An intuitive and fast DJ mixing controller for use with PCs, 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.
The Hercules DJ Control MP3 is perfect for digital DJs and music fans right across the board:
Compact and portable, the DJ Control MP3 is a dual-deck controller for mixing MP3s, WAVs, WMA etc on a PC.
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.
All you need to get the most out of DJ Control MP3 ia a computer equipped with a 5.1 sound card, amplified speakers and your favourite music (whether CD-Audio, MP3, WAV or WMA files).
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 atmosphere 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!
Connected to a PC’s USB port, DJ Control MP3 and its bundled software, VirtualDJ 3 DJ Control Edition give aspiring or amateur home DJs the ability to create their own real-time live music mixes and compilations right on their desktop/laptop PC, perfecting their skills faster than with vinyl.

MIDI Control
Most music software incorporating MIDI control features a “learning” mode, allowing the user to assign specific functions to individual buttons and so on. MIDI control makes using music software much easier and far more enjoyable by giving users tactile control of all their favourite functions.

- 28 fixed MIDI messages, via the DJ Control MP3’s 28 buttons.
