The djay Pro loop controls feature a simple set-up consisting of three buttons: loop length decrease, loop activate, and loop length increase. The loop length is shown in beats, and changing the size halves or doubles, from 1/16th of a beat up to 32 beats.

Once installed, the DJ can use the controls of the DJControl Inpulse 300, DJControl Inpulse 200, and DJControl Starlight to mix, loop, add effects, scratch and even use the Assistant button, specific to the Hercules DJControl Inpulse range to trigger the automix feature in the djay application.
