you place your hand on the top of the jog wheel.
Shift+Vinyl: In DJUCED
®
, turning the jog wheel using the ring on its edge in
Shift+Vinyl mode creates a Beatjump effect.
Slip: mode which plays the track at its normal speed in the background; at the end
of a scratch, it returns to the point where you would have been if you hadn't
scratched, thereby keeping the track's original phrasing.
- Serato DJ Lite does not include Slip mode, while Serato DJ Pro does include
Slip mode.
- DJUCED
®
includes Slip mode.
Quantize: mode which lines up actions with marks on the beat grid, in order to
synchronize the triggering of a sample or the placement of a cue point with the
rhythm of the track.
- Serato DJ Lite does not include Quantize mode, while Serato DJ Pro does
include Quantize mode.
- DJUCED
®
includes Quantize mode.
Shift+Quantize: in Serato, Shift+Quantize changes the pitch scale (for example:
+8%, +16%, +50%).
Tempo controls (pitch/BPM)
Tempo fader (pitch fader): adjusts the playback speed of the track.
Shift+tempo guide: in Serato, you can move the tempo fader without changing the
speed, to shift the tempo scale (for example, switch from a tempo scale of -8% –
+8% to 0 – +16%).
Tempo guide: glowing arrows indicating the direction in which you should move the
tempo fader in order to play the track at the same BPM as the track on the other
deck.
Sync button: instantly adjusts the speed of the track to match the BPM value of the
track being played on the other deck.
- In DJUCED
®
, Sync locks the BPM value of the “slave” track to that of the
“master” track continuously.
- In Serato, Sync is a one-off action: the BPM value is instantly adjusted, but
not locked to that of the other track being played.
Transport buttons
Play/Pause: plays the track/pauses playback.
Cue: when stopped, inserts a marker at the current point in the track / during
playback, moves playback to this location.
Shift: use this button in conjunction with other buttons — for example, Shift+Cue =
return to the start; Shift+Hot Cue = erases the hot cue; Shift+Sample = stops
playback of the sample…

3-band equalization: lets you adjust the HIGH (treble), MID (medium) and LOW
(bass) frequencies on each deck.
Mixing
Volume fader: adjusts the volume for virtual decks 1 and 2.
Crossfader: adjusts the mix of the sound between decks 1 and 2.
Crossfader curve: switch that lets you select between 3 different modes for the
crossfader curve:
- Mix = progressive mixing of the 2 decks.
- Scratch = very fast mixing of the two decks.
- Off = crossfader disabled (to mix using the volume faders only).
Deck VU-meters
VU-meter with 9 levels for each deck.
Filter/FX
Filter: low-pass filter and high-pass filter on each deck, enabled when FX1, 2, 3 and
4 are off.
FX1 to FX4 buttons: applies effects FX1 to FX4 (modulated via the Filter knob) on
deck 1 or 2.
- In DJUCED
®
, FX1, 2, 3 and 4 are selected in Settings > Mixer.
- In Serato, FX1, 2 and 3 are the effects loaded on the slots for the virtual decks,
while FX4 lets you activate the Beats setting to assign to the effects.
Monitoring
The buttons with a headphones symbol on them let you play the sound from the
corresponding deck on your headphones, when the Cue/Master knob (for the
headphones) is set to Cue mode.
5.4. Hardware mixing: inputs and outputs
Microphone input
MIC VOL: controls the microphone volume (hardware adjustment).
Light ring:
off = no audio signal / green = audio signal / red = audio signal
saturation.
2-band EQ: lets you adjust the HIGH (treble) and LOW (bass) frequencies for the
microphone.
Aux (auxiliary) input
AUX VOL: controls the volume for the Aux input (hardware adjustment).
Light ring:
off = no audio signal / green = audio signal / red = audio signal
saturation.
AUX FILTER: filter for the Aux input.
Master output
MASTER VOL: controls the master volume (hardware adjustment).
VU-meter: displays the volume level on the Master output (two RCA outputs, and
two 1/4” / 6.35 mm mono jack outputs).
Button with headphones icon: plays the Master output on your headphones.
Headphones output
Cue/Master knob: adjusts the signal being played on your headphones between Cue
for monitoring upcoming tracks (decks 1 and 2, depending on the function selected
using the two buttons above the volume faders), and the Master output.
Headphones volume: adjusts the volume for the headphones output.
5.5. Multichannel sound card
The controller features a built-in multichannel sound card, allowing you to:
- Play your mix on speakers for the audience (Master output);
- Monitor the next track that you’re preparing on your headphones
(headphones output);
- Use a microphone and/or a device featuring a line level output as an
audio source.
1. Speakers on the Master output (= outputs 1-2)
Your speakers must be connected to one of the two stereo speakers
outputs located on the controller’s rear panel: 2 x RCA, or 2 x 1/4” / 6.35
mm mono jack.
2. Headphones (= outputs 3-4)
Your headphones must be connected to one of the two
headphones outputs (1/8” / 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack, or 1/4” /
6.35 mm stereo jack) located on the controller’s front panel.
By default, the headphones output is assigned to channels 3-4 for
monitoring tracks in all DJ software — including Serato DJ Lite and
DJUCED
®
.
However, to listen to music played by non-DJ software such as iTunes,
Media Player or VLC on your headphones, you must play the Master
output on your headphones by pressing the button with a headphones
icon below the Master VU-meter.
Microphone (= Mic/Aux 1-2 input)
Connect the microphone to the Mic In input (1/4” / 6.35 mm jack) located
on the controller’s rear panel.
The microphone input is balanced (or symmetrical), allowing you to
connect either a balanced or unbalanced microphone. The advantage of
using a balanced microphone is that it provides better sound, with less
breathing noise and other noise.
Auxiliary (= Mic/Aux 1-2 input)
Connect an auxiliary audio source such as a smartphone or CD player to
the Aux In inputs on the controller’s rear panel (2 x RCA inputs, and 1 x
1/8” / 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack input).
6. Drivers and control panel
DJControl Inpulse 500 is a USB Audio and USB MIDI plug and play DJ
controller, and can function without drivers in the DJUCED
®
software — in
both Windows
®
and macOS
®
. Nevertheless, it comes with a pack including
drivers and a control panel, allowing you to get the most out of your
controller.
6.1. ASIO drivers (for Windows
®
)
A pack of drivers including the ASIO drivers is available on the Hercules
support website (https://support.hercules.com): ASIO lets you reduce the
audio latency compared with WASAPI mode in Windows
®
, which is useful
for scratching.
In Windows
®
, the Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 control panel lets you
adjust the ASIO buffer size, thereby adjusting the latency.
The procedure to adjust the ASIO settings is as follows:
- First, set the USB buffer size to Standard (4 ms).
- Select an ASIO buffer size, for example 256 Samples (4 ms).
- Start up your DJ software (Serato DJ Lite or DJUCED
®
).
- In DJUCED
®
, select the DJControl Inpulse 500 ASIO (ASIO) audio
device:
Once the software has loaded the ASIO device, the ASIO settings in the
control panel can no longer be modified.
If you hear clipping, clicks or crackling in the DJ software’s audio, the
latency must be adjusted by increasing the buffer size. In that case, close
the DJ software and adjust the ASIO buffer by one value in each test:
- Reduce the buffer size to decrease the latency.
- Increase the buffer size in the event of audio clipping or artefacts.
Repeat this procedure until you have found an optimal buffer size for your
system.
6.2. Updating the firmware
The drivers for the DJControl Inpulse 500 update the controller’s
firmware: if the Hercules DJ drivers are installed and up to date, they will
display instructions onscreen explaining how to update the firmware, if
necessary.
The drivers are available at https://support.hercules.com
The control panel displays the version of the firmware on the controller
and the drivers installed on your computer, in the ABOUT tab. Please have
this information ready if you need to contact Hercules’ technical support
team.
6.3. Testing the DJ controller in the control panel
The DJControl Inpulse 500 control panel lets you test the audio, MIDI and
lighting for the DJ controller (in the ABOUT tab).
Audio test
To test the DJ controller’s audio, click the speaker icon in the bottom left-
hand corner of the control panel: the icon turns green during the test, and
the program plays a sound on the controller’s outputs (for the speakers
and headphones).
MIDI test
Press the buttons that you want to test on the DJ controller: if the DIN
connector icon (with 5 dots) in the bottom left-hand corner of the control
panel turns green, it means that a MIDI command is being received.
Lighting test
Click the light bulb icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the control
panel, to light up the controller’s LEDs: when the icon is green, the LEDs
are lit up.
6.4. Disabling the audio input
The Microphone and Auxiliary audio input is enabled by default via
hardware mixing (i.e. without going through the DJ software being used).
If you wish to disable the input, click the icon representing the MIC and
AUX IN input (linked to output 1-2).
A red X appears on this icon if the sound from the input is no longer being
played on output 1-2.
7. Demo mode
This mode is a light show that starts up automatically when you connect
the controller to a USB power supply. In this case, the DJ controller is not
operational, but is in demo mode: a demo sequence keeps on repeating
itself.
8. Tips and tricks
8.1. Switching on all of the LEDs
Press the Loop In and Loop Out buttons on decks 1 and 2.
8.2. Switching on/switching off the 4 LEDs under the
controller’s feet
Press pads 1 and 5 on deck 1, along with pads 4 and 8 on deck 2.
8.3. In Serato DJ Lite
Changing the tempo scale (from 8% to 16% or 50%)
Press the Shift + Quant buttons.
Moving the tempo scale while maintaining the same precision
Enable Sync mode on the virtual deck, press the Shift button and move
the tempo fader: the software stops following the tempo fader’s
movement while the Shift button is held down, and resumes following its
direction of movement when the Shift button is released.
Example: switching from a tempo scale of -8% – +8% to +8% – +24%.
1) Enable Sync.
2) Move the tempo fader completely to the bottom (+8%).
3) Press the Shift button and move the tempo fader completely to
the top: the software remains at +8%.
4) Release the Shift button: the minimum position (at the very top)
gives you a tempo at +8%, while the maximum position (at the
very bottom) is at +24%.
9. FAQs
9.1. No sound is coming out of my headphones.
Make sure that you have connected your headphones at the front of the
controller: headphones must not be connected anywhere else.
By default, monitoring of the two virtual decks is enabled when the
software is first launched. You can then select either deck that you want
to listen to on your headphones, or the Master output.
9.2. No sound is coming out of my speakers.
Make sure that you have connected your speakers to the 2 x RCA, or 2 x
1/4” / 6.35 mm jack connectors on the controller’s rear panel.
9.3. No sound is coming out of my laptop computer
speakers.
The controller has been designed to play music via its built-in audio
interface, and not via a laptop computer’s speakers.
In Serato DJ Lite, you must connect the speakers to the DJControl Inpulse
500.
In DJUCED
®
, if you want to use the speakers built into your laptop
computer, select the SEND THE MASTER TO THE SPEAKERS option in
the DJUCED
®
audio settings.
9.4. No sound is coming out of my headphones, or my laptop
computer speakers.
The controller has been designed to play music via its built-in audio
interface, and not via a laptop computer’s headphones output or speakers.
In Serato DJ Lite, you must connect the speakers and the headphones to
the DJControl Inpulse 500.
In DJUCED
®
, if you want to use the speakers built into your laptop
computer, select the SEND THE MASTER TO THE SPEAKERS option in
the DJUCED
®
audio settings. Then, connect your headphones to
headphones output on your DJControl Inpulse 500. On a laptop computer,
the headphones output plays the same signal as the built-in speakers:
therefore, you will not be able to monitor upcoming tracks on your
headphones if the headphones are connected to your laptop computer.
9.5. I can’t connect my active speakers to my DJ controller.
If your speakers’ connectors differ from the connectors on the DJ
controller, you can use:
- A dual RCA to 1/8” / 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack cable (not included)
to connect multimedia speakers; or
- Two XLR to 1/4” / 6.35 mm jack cables to connect PA speakers; or
- Any other format corresponding to your speakers.
You can test out your multimedia speakers by connecting them to the
headphones output on your DJControl Inpulse 500. Play the sound of the
mix on the headphones output by pressing the button with the
headphones symbol in the Master area on the DJ controller.
9.6. How can I connect the DJ controller to a USB-C port, or
a Thunderbolt 3 port?
You can connect the DJ controller to a USB-C (or Thunderbolt 3) port in 3
different ways:
- By using an adapter (male USB-C (or Thunderbolt 3) to female USB
type A) between the DJ controller and the computer. Please note
that some low-cost adapters will not work properly, as they cut off a
part of the power supply.
- By using a USB-C (or Thunderbolt 3) dock between the computer
and the DJ controller. Make sure that the dock has a dedicated
power supply, as a dock powered only via the USB-C (or
Thunderbolt 3) port may not have enough power.
- By replacing the included USB cable with a USB-C (or Thunderbolt
3) to USB 2 type B cable.
