    Actually, I think you can... I have a Hercules MK4 and a Hercules MP3 E2 that I hook up together, though I customized the mapping on the second one to work the effects instead of decks C/D.

    The Hercules utility in your taskbar will show an orange number "2" if both are connected and working.

    Only thing is, this worked with two different Hercules controllers, I don't know if this would work with two of the same controller. But for what you are trying to accomplish, you can buy a different Hercules controller without a soundcard, like the MP3 E2, and map that to accomplish what you're trying to do, and would end up being cheaper too if you were planning on buying another RMX.

    Like I said above, I'm not sure if you can connect two of the same controller, but I know you can connect two different Hercules controllers to act like one. Just keep in mind, you will have to customize the mapping for the second controller, otherwise you will have two redundant controllers controlling the same parts of the software. I've used this setup with Traktor 2.5 and the latest Hercules control panel utility.

    As someone who has tried something similar (I ran a djm900, 2 cdj2000s, and a MC6000 at the same time), your software is going to get really confused by two sets of faders attempting to control the exact same functions. Could you do this? Yes, but you're going to have disable the mixer portion of one controller in the controller editor.
