About this product
The Hercules DJControl Instinct is a black, compact 2-channel double deck DJ controller with a built-in mixer and pitch control. It features loop/sampler effects and connects via USB. It has a tabletop form factor and is designed for beginners. The controller offers basic mixing capabilities with two decks and a crossfader.
Our take
The DJControl Instinct is a no-frills starter controller that does what it says. The built-in mixer and pitch control are basic but functional. I found the loop/sampler useful for simple transitions. However, the jog wheels are small and not touch-sensitive, making scratching difficult. Build is all plastic and feels a bit cheap. No bundled software? You'll need to provide your own. For the low price, it's fine for absolute beginners to learn beatmatching, but you'll quickly want more features.
