collapse expand iconDescription

The Hercules DJControl Starlight is an innovative DJ controller designed for use with Serato DJ software. This compact yet full-featured controller is perfect for novice DJs and producers looking to craft remixes and mashups on a budget. With an intuitive layout, high-resolution jog wheels and performance pads, the DJControl Starlight makes it easy to cue tracks, trigger samples and manipulate beats in real time.

High-Resolution Jog Wheels Provide Precise Track Control

At the heart of the DJControl Starlight are two high-resolution jog wheels that allow for seamless track navigation and scratching. The touch-sensitive jog wheels offer a natural feel, with adjustable tension for different mixing styles. Use the jog wheels to accurately cue tracks, adjust BPM, scratch and bend pitch for professional-sounding blends and transitions.

16 RGB Performance Pads Unleash Your Creativity

Unleash your creativity with 16 velocity-sensitive RGB performance pads. Easily trigger samples, loops and sound effects on the fly. The performance pads are highly responsive, with adjustable sensitivity to suit your mixing preferences. Their dynamic RGB lighting provides visual feedback as you play, pulsing to the beat of the music. Map the performance pads to control pitch bend, loops, cues and more for an interactive DJing experience.

Comprehensive, Intuitive Control Surface

Despite its portable size, the DJControl Starlight features a comprehensive control surface with an intuitive layout. Dedicated buttons provide quick access to loading tracks, setting/releasing loops, enabling key lock and toggling quantize. Rotary knobs control low, mid and high EQ bands, letting you shape tracks to your liking. A crossfader and channel volume faders provide smooth control over mixing levels. The DJControl Starlight works seamlessly with Serato DJ software for a professional DJing solution in a compact, affordable package.

    I was looking for a portable, yet powerful solution to my full-size Rane One. This does not disappoint at all. It includes Serato Dj Lite, but can be upgraded to Pro version for that extra umph. I like the build quality and features, such as scratching pads and lights for bpm.

  • Very cool controller

    Mapped itself to Virtual DJ instantly with no problem. For what this does, it's perfect. I would never use this as a stand alone mixer, but would be an amazing backup and great for ceremonies. No ability to plug in a mic and no load buttons.

    Compared to the Numark DJ2GO2 Touch this product is better suited for my mixing style. I enjoy the effect pads, filter option, and durable controller knobs with buttons. To help load tracks I use a mouse since the Starlight doesn't have a browser scrolling option. That's the only issue compared to the Numark DJ2GO2 Touch. I own both and the Starlight has more flexibility to mix open format music with dropping the bass, effects, and feeling like you're mixing on an actual bigger controller. Thanks Hercules for making his product.

    I honestly loved this thing and it was a perfect size for playing small shows and practicing. Though after 3 weeks of light use the crossfader stopped with, right in the middle of a show. I tried everything and still no luck, completely worthless. It is a shame too because this had a ton of potential. I hope no one makes the same mistake I did, buy another product.

  • Nice little controller!
