Hercules DJ Control MP3 USB Controller

Manufacturer's Description for Hercules DJ Control MP3 USB Controller

The DJ Control MP3 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.

Simple and practical to use!
A computer equipped with a sound card, amplified speakers and your favorite music (whether CD-Audio or MP3, WAV or WMA files): that's all you need to get the most out of DJ Control MP3!

Connected to a PC's USB port, DJ Control MP3 and its bundled software, VirtualDJ 3 DJ Control Edition, control mixing on your computer.

Compact and powered directly by the computer's USB port, DJ Control MP3 can be used with either a desktop or laptop computer, to mix your music anywhere you like! DJ Control MP3 can also be used to control other mixing software via MIDI commands sent to the computer.

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!
