The popular Hercules DJControl Inpulse line reached its crescendo, with the DJ hardware company proudly announcing the addition of all-new Serato DJ compatibility to the successor of the best-selling DJControl Inpulse 200.
The newly updated DJControl Inpulse 200 MK2 comes with a features refresh, added software compatibility.
Joining the Hercules DJControl Inpulse 300 MK2 and the Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500, the little brother of the family, the DJControl Inpulse 200 MK2 will now work natively with Serato DJ,
including plug-n-play compatibility with Serato DJ Lite, and one-touch functionality via a built-in Stems pad-mode.
New DJs can now learn to mix using the world’s most popular mixing software on an updated entry-level controller at an un-updated entry.

A refreshed feature set

While the most exciting new update is the integration of Serato DJ compatibility, Hercules’ team of engineers and DJs have taken the opportunity to completely refresh the product’s design and functionality, with major upgrades to the hardware itself:

• Improved jog wheels: high resolution jog wheels with clear, vinyl-like grooves offer a smoother and more dexterous rotation for more efficient scratching and track browsing.
• Loop and Stems functions: loop buttons have been updated on each deck, plus on-pad Stems mode, Hot Cue, FX and Sampler functions, expanding the simplicity of one-touch creative mixing. 
• Premium look and feel: improved pads with minimal numbering markings, and even brighter streamlined markings on the top casing for enhanced visibility and comfort, allowing new DJs to quickly acclimate to a standardized controller layout and feeling.
• Multiple Learn-to-DJ features: like Hercules’ entire Inpulse line, the DJControl Inpulse 200 MK2 features light-up LED Beatmatch guides to help first-time DJs master the art of manually matching tempo and beat, plus the Intelligent Music Assistant and ENERGY features to help manage the party mood and pick the perfect next track.
• Compatible software options: users can choose their favorite DJ software to mix with, as both Hercules’ proprietary DJUCED® and Serato DJ Lite software are included.
