Reloop Launch Digital Jockey at BPM

The new Reloop ‘Digital Jockey’ controller will make its UK début at BPM. Completely dedicated to the future, the Digital Jockey makes playing, mixing and manipulating music from a computer's hard disc as easy as using a DJ CD-player and a mixing console.

At its core, the Reloop Digital Jockey is a fully assignable MIDI controller that can send up to 69 MIDI parameters that are accessible via buttons, faders, encoders, push-rotaries, and two oversized high resolution jog wheels. The console scores with full-sized DJ-friendly controls, a classic 2 channel layout, high quality faders and backlit control buttons. A huge Trax encoder also allows the most intuitive browsing in music libraries. The Digital Jockey is easily connected and powered via USB, making it easily portable.

In the course of conceptualizing the Digital Jockey, Reloop developed Attack, a professional mixing software package that perfectly matches with the controller. The Digital Jockey is not only supplied with Reloop Attack, but also includes the world famous Traktor 3 LE. Both are especially pre-mapped for the Digital Jockey.

In addition to the standard version, Reloop will also be launching a separate ‘Interface Edition’, which features an in-built high grade four channel 16 bit/48 kHz USB audio interface. This allows that Digital Jockey to be directly connected to a PA system, headphones and microphone, while another line source like a CD player or a turntable can be integrated into the setup, as well.
