Reloop Terminal Mix 4 Video Review
Enjoy 
no scratch test?
Nice vid man. Looks like a solid controller.
Really glad Reloop have gone with the rubberised transport buttons. My ONLY gripe with the Digital Jockey 2 was the plastic buttons.
Some nice nostalgia from them tunes as well!!
Wouldnāt mind hearing this too.
Also, why are Reloop still using hard plastic knobs?
Haha! I nearly included one, but it wouldāve been more of an āmdcdesign embarrassment testā since I canāt scratch for shit.
From a TECHNICAL standpoint, however, thereās no reason you couldnāt scratch like a maniac on one of these. Thereās zero sticker drift whatsoever, and DJ Angelo uses one for scratching when heās not using the RP6000s.
As with any controller, however, your mapping is key really. Iāll post my mapping for this when I finish this set Iām doing, for those who own one of these and like the look of my mapping.
Oh, and for those with a set of Chroma Caps, they DO fit the TM4 according to the fitting guide in DJTTās shop
Hereās the mapping for you lovely people
If you watch the video youāll get the jist of it, but here are some further details, specifically regarding the FX section:
The fourth button in the FX section toggles Super FX mode; if its lit, youāre in Super FX mode.
- Knob 1 is armyofmeās Sweep/Drama effect; button 1 toggles the track kill/echo.
- Knob 2 is my own Macro FX version; button 2 toggles track kill/echo.
- Knob 3 is UNASSIGNED, feel free to add your own effects to it in Controller Manager.
- Button 3 will toggle all three effects on the main FX unit simultaneously; useful if you want to create a sweep WITHOUT killing the track; just kills the sweep effect gently, try it out and see
Thatās about it really, the rest of it is pretty self-explanatory.
Looks like Angelo is the posterboy for Reloop, and also heās using Serato with the TM4. Howās the performance in Traktor though?
Basically the same; no sticker drift in either. I donāt scratch, but I CAN stop the jogwheels on a dime, right on the beat when I need to. Iāve also got mine set rather more sensitively than you would do for scratching, and yet thereās STILL no over-run or lag with them. The capacitive nature of the wheels has been improved significantly compared to whenā¦ I think it was DJWorx? reviewed the Jockey 3, which uses similar jogs. They had an issue where even reaching across the jogs would trigger the Jog Touch note; no problems with that on the TM4 though
EDIT: This is what you wanna watch if youāre a scratch guy, itās pretty insane.
great review. good to see that it can hold its own in traktor too as well as serato dj.
Very nicely done.
Nice review and really awesome controller! Always wanted to map one of this in traktorā¦ Beat me to it 
Cheers dude Itās FAR better in Traktor than it is with Serato, which is quite surprising as itās designed specifically FOR Seratoā¦ but with such a full-fledged controller, it shows off the limitations of Serato better than some of the smaller units.
Since terminal is pretty close featured to an S4 my guess is that this one at itās price point could affect on S4 sales if Traktor would be the software it comes with. NI wouldnāt like that wouldnāt them
Haha this is true 
To be honest, the ONLY part of the Terminal Mix 4 that needs altering for it to be a Traktor controller are the FX banks; replace the rotary encoder at the right hand side with another knob, and youāve got yourself a more sensibly layed out S4 with a metal chassis lol.
Actually thatās a pointā¦ do any of you modding guys know if itās possible to replace a rotary encoder with a normal knob without rewriting the firmware? They both send CC signals, the question is would the voltages be in the same range?
If so, I see a mod coming for my TM4 soon
why not try and swap deck c & dās gain for the effect encoders? they are pretty close to one another so only need you to extend their connections to the board with some extra wire.
I donāt think it would work to change an encoder to a knob as an encoder only increments or decrements a value it doesnāt send itās absolute positioning..
another idea could be to remap the gain to an effect send type of thing like on the Xone-92. map the gain to dry/wet, and the three absolute knobs to the rest of the effect knobs, but the trick would be that the left effect knobs would control effect slot 1 ādeck aā and effect slot 3 ādeck cā with the same for effect slot 2 ādeck bā and effect slot 4 ādeck dā and you could control the dry/wet of each individual deck with the re-purposed gains.
looks amazing
