Hercules has always offered some of the best quality audio interfaces in the business, which shouldn’t be a surprise as stand-alone audio interfaces was their primary business early on. Quality audio drivers and support for OS updates are always readily available. The DJControl JogVision combines Hercules’ quality audio interface support with a modern, advanced control surface complete with display read-outs at the center of each jog wheel.

Right away, when you fire the DJControl JogVision up you’ll be struck by it’s feature packed, albeit a little tight, control layout — and the jog wheel digital displays are a really nice touch. This unit easy separates itself from some of the workhorse Hercules DJ controllers of the past (such as the RMX and RMX2) – it’s a pro-level DJ controller DEX 3 DJ mixing software users should take into strong consideration.

All features found on the Hercules DJControl JogVision are DEX 3 supported, including the jog wheel displays, the beats ‘counter’, the effects controls, hot cue/loop pads and browser functions. While a challenge initially for our controller mapping team, particularly the display’s, it was worth the effort. This is a great option for DEX 3 DJs whether mixing music or music videos.

Here’s how Hercules DJ describes the DJControl JogVision:

DJControl Jogvision is the first mobile Hercules DJ controller to feature a display in the center of each jog wheel, simultaneously indicating both the playback speed and position in the track at a glance. These displays allow DJs to spend less time looking at a computer screen, for enhanced focus, faster responsiveness and better track syncing – paying more attention to the music and their audience instead.
