Hercules DJ Control Inpulse 2MK3

The Essentials to Know About the Hercules DJControl Inpulse DJ Controller (USB-C)

• Ideal for Beginners: 2-deck "standard mixing" interface, immediate hands-on use with Serato DJ Lite and DJUCED.


• Guided Beatmatch: dynamic light guides to learn manual tempo and beat matching without being glued to the screen.


• Stems for Remixing: vocal and instrument separation to create mashups, creative transitions, and live edits.


• Ready-to-Play Sound: built-in sound card (Master output for speakers + headphone output for pre-listening) and virtual sound card for streaming your sets.

A Controller Designed to Learn "Like on Real Gear"

This Hercules controller follows a simple philosophy: to give you references and good habits from the very first sessions while maintaining ergonomics close to the most common DJ setups. With its 2-deck format, jogwheels, and performance pads, it incorporates the fundamentals found in studios, parties, and clubs, allowing you to progress without having to relearn everything later.

The USB-C connection to PC/Mac simplifies setup: plug in, launch your software, and you can quickly move from learning to the real pleasure of playing clean mixes, scratches, and simple remixes.

Who Is This DJ Controller For and In What Contexts Does It Make a Difference?

It is primarily aimed at beginner DJs and developing DJs who want to understand tempo matching, work on synchronization by ear and touch, and develop solid automatic skills. The light guides are especially useful for those who want to learn manual beatmatching step by step, without relying solely on the Sync button.

In terms of use, it is an excellent companion for home mixing, small parties, preparing dynamic playlists, and streaming performances. With the Master output for speakers and headphone output for pre-listening, you get a true "DJ" logic: listen on headphones, prepare your transition, then send the track at the right moment.

Stems, Performance, Streaming: A Modern Controller to Go Further

The great strength of this model is combining learning with very current features. The stems allow you to separate a track into elements (vocals on one side, instruments on the other) to try ideas that immediately sound "pro": for example, placing the vocals from track A over the instruments of track B, or gradually bringing in the instruments of the next track while the vocals of the current track continue.

The decks section adopts a complete workflow: Play, Cue, Sync, Shift controls, jogwheels for nudging and scratching, and 2 banks of 4 pads per deck with 4 modes (hot-cue, fx, loop, sampler). Enough to work on your reference points, enrich your transitions, and trigger effects without breaking the set's energy. The tempo faders help you learn precise tempo placement, supported by the tempo guide lights indicating where to position the fader.

The Beat Align adds a very concrete reference: it indicates the direction to turn the jogwheel to realign the track. Result: you keep your hands on the controller, develop the right gesture, and gain confidence faster, even when the pressure rises.

This controller is compatible with DJUCED (Hercules DJ software) and Serato DJ Lite. DJUCED notably offers an assistant that suggests suitable tracks to stay inspired and maintain musical coherence. Serato DJ Lite, on the other hand, puts you into the Serato ecosystem, with features designed to learn mixing and scratching, and includes 2 weeks of Serato DJ Pro license to explore a more advanced environment.

To diversify your music sources, you can mix via compatible services such as Beatport LINK, Beatsource LINK, SoundCloud Go+, and TIDAL (and Apple Music within Serato DJ). You also benefit from Hercules Official Music for royalty-free tracks to mix on any platform. Finally, the virtual sound card simplifies broadcasting: it creates a link between the controller's master output and the audio input of your broadcast application to stream your performances more easily.
