I use this accessory and have hub with three usb3.2 and external nvme ssd 4 TB with thunderbolt speed on my Ipad Pro m4 (256 gb, the basic model) and Macbook Pro m4 and all this with one power supply, controllers included (Reloop Mixtour Pro and Akai APC Mini).
It also supports hdmi output for my videos.

I actually use the newest iPad Mini - it works great!
as for storage - Either use a Thumb drive connected to a “Docking station”
something like this: Amazon.com
or depending on the size of your ipad, some of them have some massive
storage.

It’s pretty accurate, although I’m still preferring the way I mapped it

Can anyone tell me how the jog wheels work? Unfortunately, they are not so good on the Rev5 and iPad. Is the handling of the Grv6 similar to that of the CDJ 3000?

So Im considering updating a DDJ-800 to a DDJ-GRV6. Is this a real upgrade or more of a side grade? I’m concerned about the weak metering on the GRV6 and a potential downgrade in sound quality from the sound card. The 800 sounds great, I think. But I’m drawn to the CDJ-3000 layout of the decks and the stems integration on the GRV6.

EDIT: just saw it has no aux input, which is a bit of a killer. Shame.

Hi @Belford_Roxo, have you considered the DDJ-FLX10 for your upgrade? It doesn’t have an Aux input, but it does have 4 RCA line inputs.

I don’t know why but I’m just not drawn to the FLX10.
Something about it doesn’t sit right with me - might be the way the stems are implemented.
I prefer the stems layout on the GRV6.

Also seems quite expensive for what it is…
And very big!

Oh, and unbelievably, the FLX10 has a slightly worse SnR than the ancient DDJ-800! You’d hope that with such a big leap in time and price, you’d get a corresponding improvement in sound quality.

Hi all, does anyone have any experience of saving memory loops and activating them with the performance pads? In MIDI settings the ‘memory/ delete’ button on the GRV6 is not assigned.

Would be helpful to know if anyone has a solution.

Hi @SierraD, welcome to the Community! I think the MIDI commands you are looking for are Saved Loop Activate 1-8 and Clear Saved Loop 1-8.

Thanks for the swift reply, the activate saved loop midi setting moved to the saved loop but didn’t play it automatically. However below that the saved loop reloop setting auto played it. Both have uses and great to have such an easy fix.

You’re welcome @SierraD. Glad you were able to sort it out.
