The Hercules Inpulse 500 features a stunning and durable design, with a high-performance sturdy metal backing plate and extendable feet for ergonomics.

The device is quickly powered by USB, and it comes with outputs for speakers, DJ headphones connectors, and even a microphone too. It doesn’t matter whether you turn the filter knob left or right, it increases the intensity of the effect depending upon how far away from 12 o’clock you are, which feels a bit weird. One thing I really liked was the big, lit “1” and “2” numbers top-right of the jogwheels on each deck, to show you when the deck is “live”.In what is becoming a reoccurring theme of the Inpulse 500, the outputs outweigh expectation of an entry-level controller. Anyway, it can be necessary to Install Hercules drivers for Firmware update and/or benefits performance ASIO Audio Drivers for Windows.

One of the most unique features is the Intelligent Music Assistant which provides suggestions for upcoming tracks, allowing you to focus on your mixing. The Intelligent Music Assistant (IMA) in DJUCED suggests well-suited upcoming tracks to be played from your music library, and in Beatport LINK and Beatsource LINK as well. Probably among the top picks for an entry level DJ hardware - it has everything you would need and possibly even a bit more.I guess most importantly you get proper pad function, with Tone Play, loop roll, slicer and so on all present and correct. The lights inform the DJ that the track needs either speeding up or slowing down to match the master deck.

Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged 18+, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. Quick and easy to open and close, with a handy zipper, you can go anywhere with your DJControl Inpulse 500 controller! Beginner controllers usually feature no inputs or at best a microphone that’s not routed through the mixer at all.The Intelligent Music Assistant helps to pick out the best song to fit the one that’s playing, allowing you to focus on your mixing. If it occurs again, please try the WASAPI mode (DJC I 500 is system compliant, so it can work without drivers in WASAPI mode), to see if the issue still occurs in WASAPI, not only in ASIO. In the most recent system, the microphone section has dedicated filters for high and low frequencies.
