This mapping is based off my latest Reloop Mixon 8 Pro - STEMS Mapping (Reloop Mixon 8 - Ultimate STEMS Mapping). Notable changes to the default mapping include:
-
STEMS Split: this closely mimics the same feature in Serato where the active track is split into an Instrument and Acappella across Deck 1 and Deck 2.
a. For example, with a track playing on Deck 1 if you press SHIFT + Load for Deck 2, the track on Deck 1 will switch to an Instrumental while at the same time duplicating the track Acappella onto Deck 2 .
b. The same can be done in the other direction from Deck 2 by pressing SHIFT + Load for Deck 1.
c. This allows for independent EQing, Cutting, Scratching, Filtering, FX, etc. of each STEM across the 2 channels.
d. With Sync and Slip Mode engaged on both decks, the tracks stay locked together pretty well even when scratching one of the STEMs.
e. Also, if you engage a Loop on the track before performing the STEMs Split, the Loop will be duplicated onto the second deck.
-
STEMS EQs: SHIFT+ Deck 1 Headphone Cue will toggle between Regular EQs and STEMS EQs.
a. Note: I replaced the Gain knob with High EQ for both channels so there is a full 3 Band EQ control.
-
STEMS FX:
a. SHIFT+ FX1 ON will apply the selected FX to the DRUMS only.
b. SHIFT+ FX2 ON will apply the selected FX to the HARMONICS only.
c. SHIFT+ FX3 ON will apply the selected FX to the VOCALS only.
-
STEMS PADS: this Performance Pad Mode provides control of all 4 STEMS in djay.
a. The Top Row controls Mute for each of the 4 STEMS.
b. SHIFT+ Mute will Solo each STEM only while the button is Held.
c. The Bottom Row is set to Instant FX 5-8. The Instant FX assignments need to be set in djay by editing the pads. Check out this discussion for more details (DJ TechTools Midi Fighter Spectra - Neural Mix / Serato STEMs Mapping).
d. I prefer Drum Fill, Drum Echo 1/4, Vocal Juggler and Vocal Echo 3/4 myself.
-
Auto BPM Transition / Automix: This feature was recently showcased on the Pioneer DDJ-REV5. Basically it’s a direct copy of djay’s long existing Automix , but with some dedicated hardware controls.
a. For more details on how to set this up, check out the discussion here: Auto BPM Transition Feature
b. Basically, if you’re playing a track on Deck 1 and want to Auto BPM Transition over to Deck 2, simply press SHIFT+ Play/Pause on Deck 2 and djay will automate the transition. The same works in reverse transitioning from Deck 2 to Deck 1.

Lovely work. I will probably get this controller over Buddy as a prep tool whilst chilling watching TV etc.
Thanks @Dysfunk_DJ. IMO this is a better choice over the Buddy as there are more MIDI Mappable controls and you can remap the Gain Knob for a full 3 Band EQ.

I agree plus it seems similar to Mixon 8. Mine is still in repair, I’ve put a complaint in asking now for my money back.

That’s good news as well. I know you’ve been waiting a while on that one. My Mixon 8 has been flawless since the firmware update so hopefully your experience going forward is the same.

Hope so too. What I like about Reloop ready and Mixon 8 is how you mapped similar. Ready for prepping and Mixon for performing is how I will use. I’ll map the parameter buttons to acapella and instrumental and have beatjump mapped to bottom 4 pads of saved loops as I never use 8 loops.
Love this mapping and I changed the bits I needed. One thing though not sure you’ve noticed but where sampler should be its stems and where stems should be there bounce loops.

Got it cue loops is now Sampler. Nice work mate. Love it
You’re welcome. Glad you like it!
One question though. What does effects deck do? (Shift plus press loop encoder)
It switches the FX assignment to the entire Deck instead of FX applied to only Drums, Harmonics or Vocals.
Ahhh very good like that, kind of a reset button. One thing that did confuse me was where your stem split is/ I presume you previously did use shift and load, that’s now preview forward or rewind, which does make sense. I remapped to shift parameter buttons as I have acapella and instrumental mapped to them now. Just interested to know where you mapped it too.
I’ve changed it back and forth a few times. Currently on my personal version I have Shift + Load mapped to STEMS Split and I don’t have Preview Forward or Backward mapped to anything.
Cheers man. Just out of curiosity, how do you do your very cool mapping images that you have done for Mixon 8 and ready?

@Dysfunk_DJ, I use Corel Draw, but you could simply use the photo editor on iOS as well.

Lovely, thank you. I made an edit to the Reloop ready to suit me. I’ll take a look to see if I can do similar to what you’ve done 
You’re welcome. The built-in photo editor on iOS is pretty decent. It’s easy to add shapes and text. The main issue is that you cannot edit the text later so you need add new text over the old text instead. Not a big deal.
