Reloop Launches the Reloop NEON — Pad Controller for Serato, MIDI & DAW
NEON has launched – it marks Reloop’s first hardware controller for Serato.
An official Serato accessory, this is for the DJ seeking plug and play tactile control over their effects in Serato software. Helpful for all DJs and producers looking to integrate and manage effects into their mix it can be used as a MIDI controller and mapped to any DAW or DJ software. Small and portable this controller/sampler/drumpad packs a punch for a great price tag.
Reloop NEON — one mighty box.
Neon is officially available NOW for $149. Add on the Reloop NEON stand for $55.
Logically presented and psychedelically luminous, the NEON is arranged as follows:
From left-to-right the top row has a rotary push-to-click- encoder for Track Navigation, Load and Sample Volume. Followed by the Performance Mode section buttons: Sampler, Slicer, Hot Cue and Loop which also have secondary functions (Pad FX, Looped Slicer, Flip, Manual Loop) when pressed with Shift. At the end, a second rotary push encoder for Loop Size, Set, Shift and Roll.
Continuing down the right side is the Sampler/Control section buttons which has Mode Selector for DVS (Digital Vinyl System) Absolute/Internal/Relative, Censor, Slip, Sync and Shift. In the center are eight RGB touch sensitive multi-color drum pads with LED state indicators for the Serato DJ SP-6 sample player. The five LED indicators state whether the user’s sample is One Shot, Toggle, Hold, Repeat Mode and Sync.
In Pad FX Mode the user can tap to enhance or decrease the velocity, depth and control of up to six iZotope‘s FX. Back to the left side is the Bank/Deck section buttons which control the sample output on up to four decks: Record, On, Loop, Start and Flip. Flip mode, which is a new feature to Serato 1.7 allows users to record cues and individual edits and then “flip” and arrange by color into the 6 slots. The Flip sequences can then be quantized to ensure the edits are kept within sync to the beat.
Ideal for DJs who are using vinyl turntables or CDJ’s, the NEON paired with your mixer is a way to integrate a new approach to remixing and creating on the fly without reaching for the keyboard. A modernized way to give your analog mixers a digital boost into the 21st century without breaking the bank. The NEON is USB bus powered and also recognizes smart link so the user can connect two NEONs two each other via mini jack cable doubling the possibilities. Separately you can also purchase a stand that can elevate your NEON over your decks.
