Overview
A first-time DJ gets a compact two-deck controller in the Hercules Inpulse, with built-in master and headphone outputs and light guides that teach beatmatching. Performance pads, a crossfader and per-channel EQ cover the basics.
Learning aids are the reason to look: the tempo guide and beat align guide show what to adjust without looking at a screen. The limit is simple hardware, with two decks and basic channel strips.
Who it's for
A new DJ practicing at home, creating mashups with stems, will use the guides and pads. Working DJs who need more channels or standalone use should look at bigger controllers.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
The tempo guide shows where to move a tempo fader and the beat align guide shows which way to turn the jog wheel, so new DJs can match beats without watching a screen. Stems controls split tracks into instrumental and vocal parts for mashups and transitions. Pads trigger hot cues, FX and samples.
