Timeless vinyl feel
While most DJ controllers provide a hefty degree of control in how you interface with the music you’re spinning, the DJControl Inpulse T7 takes things a step further, opting to include authentic, felt slipmats, as well as two 7-inch replica vinyl records. This gives you all the tactile satisfaction of old-school performance with all the benefits of contemporary technology, utilizing the record’s label or the jog wheel’s textured outer ring to spin, back-cue, and juggle away. It’s fantastic for practicing, too, with the label’s design serving as a quick indicator for changes in tempo as you feel the groove move, while simple touch detection lets you play or pause by resting your fingers on the record. Moreover, the 3.9-inch tempo faders are the exact same size as those found on vinyl turntables used by DJs around the world.
Complete control
Each deck features its own VU meter for dependable, real-time feedback, coupled with a master output meter to manage your mix as you shape and sculpt with each deck’s 3-band EQ, gain control, and multimode filter. Both headphone outputs have their own volume adjustments, with one-click control for toggling headphone playback for both channels, as well as the master output. The highly-responsive crossfader is centrally located with a 3-way toggle to manage the crossfade profile, tailored to meet your beat-juggling needs.
Soaring FX and performance possibilities
Looping controls are available on each deck, complete with autoloop functions and a clearly labeled management points. Assignable hot cue buttons make easy work of complex showmanship tools, while eight performance modes are activated by the vibrant, RGB-backlit performance pads, ensuring plenty of variety and flavor for your set.
