2-deck DJ controller with audio outputs

Review: The Hercules DJ Control AIR is a 2-deck DJ controller with 2 pressure sensitive jog wheels, 8 velocity sensitive pads and the exclusive AIR contact-less control module for complete control over mix, sync and effects. Touch sensitive jog wheels provide intuitive switching between scratch, pitch bend and browsing within tracks. The 8 velocity sensitive pads control the sampler, loops and effects. Pads can be set as on/off or gradual controls and the inner backlight shows pad activation.

The Hercules AIR control is a contact-less sensor that lets you control features with a wave of your hand and works under all lighting conditions. It features on on-board sound card with a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo mini jack for the main output and a 1/4" stereo headphone jack for cue/preview.

The DJ Control AIR is the first DJ controller for computers featuring touch and air control AIR or adjustment by infraRed is a totally new control for computer DJ mixing consoles. The infrared proximity sensor built into the unit lets DJs control their choice of function (volume level, effects, etc.) without touching the controller, simply by moving their outstretched hand above the sensor. It's like there's magic in the air when performing a set. The AIR control functions regardless of the ambient lighting, allowing users to modulate a software setting quickly and intuitively no matter where they are entertaining.

Thanks to its 2 pressure-detecting jog wheels, the DJ Control AIR is perfect for scratching. The jog wheels, each 4" in diameter, detect the pressure exerted by the user's hand. As a result, the feeling when scratching is as natural as when scratching on a vinyl record or a CD turntable, ideal for learning and perfecting scratch techniques, just like on professional DJ hardware. The jog wheels also allow for easy control of the pitch bend function, as well as browsing through playlists.

In the style of celebrity DJs, Hercules have included 2 sets of 4 progressive pads for users looking to control sounds with a minimum of gestures. These pads transmit a command and its velocity, to control loops, samples or effects. Just tap your finger on a pad to play an effect, for example: the pad lights up when touched, and transmits not only the on/off command, but a gradual command as well. This lets the user easily vary the attack of a sound sample, or its volume, or modulate the amplitude of an effect. The backlit pads, along with the lighting on the other controls, allow for easy viewing even in low-light or dark conditions.

Taking a great leap forward in the world of mixing, Hercules have created an intuitive ensemble of controls on a unique mobile control surface. These controls have typically been only available to seasoned musicians via multiple controllers, each of which is programmable and/or dedicated to a specific function. The DJ Control AIR also features built-in audio outputs.

The Hercules AIR control is a contact-less sensor that lets you control features with a wave of your hand and works under all lighting conditions. It features an on-board sound card with a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo mini jack for the main output and a 1/4" stereo headphone jack for cue/preview.

The DJ Control AIR is the first DJ controller for computers featuring touch and air control or adjustment by infrared. The infrared proximity sensor built into the unit lets DJs control their choice of function (volume level, effects, etc) without touching the controller, simply by moving their outstretched hand above the sensor. It's like there's magic in the air when performing a set. The AIR control functions regardless of the ambient lighting, allowing users to modulate a software setting quickly and intuitively no matter where they are.

Thanks to its 2 pressure-detecting jog wheels, the DJ Control AIR is perfect for scratching. The jog wheels, each 4" in diameter, detect the pressure exerted by the user's hand. As a result, the feeling when scratching is as natural as when scratching on a vinyl record or CD turntable, ideal for learning and perfecting scratch techniques, just like on professional DJ hardware. The jog wheels also allow for easy control of the pitch bend function, as well as browsing through playlists.

Hercules have also included 2 sets of 4 progressive pads for users looking to control sounds with a minimum of gestures. These pads transmit a command and its velocity, to control loops, samples or effects. Just tap your finger on a pad to play an effect, for example: the pad lights up when touched, and transmits not only the on/off command, but a gradual command as well. This lets the user easily vary the attack of a sound sample, or its volume, or modulate the amplitude of an effect. The backlit pads, along with the lighting on the other controls, allow for easy viewing even in low-light or dark conditions.

Taking a great leap forward in the world of mixing, Hercules have created an intuitive ensemble of controls on a unique mobile control surface. These controls have typically only been available to seasoned musicians via multiple controllers, each of which is programmable and/or dedicated to a specific function. The DJ Control AIR also features built-in audio outputs.

Review: The Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol X1 Performance DJ controller stands out with exceptionally high quality workmanship.

With meticulous attention to detail, the knobs and buttons have been designed for maximum accuracy and precision in both appearance and tactility. With its slim, yet super-sturdy construction, the Native Instruments X1 is your companion in any DJing situation. The optional transport bag not only serves to securely transport the unit, but can be turned into a stand that puts X1 at exactly the same height as standard mixers and other DJ hardware.

Review: The Novations Dicer DJ controller is an ultra-compact controller for Digital DJs, that fits directly onto the turntable, CDJ, mixer or laptop. It has been designed with Serato to integrate into their Scratch Live Digital Vinyl System. It also works with Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Pro and any other software using standard MIDI messages.

The Novation Dicer has 5 dice pads which can be used to set and trigger Serato's hot cues, auto loop and loop roll functions, with multicoloured LEDs behind each pad to show what mode you are in. There are also freely assignable layers of controls which allow you to control whatever you want, including triggering samples, effects or even navigating through track libraries and crates. When using other software, a pair of Dicers allow up to 60 MIDI controls between them.

The Novation Dicer ships with a mounting which enables it to sit firmly in the 45" adapter hole of a Technics 1200/1210 (and other compatible turntables). The box also contains DJ Putty which sticks the units firmly to any flat surface including CDJs, mixers or laptops at any angle.

The Dicer works straight out of the box with no driver-installation or set-up required. They ship in pairs and require only one usb socket for power, the second Dicer links to the first by means of a (supplied) mini-jack cable for the simplest of set-ups.

USB MIDI controller with 8 x 8 grid of backlit, multi-colour touch sensitive pads, designed for Ableton Live 8

Review: The Novation Launchpad is a unique controller for Ableton Live. Jointly designed by Novation and Ableton, the Launchpad is a 8 x 8 grid of backlit, multi-colour touch sensitive pads, purpose built for triggering and manipulating clips in Ableton Live. Thanks to multiple MIDI control layers, the touch sensitive grid can instantly be switched so each line of pads can be used as channel faders in Live's mixer. It also set-up for controlling pans, FX sends, track arming and soloing or muting clips, channels or scenes. Dedicated controls allow you to scroll around all your clips, with instant visual feedback of current settings. In addition, because it is completely customisable in terms of operation, each button on each layer can be assigned to whatever function you need. You can assign the bottom row of buttons as the crossfader, or even split the pad into a drum machine for creating beats and triggering samples in real time, mpc-style.

This extremely versatile controller comes with Novation Automap software, making it universally compatible with most major MIDI software applications and Vst's. Multiple units can be used in unison, with the ability to connect up to 3 Launchpads at a time. And each unit comes with a custom Launchpad version of Ableton Live software, with an additional 1GB of high quality samples courtesy of loopmasters. The Novation Launchpad controller is quite possibly the most innovative and functional USB/MIDI control device in its class.

Portable DJ controller + virtual DJ LE Lite

Review: DJs love to perform but it isn't always easy to set something up on a moment's notice. Most DJ software controllers are designed to save DJs from having to lug around crates of vinyl or CDs. Just grab your laptop loaded with your music library, bring your controller and you're off to the gig. However, even the smallest DJ controllers range from being luggable to requiring their own set of wheels. Numark has changed all that with DJ2GO. Now for the first time ever, DJs can throw their entire rig into a backpack and have room to spare.

The Numark DJ2GO is a portable, affordable and highly capable DJ controller that allows you to control your favorite DJ software with a tactile feel that can't be matched using a computer mouse and keyboard. The Numark DJ2GO weighs just 13 oz. but provides a layout familiar to DJs that includes 2 platters, a crossfader, pitch and level controls as well as deck A, deck B, master and headphone gain controls. In addition, you can load and assign tracks to either of the 2 included deck control sections without ever touching a mouse. Sync and headphone buttons allow you to instantly sync 2 tracks and monitor either deck section.

Included with the Numark DJ2GO is a special edition of Virtual DJ software, designed to mate perfectly with the capabilities of the controller, so you can pick up DJ2GO and literally start performing on the spot. Because it is MIDI-compliant, the Numark DJ2GO can be used easily with virtually any DJ software by simply re-mapping the controls in the applicable application. You need only to connect the included USB cable to your Mac or PC and install the software to be up and running.
