HERCULES DJ CONTROL MP3 MIDI CONTROLLER
DJ Control MP3 from Hercules, the computer entertainment specialist, puts DJing within reach of the general public by offering everyone the fun of mixing the music they love!
An intuitive and fast DJ mixing controller for use with PC, DJ Control MP3 allows users to make their own mixes at home in a flash, as well as personalize their music and host great parties just like a real DJ by creating their own playlists!
With all of these features, DJ Control MP3 is the solution DJ mixing amateurs have been waiting for. Up until now, those interested in DJ mixing have been obliged to resort to semi-professional or professional DJ hardware, or use mixing software: software which requires practice and agility in order to progress beyond automatic mixing, with only a mouse and keyboard available to control the music.
“Hercules was the first to launch a portable dual-deck mixing controller with integrated audio, the DJ Console, allowing amateur DJs to mix music anywhere using only their computer,” explains François Garet, Development Director for the Hercules Music product line. “Thanks to the expertise we have acquired and the success of the DJ Console, and in light of the explosion in the popularity of MP3s, we are now reaching out to put DJing within reach of a much larger and more demanding cross-section of the public. Our new portable controller makes mixing easier by giving everyone the ability to have fun putting their own touch on their digital music. Those new to DJing can easily create their own unique mixes using the DJ Control MP3, while more experienced DJs can discover new sensations and create fantastic remixes at an even higher level.”
The DJ Control is similar to Hercules' DJ Console in every respect except that it does not have the built in USB Sound Card. This makes it perfect for anyone who already has a great laptop soundcard or wants to use a better sounding soundcard than what is built-in to the DJ Console (we recommend the Echo Indigo DJ). The DJ Control also has a cooler brushed aluminum finish & sturdier looking edges.

An instrument designed with you in mind.
Hercules DJ Control MP3 allows you to experience the real tactile sensations of DJing. With two jog wheels emulating two vinyl turntables, a cross fader slider and two volume sliders, eight EQ and pitch knobs and 28 action buttons, you can really heat things up at your parties!
Its ease of use frees you up from having to spend time linking up one song to the next and allows you to spend time focusing your attention on the ambience and personality you want to give to your music and your get-together. Effects, loops and changes in tempo let you adapt the music without any interruptions, modulate songs according to your taste, and put your own musical mark on the mixes you share with your audience!
