DVSDigital Vinyl System compatible for scratching with timecode vinyl

What sets the Inpulse 300 apart from other 2-deck USB controllers is DVS compatibility: hook up a turntable and timecode vinyl, and you can control your digital files as if they were a physical record, with the real feel and scratch of vinyl. Not every controller at this price point offers that.

With 578 reviews and a 4.6/5 average, it's one of the best review-and-score combos in the catalog. There's an occasional review (2 stars) reporting a factory defect, but that's a clear minority against the mostly positive whole.

I have been djing for a couple years now. I have other controllers that I use but this is what I teach people on. The djuced software is easy to use and Hercules even has videos for beginner dj lessons. Hercules has packs of music every month they hand out for free to use and even set the cues for you to learn different transitions. It's honestly an amazing product that will allow you to learn fast to become a DJ yourself. If you are a beginner dj looking for a place to start this will take care of you. It's good enough to play clubs and record your own mixes

I’ve had this for years. The portability is great. Compatibility is great for virtual. DJ set up is great stability for beginners 110% value for the money definitely and appearance. Great I’ve spilled stuff on it buttons get stuck and the button still works even when it’s stuck never had anything that worked that well.

Per niente soddisfatto! Ho acquistato l'apparecchio nuovo(!?) E' arrivato prima del previsto, la confezione era intatta, l'apparecchio è funzionante (e sin qui va bene) , ma si è presentato SPORCO e con diverse impronte digitali (in più anche unte, come si vede dalle foto!)
