Hercules P32 DJ Controller with High Performance Pads

Description

The P32 DJ Controller from Hercules is a compact and intuitive DJ software controller designed for the producer/DJ of electronic music and who wish to mix and remix tracks on the fly, add samples, loops, and create high energy performances. The controller easily connects to a Windows or Mac computer in seconds and features a dual-deck layout each with 16 dynamic performance pads, three dedicated FX engine controls, and dedicated filter/loop controls. In between the decks lays a 2-channel mixer with level fader, 3 band AEQ, and a single crossfader. The dynamic performance pads offer power controls over hot cues, loops, the slicer, and the sampler. The internal soundcard features RCA main outputs for connecting the P32 to a PA system, and a separate 1/4" headphone output for monitoring and track cueing.

Also included in this package is Hercules' DJuced 40° DJ software for Mac and Windows. DJuced software delivers intuitive yet powerful DJ mixing features for both novice and experienced DJs alike. Mix tracks automatically, manipulate tracks with filters and effects, and record mixes into software to share and upload. The bus-powered P32 ships with a USB cable.

Performance Pad Modes

• HotCues
• Add or Delete up to 16 HotCues on the fly
• Loop
• There are two loop behaviours with Slip Mode:
• Slip Mode Off: Build a loop, let it repeat. When you stop the Loop, the track continues playing after the Loop
• Slip Mode On: Build one or more loops. When you stop the Loop, the track immediately jumps back to the original position in the timeline where the track would have been if it had continued playing. This is a great way to play Loops without losing the phrasing of your track
• Slicer
• Slicer mode splits an active loop into 8 Slices
• The size of the Slicer area is determined by the deck’s selected loop size
• Slices are triggered in real time: you jump between the 8 different sections of an active loop
• Once a Slice is triggered, looping will start within the selected Slice for as long as the pad is pressed
• Playback continues within the loop when no Pad is pressed
• Sampler
• This sampler lets you play using 4 Samplers per deck
• Each sampler has 4 layers, so you can load up to 16 samples per deck
• Each sample player can be individually set to Loop or Trigger mode (quantised or unquantised), and volume controlled
