Description
The Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 is a professional 2-channel DJ controller ready to power your ambitions. Created for Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED software, the Inpulse 500 has everything needed to get started DJing, hone your skills and perform in front of audiences. With a sturdy metal chassis and slip-resistant feet, this DJ controller is built to withstand the rigors of frequent use and travel. The Inpulse 500's intuitive layout features large touch-sensitive jog wheels, 16 backlit RGB pads and dedicated filter and effects sections to craft seamless transitions and remixes on the fly.
Responsive Jog Wheels and RGB Pads
High-resolution jog wheels provide precise scratching and beatmatching control. RGB-backlit pads trigger hot cues, loops, rolls and slicer with visual feedback. Easily change pad color and mode to suit your preferences and style.
Dedicated Filter and Effects Sections

Helpful Light Guides Keep You on Beat
Innovative Beatmatch Guides provide visual cues to help match tempo and phase. Light trails move faster or slower based on differences in BPM, while phase meter shows if tracks are "in phase" or not. An Intelligent Music Assistant (IMA) suggests compatible tracks from your library to mix next.

Incredible Controller

Didn't know I was getting the features of the more expensive controllers. I was up and using the basic features in less than 24 hours! So simple but with so many features I haven't even learned all it can do. Well worth the investment, and then some! Definitely recommend it!
I love this controller

Since I've upgraded to the impulse 500, it's been a blast. There's so much you can do with it. In my opinion Hercules is that under dog that being slept on. I need to get a backup since I use it so much 🤙🏾
