controller.
6.1. ASIO drivers (for Windows
®
)
A pack of drivers including the ASIO drivers is available on the Hercules
support website (https://support.hercules.com): ASIO lets you reduce the
audio latency compared with WASAPI mode in Windows

for scratching.

®
, the Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 control panel lets you
adjust the ASIO buffer size, thereby adjusting the latency.
The procedure to adjust the ASIO settings is as follows:
- First, set the USB buffer size to Standard (4 ms).
- Select an ASIO buffer size, for example 256 Samples (4 ms).
- Start up your DJ software (Serato DJ Lite or DJUCED
®
).
- In DJUCED
®
, select the DJControl Inpulse 500 ASIO (ASIO) audio
