I also owned the original and sound quality is definitely superior on the new one.
Yeah. You canât compare the two.
Finally got one. Was visiting Germany and couldnât resist the Thomann Music Laid Back Luke Bundle!
After a few weeks, my verdict is that itâs definitely got some quirks, but I enjoy DJâing with it and I find the built-in mapping quite good. Itâs a solid part of my kit now.

It requires some muscle memory before you can reach full potential with it⌠three layers for most buttons makes you head spin at first.

I love mine! Have played two gigs with it already, and have started to get my head around the 3-4 deck workflow. Bought an M2 iPad Air to go with it. Totally bulletproof!

After working out the kinks, the final djay+Mixtour Pro setup is very satisfying and ultra-portable!

Oh! Love the caps. Are these the Chroma ones?

- The caps are made by Coolorcaps (including the snazzy 40 caliber bullet encoder)
- Up/down faders are made by Reloop.
- But the Chroma Caps I own, fit just fine on the Mixtour Pro, only reason I didnât use them I didnât have enough left to complete the set.

DJTT Chroma Caps on mine. Also, I bought a Decksaver. Been travelling to several countries so far with it like that - even in my checked bag. No issues. Reloop also make their own case for the Mixtour Pro. Thatâs what Laidback Luke tours with.

Thanks for sharing @Michael_Wisniewski. Great idea to pair with the Starlight. Definitely miss jogwheels sometimes when mixing with this.

Thank you for the photo! That looks neat.
So you arenât worry about the backing part of the mixtour pro being crush/compressed during travel?
Also whatâs the stem split do please? Just curious 
Youâre welcome @PoyTB. I just wrap it in some clothes inside my suitcase. The housing feels very solid to me, but if youâre concerned, definitely check out the Reloop carrying case.
The STEMS Split is a custom function that Iâve added to my personal MIDI Mapping where it Splits the Acappella to one deck and the Instrumental to the other deck using the Instant Double function. Similar to what Iâve done on my personal Mixon 8 Pro and Reloop Ready mappings.

Instant Double function⌠Where can I find more about this please? Very smart setup!
Does Djay have this in iOS version? If so, I would assume itâs in the midi mapping section?
Same here, when Iâm flying, I wrap it in rubber laptop sleeves (plus the deck saver). Fits neatly and securely in my carry-on bag. I agree the MIxtour Pro housing feels solid.
I also got the Reloop carrying case, which is great. Mainly use it once Iâve landed and have a âhomebaseâ to work from. If youâre traveling through Europe, Thomann has a discounted âLaidback Luke kitâ which includes the carrying case - at almost the same price as the Mixtour Pro by itself. The carrying case fits the decksaver with space to hold your usb cables and chargers.

@PoyTB you can access Instant Double by long pressing on the album art next to the overview waveform. Yes, this is available on iOS.
Yes, this is also available in the MIDI Mapping section near the bottom when you have the Target set to Deck 1,2,3,4.

Hey @Michael_Wisniewski do the Hercules Starlight jogwheels have capacitive touch on the top surface and nudge capability on the sides?
- Yes, the Hercules Starlight jog wheels have:
- capacitive touch on the top
- nudge/pitch bend on the sides
- There is also a dedicated âVinylâ button that switches the jog wheel tops between âVinyl Scratchâ and âPitch Bendâ modes. (the sides always stay in nudge/pitch bend mode).
