for anyone considering buying it..... they're not ALL bad lol. just thought i'd redeem the one tool that got me into dj-ing..
after a driver update, mine has never failed me ;)
hopefully everyone will have better luck after their unit exchanges/fixes

Scruffy and all,
I got my console replaced today (no questions asked).... it works much better:
1. the right jog issue is fixed
2. the split mode headphone issue is fixed
I've tried midi-ox and I still can see some weird stuff when spinning the jog quickly, however it's not noticeable from VirtualDJ.
My guess is that the original and all the issues are linked to the extreme sensitivity of the jogs.
I agree that the overall quality of the console is not amazing, however what do you expect for this price? On the other hand I have to say that the sound card quality is pretty decent when connected to professional systems though (quite impressed).
What I can't understand is why they didn't implement the touch sensor at the jogs (for blocking the spinning). That would make scratching and the overal console experience way better.
In summary: test well your consoles and send them back before the warranty expires.
Cheers

Good idea, XP10 have this features (scratch or nudge) but I really wait a good console with decent price.

I bought mine from Amazon - so is it best to contact their returns department or the Technical support at Hercules? I only bought mine in June so i am well within the 2 year warranty explained in the manual.
What should i say is the problem with the console? (i created the topic and appears im having the exact same problem as the MIDI explanations above ^^^^^).
Thanks to everyone who replied here. Appreciated.

I seem to have developed the same problem with my console. In fact mine right jog does not respond at all now. I tried reinstalling drivers, different software, different PC's....nada.....kinda pissed off now. I bought it from J&R and it says on the reciept they have a 14 day return/exchange policy. So I am not sure what Hercules is going to instruct me to do.......SIGH....
