Reloop RP-8000 MK2 DJ Turntable Reloop has introduced the RP-8000 MK2, which the company calls its most advanced turntable to date. The RP-8000 MK2 is designed for plug-and-play integration with Serato DJ Pro, offering the possibility of controlling up to seven different performance modes via the pad section. With the unique Platter Play mode, the pads can be used to control the platter’s rotation speed to create melodies and authentic musical performances. The eight large pads with RGB illumination can control over seven different performance modes (Cue, Sampler, Saved Loops, Pitch Play, Loop, Loop Roll, Slicer), as well as two user modes, which can be custom assigned with individual preferred functions. By using the multi encoder, it is possible to browse tracks directly from the turntable unit itself and load them to the respective deck. Thanks to its MIDI compat- ibility, the RP-8000 MK2 can communicate with every MIDI compatible DJ software. It also features a statically-balanced S-shaped tone arm with hydraulic lift and anti-skating mechanism.
