Whether on your smartphone or your laptop, when you’re traveling, while you’re out and about (on your own, or with friends), music is your constant companion: it’s a part of you. So turn your passion into a perfect mix with the ideal ecosystem for all connected DJs: the Hercules Universal DJ controller. Thanks to built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, you can even mix using your smartphone or tablet. Your adventure starts right here and now: say hello to total freedom, with no constraints. Compatible with laptops, smartphones, and tablets alike, the Universal DJ boasts all the right features for a high-level DJ performance. Its two smooth-feeling jog wheels feature a high-quality brushed metal surface, with track controls for play/pause, cue, sync, and shift. Each deck features eight pads with four modes: hot-cue, FX, sample, and loop, while a rotary encoder modulates the FX and adapts the loop size. Dual pitch faders set each deck’s playback speed, while 3-band EQs polish your sound to perfection. You also get a global crossfader and separate headphones volume control. The Universal DJ is ready to go as soon as you unbox it, thanks to the included DJUCED software. This feature-rich DJ software includes a powerful modular interface, a full suite of effects, loops, hot cues, beat jumps, and multilayer samples, plus synchronization of up to four decks, slip mode, and multiple quantize modes. DJUCED enables you to record yourself, save it, then effortlessly share it on Mixcloud or Soundcloud. It also includes direct access to Beatport LINK, enabling you to stream over nine million tracks directly into DJUCED. The Eris E7 XT builds on the Eris XT-series adding big, controlled bass in a compact form that will fit into a studio of nearly any size. Deep lows and a wide, more controlled sweet spot (thanks to its EBM waveguide design).
