The Hercules DJControl Starlight is an ultra-portable USB DJ control surface designed to work with the included Serato DJ Lite software and is well suited for beginner DJs, home enthusiasts, or professional DJs on the go. The Starlight offers exclusive modes that work with Serato DJ Lite or Serato DJ Pro and offer all the key features required for learning to mix and scratch.
Two touch-responsive jog wheels allow for cueing and beat matching of their respective tracks, while the on-board crossfader and two volume knobs seamlessly mix the two tracks together. Each deck features a bass-EQ/filter that allows you to enhance the sound, while the available onboard Serato effects sweeten the mix. The controller is USB bus powered and equipped with four pads, each operating in four modes (hot-cue, loop, FX, & sampler) per deck. Additionally, the controller includes a built-in 24-bit / 44.1 kHz audio interface with separate master and headphone outputs. The DJControl Starlight ships with a USB cable.
