Tweet

There you are, standing lord over throngs of gyrating partygoers enveloped in thumping turbo beats and splashed in velvety lights. Your hands feverishly move between turntables with the grace of a surgeon as you skillfully combine track after track, effortlessly manipulating the volume and speed of each song to create a blissfully concentric mash of melody and verse. OK, so at least that’s how it’s in your head. If you want to get your own taste of the DJ life, the purveyors of pump at Hercules have just the thing with their newly released Hercules DJ Control MP3e2.

According to the folks at Hercules, this new DJ controller is designed for teens and adults who want to experience the feeling of being a Pro DJ, or anyone enthralled with the world of DJing, digital music and the latest remixes. With the MP3e2 you can create your own mixes in a heartbeat and be well on your way to your own rave. The unit features two decks on which to mix the music tracks and since it’s nice and dainty you can take it just about anywhere.

The DJ Control MP3e2 controller is specifically designed to facilitate the mixing of MP3′s. It’s not exactly what I would call a self-contained DJ system since you do need a computer equipped with a sound card, amplified speakers, and, of course, the MP3s. Overall, the MP3e2 offers a nice selection of functions including two mixing decks, two jog wheels, one cross fader and two volume faders for mixing two music tracks together. You also get track speed controls for changing the pitch or tempo of your tracks. You can manipulate with reckless abandon using the integrated equalizer controls, add automatic loops, multiple effects and even your own signature sounds.

Hercules Portable DJ Controller MP3e2 is both Mac and PC compatible and works with most digital music formats including CCD, MP3, WAV, WMA, and AAC. It is expected to become available sometime in October 2009 at Musician’s Friend, ZZounds, B&H Photo, Six Star DJ and PSSL.com.
