Hercules DJ Console 4 MX USB DJ Controller Features

Large DJ station for mobile computer DJs

• 2-deck/4-deck metal DJ controller to mix 2 or 4 stereo audio tracks 
• 2 stereo out (for mixing and previewing) plus 2 stereo in (for analog gear) 
• Mobile metal controller: a large mixer (40x25cm) with included carry bag

2-deck and 4-deck control

• 2 shift buttons to turn deck A into deck C, and deck B into deck D 
• 2-deck for standard DJ mixes, when mixing 2 audio tracks 
• 4-deck mixing: double the controls when you mix 4 tracks

Large jog wheels with touch detection

• Same size as jog wheels on CD players
  • 12cm (4.7 inch) diameter: as large as a compact disc.
  • 1.9cm (0.75") height: as comfortable as on a CD player.
  • 2 large jog wheels you can’t miss.
• Touch detection via weight sensors
  • Weight sensors detect the user’s touch by detecting the hand’s weight, to activate scratch mode.
  • Detection of the hand’s weight activating the jog wheels’ touch control is:
  • - natural: like on vinyl turntables and high-end CD players.
  • - secure: no disturbance from static electricity.
  • - intuitive: no need to calibrate.
• Press down
  • The hand’s weight moves the jog wheels down by 1mm:
  • - press the jog wheel down: you feel that you’re scratching.
  • - move your hand up: you feel that you’ve released the jog wheel.

Jog wheels’ control over the DJ software

• While the track plays, you control the DJ software with 2 actions on the jog wheel:
  • - rotation, to control movement within the track.
  • - press down to control scratching.
• Thus, during audio track playback:
  • - Rotation without jog wheel press = pitch bend (like when you turn a turntable’s ring).
  • - Rotation with jog wheel press = scratch (like when you turn a vinyl record with your hand flat on the record).
  • - No rotation with jog wheel press = stop playback (like when you stop a vinyl record’s rotation with your hand).
  • - No rotation without jog wheel press = playback continues.
• Jog wheel accuracy
  • Rotation: 256 steps per revolution = 1.4 degrees per step.
  • Press down: <1mm travel.
