Expand Your Mixing Skills with Hercules DJControl Starlight and Inpulse 200 - Now DEX-3 Ready!

We’ve just wrapped up DEX 3 support for two Hercules DJ Controllers — the DJControl Startlight and DJControl Inpulse 200. Download the map files below!

As if our development team hasn’t been incredibly busy with the recent DEX 3.14 launch, they managed to sneak in a couple fresh Hercules DJ Controller maps.

By downloading and placing the map files (below) in the DJ Controller controllers folder, DEX 3 DJs will have plug-and-play support for the Hercules DJ Control Starlight and/or DJ Control Impulse 200. These are the latest supported DJ controllers by DEX 3, which now supports well over 100 DJ Controllers from the top DJ equipment manufacturer’s.

Hercules DJControl Starlight

Ultra-compact, ultra-light, ultra-practical and ultra-unique with its lights, the DJControl Starlight packs all the features needed to mix and scratch. With its built-in audio interface, the DJControl Starlight offers pre-listening in the headphones so you can then play your mix on speakers, which is perfect for learning or creating new mixes. The system is so comprehensive for its size that it boasts all the essential features such as bass equalization/filter knobs for smooth transitions or touch-sensitive jog wheels for easy scratching. The added bonus: the bright and powerful RGB backlighting with unique strobe effects to make it easier to learn how to mix.

Like the Numark DJ2GO2, the Hercules DJControl Starlight is a “throw it in your backpack and go” Controller that’s ideal for house parties and smaller mobile events. It even has a few bells and whistles not available with the aforementioned Numark DJ2GO2, as well. At a price-point of only $89.99 it’s at the very least a fantastic practice unit.

Hercules DJControl Inpulse 200

The DJControl Inpulse 200 has the industry-standard look like many other popular entry-level controllers on the market. It’s equipped with two decks with 8 performance pads per decks, touch-sensitive jog wheels, a 3 band EQ and filter on the mixer and a built-in audio interface with headphone pre-fade listening. It’s a step up from the Starlight, and will run you $119.99 at most online DJ equipment shops. Another small form controller that you can throw in a bag and hit the road with.
