Gadgets we love here @ Tracktune.net. Today we are reviewing Reloop RP-8000 turntable
Direct drive turntable with built-in
DVS control.
The
Reloop RP-8000 combines modern DJ technology in an advanced turntable. This
hybrid high torque turntable does the balancing act between approved direct
drive technology and a digital control section for your DJ software. The
RP-8000 is able to communicate with any MIDI compatible DJ software. Serato
Scratch Live mappings are also available with which the worldwide most popular
and stable DVS system can be controlled. With the Trax encoder it is possible
to scroll through your playlists and comfortably load tracks onto the decks.
READY FOR SERATO DJ
The
RP8000 is taken into the exclusive "Official Serato Accessory"
family, becoming the first ever Serato-supported turntable on the market. Use
the RP8000 as part of your DVS set up with seamless plug and play integration
allowing for previously unimagined creative possibilities. The MIDI control
strip is now fully pre-mapped within Serato DJ 1.6.2, offering all the trigger
action you could need thanks to the 4 combinable performance modes - Cue, Loop,
Sample and Slicer.
PERFORMANCE MODES
The
RP-8000 disposes of 4 combinable performance modes. These way creative features
are available such as access to 8 hot cue points. This means whole new
possibilities for beat juggling. As the 8 drum pads are also multi-functional,
loops can also be set and triggered. Even access to sample decks is very easy
with the RP-8000. A further bank is available for slicer mode for cutting and
remixing your tracks on the fly.
TURNTABLE-LINK MODE
This
way drum rolls and instant effects can be controlled - various presets can be
downloaded from the product website. The Dual Performance mode is especially
clever: when two modes, such as cue and loop, are pressed simultaneously, the
first 4 trigger buttons are assigned to cue and the other 4 buttons are
assigned to loop mode. The Turntable Link Mode is also quite smart: via USB up
to 4 turntables can be linked. The single devices assign themselves
automatically and consecutively to the next deck - this way only one turntable
has to be connected via USB to your PC/Mac.
ULTRA POWERFUL, QUARTZ DRIVEN DIRECT DRIVE
Besides
the indestructible and sturdy construction, the turntable does not only cope
with the hardest club surroundings, its technical features are as powerful: an
ultra powerful, quartz driven direct drive with precise even speed and digital
correction emphasizes the Reloop RP-8000's class. The high-resolution pitch
(+/- 8%, +/- 16% and +/- 50 %) with a resolution of 0.02% is shown on the LCD
and facilitates exact beat matching with long mixes.
WEAPON FOR TURNTABLISTS
Sophisticated
and fast turntablism showcases can also be realized without a problem, thanks
to the additional start/stop button for vertical positioning and a variable
torque from "Classic" to "HiTorque". More variety in the
mix: with the reverse button and an adjustable start/stop time from 0.2 to 6
seconds, individual and creative impulses can be set with the RP-8000. As the
turntable is equipped with a line/phono switch, it can even be connected
directly to line inputs of mixers or amps - grounding not necessary.
