Reloop RP-8000
Looks like this could be cool. The buttons are a bit close to the platter imo, but I’ll reserve judgement until I get to play around with one. Additionally they have posted the beatpad and key pad on their website. Thoughts?
i immediately got a gear boner. If the execution of the product is close to the concept, and the price is reasonable, then everyone will want them. A few thoughts on these:
1). Most of those that seriously want turntables have them. Most of those that want turntables want 1200’s, and can get them pretty easily.
2). those that are digital djs going into dvs already have controllers for loops, hot cues, etc.
3). I’m guessing it’ll be around $800-1000 new. Perfectly good techs go for $300 used and dicers can be picked up for $50 used.
4). Even if you buy these for yourself, you’ll have to have dicers/another controller for anytime you play out. Unless you want to bring your own turntables to every party. Which would suck.
5). Also, it would have been nice to have a control on this product for browsing and track selection.
That being said, I still want them. Serato is really picking up their game in the scratch-certified mixer/ssl/sdj native controller realm.
The RP-8000 does have a browser track selector knob 
I own 1200s but would much rather have the RP-8000. It has a wider pitch range than mk2-mk5, pitch range read out and enough midi controls to do what I want with it. I hope they sell this in the U.S.
Keypad is just RIDICULOUSLY cool.
If anyone looking to get into production DOESN’T snap one of these up as soon as it becomes available they are a FOOL.
A FOOL, I TELL YOU!
Actually - it is (I THINK) the first completely all in one solution for DJ’ing and production. Damn - I could write some seriously hardcore templates for Ableton Live for that thing…
Pass that unit when you done with template so I could Traktorize it 
This. Would love to use this with Traktor Scratch Pro.
The new gear - especially the RP-8000 - is fucking insane. Played with it a bit earlier but was competing today so had to work on my set… tomorrow I’ll be back with more information
this guy told what’s it gonna cost (at the end of the vid, 2:14), i’m really impressed
cant watch vids at work, much is it gona cost 
?
the 8000… actually surprised it took someone this long to make this. on a side note the beat pad looks upside down (not a huge fan of hot cues over the paters). the key-pad looks like what might be the best all in one entry level production tool around. good work re-loop.
Doesn’t Vestax allready offer a MIDI capapble turntable?
Really cool, but drum rolls and beat jumping sounds like skip skip skip. Unless you use absolute mode. Personally I like relative, but still, I want to try one of these out. The button layout is perfect if you use your mixers in battle mode lol.
Ive been wanting new TTs for a while cos i miss mixing real vinyl, was looking at getting 1200mk5s,
ill wait till the serato forums review this and compare it against the 1200 before i make the decision though
EDIT: at £1100 a pair, these are gona have to damn impress me
Compared to a single CDJ that costs about that much, it doesn’t seem to ridiculous, you are getting the same functions as a CDJ except you can play vinyl instead of CDs and flashdrives…You are getting a brand new turntable, no worries about having to refurb an old tech 1200
I wont be buying them for anything other than vinyl mixing. im in the process of selling my sl2 and s4 because i can req. 2000s at gigs now,
And whos to say the dampening on this TT is anywhere near as good as the techs, no point buying nice new decks if the needles are going to skeet about everywhere
From a purely technical point of view, these are currently the best turntables on the market. I had a bit more of a play with them today, and you CANNOT stop the platter moving by pressing down on the slipmat. Just keeps turning at no less than 50% of the normal speed, and I was pressing HARD. You can stop the platter using the edge, but again it requires a HARD press. If you turn the torque adjustment right down to minimum, which is the same amount as 1200s, it stops with a moderate touch of the edge.
Spin-up times are insane as well, we’re talking less than half a second to spin up to full speed. Same with stop times too, but there IS a start/stop adjustment knob as well which goes all the way from those speeds down to 1200s power-off spindown rates.
I might be wrong but everyone is talking about this motor being the ultimate, by the looks of it ( Reloop RP-8000 - Reloop ) it’s the same one used in all the other super oem turntables? Love the pads though, if I wasnt sitting on a pair of Stanton str8.150 I would definitely go for these ones.
It’s a really expensive turntable with a high torque motor and built in dicers? Am I missing something? Was there ever a problem with the motor on a 1200? They’re pretty cool but don’t seem like game changers.
The browse encoder is the coolest feature IMO. I wonder if the pitch read out can be changed to display bpm. That seems more useful.
Yes. That would be awesome.
