£379 usually, but I got mine for £240 ![]()
It was a toss-up between the RMX-40 and the IQ2 MIDI, but I figured that I rarely use Traktor’s internal mixing mode ANYWAY, so just went for the RMX-40 ![]()

that case is really cool! too bad it’s discontinued! but i read somewhere that reloop was bringing it back! maybe in they’re forum? can’t remember exactly!
a setup like that kind of reminds me of a allen & heath 4d!!!
Little update for my new shiny:
As well as a dedicated area for practice:
And yes, I’m a MAJOR Reloop whore ![]()
Just curious, could I just bring my reloop contour in, and hook it up to my laptop, and use cdj 2000’s in HID mode and use the contours soundcard to control traktor and cdjs with?
You could do, yeah. The CDJs would just act as your transport controls, then you can use the Contour for loops/beatjumps/FX and your audio output etc ![]()
awesome, I’m glad I bought these then!!
Tbh if you’re playing somewhere that already has a decent mixer, you don’t even need to use the CDJs; the Contours can be mapped to do everything the CDJs can and more ![]()
The lack of a dedicated pitch fader is NOT a problem; you see the Pitchbend mode selector above the jogwheel? Go into your mapping in Traktor and add Tempo Adjust to be Shift+Jogturn in Pitchbend mode; that way, you can REALLY quickly beatmatch by ear (if you’re not a sync guy) ![]()
Uh…you can just use the cdj 2ks as soundcards… Why on earth would you use contours over cdj 2ks in HID given the option? Plus the pio 8/900 on board effects, in terms of ease of use, and accessibility blow traktor out of the water. Sure you have more options in traktor but sometimes too many options is a bad thing. I’m not hating on the reloops either, it’s a nice bit of kit, but it seems redundant to have cdj2ks, a pio mixer, and the contours. Unless you want a dedicated 3rd/4th deck controller and the club only has 2 2ks available. Definitely wouldn’t run my sound through the if the club already has the 2ks set up to go.
Similarly you can also map several of the CDJ buttons (including the Reloop button
) when in HID mode to cover other things like FX.
If you have the CDJs available, you may as well use the large platters and physical faders for transport and dedicate the Contour to FX/samples/additional decks.
reloop contours are highly underrated controllers.. i hardly use them but im glad i bought them..
Wow, I’ve never seen that mixer before… looks pretty decent.
The RMX-40? Yeah it’s pretty nice, especially considering the price. USB inputs are a little bizarre (1 channel input with a second MASTER input), although using it as a 4-out soundcard works pretty well. Latency isn’t too bad at all ![]()
Looks like it’s only a 2-out soundcard, and you have to use both USB ports to access both channels?
It’s a kinda funny setup tbh… it’s basically 4 in 4 out, but ONE pair of the ins takes its input from Master rather than a channel. So basically, you could theoretically use it as a DVS, but only with a single TT/CDJ.
The outputs run into channels 1 and 3; you just flick the selector to USB, assign the channels in Traktor or whatever software you’re using, and you’re off.
I find the Master USB in quite useful for recording; haven’t tested it with timecode yet as I don’t have any timecode vinyls on hand, but theoretically it should work fine - just only on one side ![]()
USB is only an option for 1 and 3, so 2 outs? Counting each mono output is kind of pointless as noone mixes in mono - and it’s not even possible to split the outputs into 4 monos on the RMX40.
They’re still called 4 in 4 out interfaces though
That’s just basic terminology lol.
For example, the Contour is a 10-out interface; the Mixtrack Pro is a 4-out, the RMX a 4-in-4-out, etc.
Damn, you can’t change the thread title… 'tis a bit more than just Reloop stuff now but I suppose it still fits considering my reputation as a Reloop whore ![]()
Thought I’d show you guys my desk setup as well:
Special thanks to xonetacular for the Komplete Audio 6; when practicing I just plug the output from the Z1 into Input 1 and 2, enable monitoring, and away I go.
A vanity shot of the cables I’m using ![]()
And finally, me doing my Saturday night thing with my Contours and my new Z1 ![]()
lol, when did they change the title?
They didn’t, I just tried to change it and all it does is change the title of the POST not the thread lol ![]()
oh, that’s not funny then ![]()
