A DJ Controller is a piece of hardware that connects to your computer to control DJ software such as Serato or Traktor Pro. Designed to replicate a mixer or CD player or add more elements such as samples and live drums.
A controller can be setup to match your style and by using MIDI, controllers are easily able to map and change buttons, faders, jog wheels and pads to any available software feature, making it easy to get a result that will match your mixing style.
DJs now use software as opposed to Vinyl or CDs because you can carry a lot more in a lot less space and the ability of new software means that DJs can easily take on a role as a ‘live producer’ and layer both pre-recorded and live elements, all in sync and on the fly.
