Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 2-Deck USB DJ Controller for Serato DJ and DJUCED

Product Information

With the browse knob lighting up red on the first downbeat of a bar in Serato, DJ’s can combine these tools to aid mixing songs in perfect phrase and time. When at the far left position, only the sound from the left deck will be heard from the Master Output. The buttons change the filter knobs to control a given effect within Djuiced and Serato, with the exception being the FX4 button. The set of four fold-out feet on the bottom of the mixer is excellent for improving the comfort of your controller. The layout, although capable of controlling both Serato and Djuiced, is tailored towards the former.

Slicer Loop is identical as Slicer mode, instead that the Slicer stays in the Loop and don’t follow the track. The Aux input and the headphones mix are processed in the same DSP, so as the Aux input works and is mixed on the master output, the in-board audio processing is not the cause of your getting no signal, which is a good piece of news.Tip: the Master Headphones button allows you to listen to any source that is sent to the 1-2 Channel Audio Output of the Inpulse sound card – if you use the Inpulse as a computer sound card.

This new beginner-friendly model aims to give users more flexibility while maintaining an affordable design. As Microsoft stopped the official support on Windows 7 and 8, we can’t guarantee any official support on these platforms. This quality case provides second-to-none protection against drops, scratches and liquids with its high-density egg crate interior and water repellent nylon exterior.Even though it’s a feature exclusive to Hercules controllers, the beat match guide is available in both Djuiced and Serato.

Once you hit the perfect speed, the LED light simply turns green to let you know you can stop adjusting.The touch-sensitive units come with a textured top to help with grip, and there’s a button to toggle between vinyl modes too. You can also use the Master headphones button to preview the Master signal that you are sending to the speakers. Hardware high/low pass filters are also available, making this device an instant standout from some of the other cheaper products available today. This could mean that if you decide to change your controller as you develop new skills, you’ll be better off learning how to use Serato effectively early.

Hardware operation, not visible in GUI or controlled from VirtualDJ 17 * HEADPHONES MIX Blends the signal from the Deck or Master PFL and the Master Output in Headphones. The center of the mixer features a big VU meter equipped with LEDs, so you can check the output of each channel with ease. We knew going in that this device was designed to impress, but we had no idea just how powerful an entry-level controller could be. The filter controls are large and easy to use, with a High/low pass filter running as standard until you choose your effect.

You get Tidal and SoundCloud for music streaming, and enough features to get you going, although Serato really, really wants you to upgrade to Serato DJ Pro (which you should at some point) and you’ll be reminded of this often as a ‘Lite user. Ideal for DJ’s taking the controller to gigs with external mixers, it’s another example of how the Inpulse 500 can be a controller that DJ’s progress into their first gigs with.
