Hi guys good news i think for all Hercules Starlight owners.

After contacting the Hercules support guys i got a excel list of all hex codes from this model.
I have done some editing to that file to make things more clear and added a few Thetis examples.

Please read the first tab first. I've put a lot of work in this but if there are still questions then shoot ...

On of the things that i'm most proud of, i managed to make the square buttons "flip-flop".
Usefull for functions like MODE and BAND.
Pressing button 1 => LSB + LED On + previous led goes off
Pressing button 2 => USB + LED On + previous led goes off
Pressing button 3 => CW-L + LED On + previous led goes off
Pressing button 4 => CW-U + LED On + previous led goes off

"How to do this" is also explained on the first tab of the Excel.

It's work in progress because i started from scratch with the correct hex codes.

If your Starlight controller and Thetis are not "in sync" anymore (cos of using the mouse or keyboard) then click the light bulb icon from the Hercules background app. (it reset the controller). I suppose there is a hex code for this too, but not yet searched for it.

I also have a DJ Controll Compact, will look at that one later. Or try it yourself before i do, hopefully it uses the same hex codes...?

Have fun, greetings from PD3LK

Hi Leon,

This is very helpful!

Thank you so much, "Danku veel!"

FYI .. did some tests but it seems that the DJ Controll Compact uses other hex-codes.
I asked Hercules support, will let you know if they respond.

The documentation for the DJControl Compact is available on the Hercules website:

Hi Scott, thanks for reminding, i got the same message from Hercules.
Getting old... already downloaded it 3 years ago. But to be honest, i had never understood very well how to implement these hex codes in Thetis.
The penny only dropped (is that a commonly known saying?) when i started expirementing with the Starlight leds.

All,
I have attached an Excel sheet for the Compact too. Easy for making notes about your midi mappings.
Making buttons flip-flop, like i did on the Starlight, works perfect for the Compact too.
"How To" is on the first tab in de sheet.

Also attached my midi mappings (.m2c), don't forget to save yours before importing mine.

Regards, Leon
