About this deal

The knob features an LED light that illuminates beat match guiding, and DJUCED assistant access. There’s also a dedicated assistant button separately for DJUCED users, or you can use the same button to access AutoMix on Serato. Anyway, it can be necessary to Install Hercules drivers for Firmware update and/or benefits performance ASIO Audio Drivers for Windows.

Obviously, this does mean spending a little more, but it’s worth noting that a lot more controllers do work with Serato. This could mean that if you decide to change your controller as you develop new skills, you’ll be better off learning how to use Serato effectively early. The crossfader also comes with hardware controls built-in, so you can adjust the functionality as you mix. This is another feature we were surprised to see such an expensive function on a largely affordable device.

Multilayer Sampler is a powerful feature, please follow this guide to master them: https://www.djuced.com/guide-to-use-djuced-multilayer-samplers/ It is quite deep, too, which adds to the feeling of a substantial device – and then you discover the feet! There are four fold-out feet underneath the unit which when put into operation, add a good couple of inches to its height. They are sturdy and grippy, and raise the controller up pleasingly to add to the feeling that this is a large, serious unit. There are even understated but cool white LED lights underneath. Top marks here. The first thing we noticed about the Hercules Inpulse 500; is how wonderfully professional it looks. Quite solidly built, has practically every output and input type you may possibly want from DJ hardware of that price range and even a bit more (and you can`t state the same about any other controller for that price), and pretty much every feature you expect from a controller of that gauge. It even has a mic input with basic EQ function for it. The Hercules Inpulse 500 controller takes the standard beginner-entry devices from Hercules to the next level. In the most recent system, the microphone section has dedicated filters for high and low frequencies.

Having RGB lighting on the pads is a brilliant feature not often seen on a controller of this price point. However, due to the fact the controller is USB Bus-powered, these are sadly very dim. Although not a unique issue, with the Traktor S4 sharing the same problem. It does make us question whether Hercules should have considered bundling an external power supply. The Mixer Before connecting the Hercules DJ Control Inpulse 500, ensure you have the latest version of Serato installed on your computer, available here .
