Reloop RP-8000 MK2 DJ turntable Direct drive

The most advanced DJ turntable ever made.With the RP-8000 MK2 we present the most advanced DJ record player of all times, which was developed in close cooperation with international turntable artists. The record player has been designed for seamless integration with Serato DJ Pro and offers the option of operating up to 7 performance modes via the pad section. In the unique Platter Play mode, the pads can also be used to control the speed of the turntable to create melodies. The RP-8000 MK2 represents a seamless combination of first-class, professional DJ-record player and innovative musical instrument.Pad section with 7 new performance modesDesigned for use with Serato DJ Pro, the RP-8000 MK2 enables unprecedented creative possibilities in a DVS setup thanks to the seamless plug 'n' play integration. The 8 large pads with RGB lighting offer thereby control over 7 performance modes (Cue, Sampler, Saved Loops, Pitch Play, Loop, Loop Roll, Slicer) as well as 2 user modes, which can be adjusted to the individual preferences. With the multi-encoder, browsing can also be controlled directly from the record player and tracks can be conveniently loaded into the respective deck. Thanks to the MIDI-compatibility the RP-8000 MK2 can communicate with any MIDI-enabled DJ software – an additional controller for operating performance modes is thus no longer necessary.Statically balanced S-tone arm with newly developed pick-up arm baseThe RP-8000 MK2 has a statically balanced S-shaped pick-up arm with hydraulic lift and anti-skating mechanism. The newly developed pick-up arm base has an even higher stability and can be adjusted in height (VTA). The pick-up arm of the RP-8000 MK2 is characterized by the particularly low-resonance, satin-finish material and comes with a universal connection for pick-up systems (SME).Platter Play - creative control of the speed of the turntableThe Platter Play mode allows the speed of the turntable to be controlled via the Performance Pads and opens up new possibilities for musical live performances, whereby the RP-8000 MK2 can be used like an instrument. A total of 22 scales and 34 notes can be selected with the option to create up to 9 user-defined scales. The two speed selection buttons serve in the Platter Play mode of the pitch bending function and allow the pitch of the audio material played to be increased or decreased in semitone steps. In addition, the speed of the turntable can also be controlled via an external MIDI keyboard.High-resolution pitch section with digital faderVia the precise pitch scale, the pitch can be read and adjusted easily. In addition to the classic pitch ranges +/-8 % and +/-16 %, the RP-8000 MK2 can also be used with the Ultrapitch setting +/-50 %. With this, you can creatively influence the pitch of the played record, for example. If quartz lock is activated, the speed of the played disk remains unaffected by the position of the pitch fader.Powerful motor with extensive setting optionsThe quartz-controlled hybrid turntable instrument is equipped with a strong upper-torque direct drive. By fine-tuning the motor control using digital correction, the synchronism fluctuations of the RP-8000 MK2 could be further reduced, which leads to a particularly high smoothness. The starting torque can be adjusted continuously in the range of 2.8 - 4.5 kg/cm, as well as the stop speed in the range of 0.2 - 6 sec. The heavy precision-made, pressure-cast aluminum plate has been fitted with a rubber insert to reduce vibrations and resonances.Indestructible & robust housing constructionUsing metal, rubber and plastic elements, the housing of the RP-8000 MK2 was additionally stiffened and complained. This makes the record player very vulnerable to vibrations, for example caused by the loud bass playback in the DJ booth. Shock-absorbing feet on the bottom of the record player co... More
