Teeming with pro-level features for performing DJs

A Filter/FX section supplies smooth, customizable transitions between tracks. Manually sync up your tracks with Beatmatch Guides, using either Serato DJ Lite or DJUCED. You also get 16 RGB-backlit pads, a vinyl function, and Loop In/Loop Out buttons, plus a crossfader with a Curve switch for changing the crossfade curve without taking your hands off the controller. The DJControl Inpulse 500’s Intelligent Music Assistant (IMA) works in conjunction with the included DJUCED software to suggest the best-suited upcoming track (you can use Serato DJ Lite’s Autoplay function, as well).
