The Hercules Console RMX immediately convinces you that it's a quality product from the minute you pull it out of the bag.
although, I couldn't help wishing it had more pockets to put my cables in, but hey, what can you do right. It's actually quite a nice bag, and the Console RMX fits well in it, its really a pleasant touch that just makes the whole purchase seem worth while.
Right inside the box cover of the Hercules Console RMX sits the specially designed carrier bag for the controller, the midi controller itself is nicely placed in the bag covered in Styrofoam. I really liked he way it looked, and the ideas they were putting into it and for once there was a noticeably big difference from the last controller they had released before, the MK2. Suffice it to say, when I first heard about the new Hercules DJ Console RMX I was a little underwhelmed with expectation, but after seeing a few videos, my interest peaked. Different incarnations of the Hercules' usb controller were released over the years, each improving on the last but never entirely getting it right.
The MK2 followed suit which although was an improvement from the first, was a little too small for most professional DJ. After a few transitions in management and ownership Hercules established it's new status by releasing the DJ Console Mk1 USB/midi controller*(which in all honesty was just garbage). In the 1990s however a little company called ATi came along and over the course of a few years pushed Hercules out of the market permanently. Hercules started in 1982 as a graphics hardware design company, manufacturing and distributing products mainly for the PC's many accessory options.
