The entry level controller market is certainly a busy place right now. with most manufacturers having some sort of budget offering. And Reloop are no exception, and realising that this sector is more consumer and thus more image conscious, they’ve brought out a limited run of their Beatmix controller in gleaming white, imaginatively dubbed the Reloop Beatmix Ltd.

As ever, Reloop have put together a most entertaining press release:

RELOOP BeatMix Ltd.

Mix Beats out of the Box.

Reloop Beatmix is the first controller developed especially for the popular worldwide software platform, Virtual DJ. Newbies and experienced DJs alike will soon familiarise themselves with this intuitive 2-channel controller, and in no time at all, can be up and running in the mix.

The newly developed, ultra flat, aluminium jog wheel with its 14cm circumference is equipped with 2 jog modes for vinyl-like scratching and fast track browsing. A large transport section and the

Hot Cue panel allows triggering and remixing whilst having a double functionality via a shift layer for all control elements. Users can easily select effects and filters to fire them off by means of the clearly arranged effects section, and with the dedicated Beat Mash mode, it’s possible to creatively chop up a track with a simple push of a button. For even more live remixing possibilities, beat-synchronous loops of various different lengths can be set up on the fly.

The linear arrangement of the 2 channel mixer and the popular Trax Encoder with its deck load buttons, simply makes classic mixing applications intuitive, comfortable, and fun.

Reloop Beatmix comes with an integrated USB audio interface to conveniently send the output to a hi-fi or PA system.

Additionally, headphones and even a microphone can be connected directly into the unit. Needless to say, professional ASIO drivers are also on-board to offer ultra low latency for tight track control and responsiveness whilst in the mix.
