Hello,

Welcome on the forum.

1) A DJ controller is a computer peripheral, so most technical issues are related to computer & software settings so please complete your technical profile:
https://www.herculesdjmixroom.com/en-us/account/informations/ .
a) in "Hercules equipment in use": check the name of your DJ controller: is it a DJ Control Air or a DJControl Air+,
b) In Software in use, check Djuced

c) In "Describe your equipment": describe your computer brand and model, CPU, quantity of RAM, version of Windows or macOS (for example Windows 10 64-bit built 1909), type of USB (USB2, USB 3), USB connection (direct or through a USB hub or through a USB-C adapter - brand and model of the USB hub and the USB-C adapter), version of DJConsole Series driver package for example 2020_HDJS_1, version number of Djuced, for example Djuced 5.0.9.

2) I do not understand the meaning of "3 ticks on the firmware update".
Please run Hercules DJ control panel, go to the "About" tab, and list what is written for:

Package:
Firmware:
Driver:
Midi Map:
DJ Api:

3) Please go in the "Advanced" tab of the Hercules DJ control panel, and check the MIDI channel.
If it is not on the default channel (1 in Windows), then set it on the default MIDI channel.
