJ Console 4-Mx)

Hi Algoriddim community,

My name is Patricio Zambrano, and I’m currently using djay Pro on macOS with a Hercules DJ Console 4-Mxcontroller. I’m working on a custom MIDI mapping to optimize my performance workflow, and one of the most important things for me is having precise and smooth pitch fader control.


:puzzle_piece: The Issue:

The Hercules 4-Mx controller is capable of sending 14-bit high-resolution MIDI messages by combining CC#00 (MSB) and CC#40 (LSB).
This should ideally give me fine pitch resolution — but in djay Pro, it seems like these messages are only interpreted as 7-bit, which results in less accurate pitch adjustments.

I’ve tried using Bome MIDI Translator Pro to combine the MSB + LSB and send an absolute CC value, but it would be great to avoid third-party tools if djay Pro already supports (or could support) this natively.


:bullseye: What I’m Looking For:

:white_check_mark: A way to enable 14-bit MIDI pitch control inside djay Pro
:white_check_mark: Or, if it’s not possible directly, the option to send my .djayMidiMapping file to the Algoriddim team so they can manually update it


:paperclip: Additional Context:

  • Controller: Hercules DJ Console 4-Mx
  • MIDI Channel: 1
  • Pitch fader sends: CC#00 (MSB) + CC#40 (LSB)
  • Platform: macOS running djay Pro AI
  • I already have a 7-bit mapping working, but I’d love higher resolution

If anyone from Algoriddim is reading this, I’d really appreciate your help. I read that you previously offered to convert mappings to 14-bit manually (via adrian@algoriddim.com, which no longer seems active). I’m happy to send you the file if needed.

Thanks so much for your time and support :folded_hands:
