Product Description

Hercules, the leader in mobile DJ controllers for PC/Mac, is proud to unveil its new mixing console for computers, the Hercules DJControl Instinct. The DJControl Instinct is designed for anyone with an instinct for mixing, and for everyone dreaming of getting behind the decks to host great parties with their own music and setting the dance floor on fire.Instinctive, compact and lightweight, DJControl Instinct has been created with all users in mind, and comes equipped with everything needed to start having fun right away – audio outputs, pressure-detecting jog wheels, and intuitive mixing software (DJUCED). All users need to start hosting wild DJ parties is a computer (PC or Mac, with a USB port to connect the controller), a pair of amplified speakers, headphones, and audio files on computer.Thanks to its central mixer with a brushed metal texture, which splits up the controller’s surface in relation to the two lacquered deck areas on either side, DJControl Instinct provides handling that is truly instinctive. The bright orange and red backlighting used for its controls allows users to very easily identify where all of the different elements are, even in low-light conditions. In addition to being simple to use, the controller is also powerful: its two pressure-detecting jog wheels let you scratch without any latency, as well as scroll within tracks, and control the Pitch Bend function.DJControl Instinct is the only controller in its category to feature built-in audio outputs: two RCA outputs, plus one 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack output. This makes it easy for DJs to play their mix on amplified PA system speakers, on a hi-fi system or on multimedia speakers.An independent output in 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack format also lets users connect their headphones, to preview tracks privately before playing them in their mix.

SMALL BUT FASCINATING !!!

SMALL BUT FASCINATING !!!
Although it is much smaller than expected , it sure delivers great ! I am completely satisfied with this controller. Like everything in life it has its good and bad but for beginners or even intermidate DJ's like me this is one of the best controllers out there to start with. I did my research and many sources proved this to be a great start. Even though its small the apperance is very catchy and the buttons and knobs are well made. Very easy to understand . Best part is its compatible with almost any DJ software out there. I currently use it with 'Mixxx' and works perfect . Overall it is a fascinating controller and in my opinion since this controller is very limited to its physical controls as it only has the most basic controls it definately requires much skill to be able to create smooth mixes. Im an edm DJ and with this contoller I can come up with creative techniques and moves and much more to make this simple and basic controller work as if it was a professional one . I definately recommend this one to any DJs who want to begin their passion of DJing or for intermediate DJs who wish to have this as a backup or to keep it for small parties so the setups arent a hassle. I love this product !!! Have fun if you decide to get it and last thing i promise ... Just so you can see what this thing can do check out my mixes at Mixcloud.com/DJJavii and see how good it can perform :)
