Hercules DJ Control Air+ S DJ Controller

Full Description

AIR Control

The Hercules DJ Control Air+ S DJ Controller features ‘AIR Control’ which allows you to command controls and effects by hovering your hand over the sensor. The built-in infrared sensor translates your hand movement into a MIDI command, allowing you to control parameters and implement effects into your mix without touching the controller. This highly unique feature is compatible in all lighting conditions, from practicing in your bedroom to performing a set at a nightclub, the DJ Control AIR+ S will react the same at all times.

Optimal Mixing Controls

The DJ Control Air+ S DJ Controller includes dual pressure-detecting jog wheels which allow you to seamlessly transition from mixing to scratching by adding pressure to the wheels. These dual pressure-detecting jog wheels give you a natural feel to your scratching, and can also ben used to control pitch bend and browsing within tracks. Also included are 8 velocity-sensitive pads that can be used to control loops, effects and even trigger samples. The inner backlight shows when the pad is activated and the velocity detection will modulate the level of the command. The USB DJ Controller features a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack output for the mix as well as a 6.35mm streo jack output for previewing tracks with ease. Additionally, the DJ Control Air+ S DJ Controller comes complete with DJUCED 18° DJ Software, which allows you to expand your mixing capabilities as well as offer a range of new features such as the ability to save your mixes directly to a digital audio file.
