The Lowdown
Reloop just announced the RP-8000MK2, a brand new DJ deck that has controls for Serato DJ Pro. It’s an update to the original RP-8000 which was released back in 2013, and it brings a refreshed layout and a sleek all-black look. It has eight performance pads arranged vertically, as well as four mode buttons that let you choose from among seven pad modes for use with Serato DJ: Cue, Sampler, Saved Loops, Pitch Play, Loop, Loop Roll, Slicer. It’s also got a rotary encoder onboard that lets you browse your Serato library and load tracks straight to Serato DJ’s decks, and it’s still got a small display that shows you the current BPM.
