How can I verify the Hercules P32DJ is working correctly as a MIDI controller
(MAC)?

Press a button on the controller. You should normally obtain de following result,
indicating the controller correctly transmits a signal:

Once installed, the first thing to do when launching MIDI Monitor, is to check under
Sources, that Hercules P32DJ is enumerated:
Start by pressing a button on the DJ Control. Under column Data, you will notice a value
of 127 (when pressing the button) and 0(when releasing the button).
For knobs and sliders, who are incremental controls, you should normally get values
between 0 and 127, depending on the position of the controller.
This test can also help determine if some of the controls of the DJ Control are not
working correctly. For example, if the Crossfader is only halfway to his course but
already displays its maximum value of 127.
