Hercules DJControl Inpulse T7, 2 Deck Motorized DJ Controller with built in STEMS Control, Serato DJ and DJUCED included

La console si presenta bene, la sensazione dei jog motorizzati è davvero simile a quella di un normale 45 giri. Il fader premium è piuttosto buono. L'Unica pecca è il software incluso, djuced è completo ma ha un sistema di time stretch decisamente mediocre rispetto a serato, e serato lite ha troppe limitazioni rispetto al potenziale della console, però per questo prezzo, ci può stare.

I started DJ’ing about two years ago. I purchased the premium gold Inpulse 500. This was an excellent controller for a beginner. Needless to say, I was very excited when the T7 was announced. So I purchased standard T7 in December 2023. First, I was disappointed to find that Hercules released a premium gold version two months later in Canada, but it was too late for me to return the standard edition. I would have happily spent the extra $100 for the premium. My second issue is that the box was slightly damaged. I’m not sure if this had any effect on the controller. My third issue is that the crossfader is sticky. If the unit has been sitting, the first time I touch the cross fader requires consider force to move it. It’s almost as if it’s locked. I have to nudge it quite hard to loosen it. At first I thought, maybe I will buy Innofader upgrade. But then I see Hercules released their own performance crossfader, which also comes on premium gold T7. Again, not a good look Hercules. My next issue, is the biggest issue of all. The controller will randomly stop working. Audio works, but all lights/LED’s turn off. Effects, faders, paddles all stop working. I know the unit still has power because the platters are still spinning. The platters are the only thing that works. See attached video. How can I use this for gigs? I cannot trust that it will not shut down in the middle of my set. I’m not sure if I got a lemon/bad unit, but I am passed the return period, so I am stuck with it. I regret purchasing the T7. Very disappointing experience with T7, especially since Inpulse 500 was so good. Maybe the premium gold is better quality, but this standard version sucks. I should have spent extra few hundred dollars and got Rane1.

Everything was good. Delivery on time safe and sound. Product works great!

Crossfader of DJ got failed after few day of buying it . Never expected a product from amazon and Hercules. Had so much expectation from the product and put my hard earn money in it . Now regreting , never ever gonna trust in amazon now last purchase from this site .

i really wanted to put this thing through a lot of use before posting a review... and as of writing this, and using it steadily since i bought it, I can say that this amazing piece of DJ wizardry has taken everything I've thrown at it and more! Pros: Where do I start? Having been a turntablist for years and coming from a traditional 2 Technics 1200's and an Ecler HAK 360 mixer set up, i can't imagine going back (without some serious upgrades) to that as long as i have this. Being a scratch DJ, the most important question is "does it feel like real vinyl?" And the answer is a big YES! I've see the industry grow and adapt over the years and it was only a matter of time before something like this came along...and the road to get here, equipment wise, was a long and expensive one filled with disappointments, one after another. The CDJ thing never really worked and Serato Scratch Live eventually earned its place in the world of wax. But even that had its drawbacks. This unit, in my opinion, gives you the most bang for your buck as there are similar units available. I got the premium version with upgraded faders (of course) and eventually went for the full Innofader upgrade. And as you can see in the pics, i designed my own faceplate since it included a clear one with the Innofader. I also changed a few knobs to my liking and found an unbeatable combination of quality, functionality, playability and style. The 7 inch platters and provided "records" are spot on and very accurate. And being familiar with Serato, it was an easy transition to make. The tracking is superb with practically zero latency. And i mean ZERO. I never felt that my movements were getting lost in the software or that it couldn't keep up. Every scratch felt like it should and even better since the possibility of the needle skipping has been eliminated. The entire layout has a good work flow to it and it was easy to know where to find what you needed and what its status was due to the many lights and indicators being in the right places. At first I viewed some of the features as cheating, but have found many ways to turn that into a technique of its own. And, there is no short cut for hard work and talent. Every knob, button and fader feels solid and responsive. So you get the feel and precision of wax, but the details and advantages of technology. The unit itself is well built, but not heavy and can be raised or lowered with the four folding legs built in. And even though the platters are belt driven, they never feel as such and i assume thats due to them being 7 inches instead of 12. Start/ Stop works on a dime and if that still isn't precise enough, you have the 8 pads to assign as cue points, samples, loops, etc. as you see fit. Add to that the effect paddles and the choice of effects...the possibilities are endless. The jump to full on digital was a bit intimidating at first, but you'll feel right at home in no time. I honestly could keep going on and on about the Pros because there is so much to cover that it would take forever. If your on the fence about this unit or brand like i was, rest assured that this will be an investment you wont regret. Not to mention the resale value keeps going up. Just make sure you have a good laptop or Macbook that can handle the speed you'll need to process all of this magic. Oh, and it comes stock with access to STEMS out of the box! with dedicated buttons to boot! It also has standard stereo phono and XLR outs. Cons: As much as I love it, its not without some room for improvement... First the 8 pads per deck. While they do perform well and very much get the job done, they don't feel like MPC pads. They are a bit clicky and rightfully so at this price point. But not a deal breaker at all. Also, There is very limited connectivity. Meaning that, like its more expensive counter parts, there are not additional INs or OUTs to add additional gear like a sampler or turntable. You can however, add a few pieces of gear through your laptops USB ports, but no additional phono or 1/4 inputs. The only existing input is for a mic and that is a 1/4 input, not XLR, and only has a volume knob. you cant apply FX to it or even run a stereo adaptor as its a mono only input. For a gear junkie like myself, i like the ability to add this or that when the ideas are fresh. But again, this is a cost saving measure that most DJs can learn to live with and find a work around. Another thing to note...there is no "booth out" option. that didn't bother me either way, but i know some folks that do count on that. The entire thing is encased in a plastic housing. A cost thing i'm sure, but it is missing that "built like a tank" feeling even though it is a very sold build. Thats about all the Cons I can think of currently, so there's not much to else to say. Different DJs will have their personal preferences, but considering what you get from this beast, its easy to over look a few things here and there. Conclusion: The Hercules T7 is a force to be reckoned with. Nothing on the market to this day comes close for the price. It gives you a true vinyl feeling while also giving you all the advantages of the digital world. The customization options are there and the quality will keep you going strong. Make no mistake, this is not a toy. Its a work of art that will push your creativity and skill to its limits and beyond. Easy to carry, dependable at gigs and has that "what is that?" allure to it when the crowd get a peak. Best piece of DJ gear to come along in a while and from a name thats new to most of us...for now.
