New Reloop Mission 3 :smiley:

Reloop announced new controller at NAMM and damn im loving this controller. Compared to all the other standard midi controllers which look like the traditonal CDJ 400s-Mixer combo this really stands out. It looks like a pimped out vci 300 for traktor. And with all the plastic controllers out on the market you would be glad to know that its made out of a metal construction. I really cant find something that i dont like about this controller! cant wait to get my hands on one. It may be time for the next “vci-100” since the 100 have been stopped producing :slight_smile:

really? 1 post and youre spamming for reloop?

you guys do know you already have mike o working at your booth. you could have just asked him to post. wouldnt have looked nearly as suspicious.

btw, “We’ve requested a review sample, so as soon as we can, we’ll bring you the full scoop and a video talk-through.”

who is we?

juz wanted to share the love :disappointed: took it from another website

4

REALLY interested in seeing the review of this!! Spam or no spam! :slight_smile:

5

mike o will post about it after hes done being up on the huge stage reloop built for him to demo on for namm.

6

Looks solid. Looking forward to a proper review on this one!

7

this.

if i can imagen my own custom mapping on it quickly, without a bunch of modifiers, i like it. thats how it goes when i choose what controllers i like (at a glance).

this one wins.

8

Im interested in this one. Hopefully the platters are made well. THey look to be solid. I also hope they can price it below the s4. Maybe 700??? Im wishful.

9

im thinking itll be around $500

im hoping for less though lol

10

Isn’t reloop known for having shitty products and next to zero customer service?

11

things change

i hope

12

If by shitty you mean almost comparable to the “known” products for half the price then yes. They released a single controller a while back that got good reviews, and the bad customer service was because they had no US distribution. Now they have signed to distribute in the US making service in the US comparable to their europe service :slight_smile:

Well looking at the pic it’s traktor certified with a built in soundcard, control over 4 fx banks, replaceable crossfader but no sample control..

The pots look a bit too close though, and weirdly I can’t see a sync button.

theres no denying thats not bad looking.

15

found this video on youtube check it out def looks like a solid controller i love how each deck had dedicated fikter knob and pan knob and the ex knobs look nice and chunky ooo im pumped this thing paired with an x1 for sample decks would be a deadly set up!

16

Its Traktor “Ready” mate. Wont be Traktor “Certified”

Small but important difference, i guess:slight_smile:

17

please please please tell me that the shif keys (seen in the picture) and the deck focus (in the video) are hard wired!

that would be no modifier stuff at all.

if they are hard wired this will be at the top of my ‘to buy’ list

these things are fucking awesome - total disclaimer - I worked for mixwares/reloop at NAMM - it was great.

now about these controllers they are really nice kit.

metal construction, the buttons are responsive and playable, the jogs are very nice and also have a drag or resistance control to determine how smoothly they scroll.

the buttons are what I would call semi-rubberized.

they are not like the VCI hard plastic buttons, but they are not like the full rubber buttons you find on maschine either.

the buttons all have a hard plastic tops but also have a little bit of give when pressed like the all rubber buttons on maschine or the S4.

I really thought these buttons felt good to play, easy taps with clean response and they didn’t make my hand hurt like playing hard buttons on the VCI does.

these things are nice, they’re a traditional analog mixer as well as a midi controller.

my setup in the booth was one digital jockey 3 interface edition and 2 RMP3 alpha CDJ’s.

http://www.reloopdj.com/product_info.php/info/p591_Reloop-RMP-3-Alpha.html

these CDJ’s are dope as fuck, especially at $499, they a crazy good deal as they feel really good and are solid quality.

they take CD’s, usb thumbdrive or external hard-drive and they function as midi controllers too.

the platter response on the reloop gear was really nice as well.

with any DJ based midi controller I will run this test, load a song and set to a cuepoint, then run the platter 5 circles forward and 5 circles backwards and see how far off the final landing is from where you original start was.

my vci-100 and stanton scs3’s were always having little “drift issues” where I would not land in the same spot after spinning back, I would visually be a centimeter off from my start position most of the time.

these reloops landed back on the cue point exactly in both decadance and traktor* (in traktor it was at 0% acceleration and %2 scratch to work the way I liked).

there gear is really solid and worth while and generally a far better value than most of the competition.

and the company who is doing distribution in the US for Reloop (Mixwares who hired me) is also doing distribution for UDG bags (Ultimate DJ Gear) which are seriously nice, I mean REALLY FUCKING NICE BAGS guys.

overall NAMM was a ton of fun and the gear is solid.

I made a few small videos at the event, I’ll post them up later.

Yep you’re right :open_mouth:

the deck switch between A/C and analog is hardwired in the controller for sure, I think the shifts next to the jogwheel were modifiers in traktor.

I’m not %100 about that though as I didn’t make or check the tsi, it was just up and running when I got there.
