its OK for small gigs, but dont expect it to sound good on a descent system. a friend of mine had a reloop controller with interface, he used it out once at a club, and got rid of it the day after, the thing sounded awful. should be fine for home use and small parties… bars you might be pushing it to its limits but it should pass… JUST… id reccomend going for the interface and audio 2, just because even if you do get a descent gig with a descent sound system, it wont sound like crap… there great controllers though… but they really need to work on there interfaces…
as for the touch sensitive side of things… well the jogs, unless you plan on doing scratching with it (which i wouldnt reccomend anyway…) or mapping a crazy function to it, i dont see not having touch sensitivity on the jogs to be too much of an issue. sure its a nice feature to have, but not essensial. i mean, you can still pitch bend with regular non touch jogs, and thats the main thing youll be using it for anyway im assuming.
i think audio quality is more important, and if thats the case, that its not gonna sound good on a decent system then i’m gonna have to decide against it.
