The “most recent” Reloop product that’s made for djay was the Mixtour Pro and it’s already looking really good! I don’t have it but judging from videos and reviews online, I think it’s interesting!
The problem is, it’s advertised as a 4 deck controller but only features 2 channels for them.
I feel like if you want to have an easier time mixing with 4 decks/channels, then you need to have 4 channels on the mixer.
Hi @Nguy_n_Nam, I do not have any insider information regarding future hardware development at Reloop. However, given that the Mixtour Pro was co-designed by Laidback Luke specifically to be ultra-portable, I suspect a version with 4 physical channels is unlikely. You never know though - would love to be proven wrong. Maybe we’ll have some good news from NAMM in 2 weeks…
Also, I personally own a Mixtour Pro, and I find the toggle from Deck 1/2 to 3/4 to work quite well for 4 deck mixing. However, I mainly use Deck 3 for the odd Acapella and rarely mix with all 4 Decks at once.
Your intuition is correct. However, I cannot imagine that there is a version with four channel strips. That would compromise the concept of the Mixtour/Mixtour Pro. But as before: one never knows…
I would like to go on record that I’d love a 4 channel Mixtour Pro. I have a Roland dj-505 for Serato and even though it’s advertised as a 4 deck controller, without the extra faders etc for the other channels I have never gotten the hang of it and I don’t even attempt 4 decks on it anymore.
I’d say that there is definitely a market for a small modular 4 deck controller. But for Reloop, my solution would be to be able to link two Mixtour Pros together.
I would love a 4 channel version of the Mixtour Pro. I imagine it would be the size of two Mixtours next to each other. Still small enough to drop into a backpack together with an iPad.
Alternatively, it would be nice if you could daisychain two mixtours together through the usb-c port.
Thanks for sharing @Chris_R @BillPayer and @Kikeon. You could definitely use 2 Mixtour Pros side by side with djay and have one set to Deck 1/2 and the other to Deck 3/4. You cannot, however, daisy chain them to each other - you will need to connect them to your device directly or through a power USB hub.
Interesting, did not think about it this way. So you could use 1 as a controller/soundcard, and the other just as a controller.
Exactly! Just note that on iOS, you cannot manually choose which device acts as the soundcard. I can’t remember now how this works, but it’s either the first one connected or the last one connected that djay on iOS uses as the audio output.
