Thanks for stopping by! We appreciate your opinion about the Reloop Keypad Pro.

[therealzyrix]

The wind controller sounds cool, i have seen some of those elsewhere and always wondered how that would work for someone who is not a wind instrumentalist? Would love to see your thoughts

[lariatolariato]

That new Synido controller looks fire. Would love a comparison with the Machine Micro when you get around to reviewing it

[jamesw]

That Reloop controller is very interesting. So was the other one. I like how they're moving toward giving us more DAW control here.

[haggardjeff]

Love you, man! I'm 62 and dig your content.

[RickyTinez]

Gonna put me on blast like that? 😂 awesome video Taetro!!❤

[Bashanvibe]

I hope one day soon I can enjoy the experience at NAAM meeting my favorite YT creators and industry musicians

[benwhitaker]

Stevie Wonder wandering is crazy work! hahahha Great Vid :)

[duarteestelita]

it looks like you had a great time, man ;) , minus the strain of the physical part of things.

The Synido TempoPad looks interesting.
And i hope you make a video comparing the ReLoop Keypad Pro with the Novation LaunchKey M. mk4, which is, imo, the current #1 mini MIDI controller keyboard .
(I might hold getting one, and wait for your review on the ReLoop) .


thanks for this ;)

PS: no news on the Erae 2 ?

[owizlo]

tinez and the 2015 is the funniest shit. lol😂


i almost got the mpc key 61 or 37 instead of the digitakt2 last month, still planning to grab a mpc with keys in it sometime soon. the native stuff just makes it nicer.

the way they changed key groups into a synth on the 3.0 update is probably the coolest part of namm and all gear right now.

there are some absurd like kontakt number of key group presets and now they are all basically starting points for tweaking.

also the amount of smart people who have designed their own key groups for the box over the years is legit af.

so anyway, i think there is a legit hole in youtube for mpc content with your musical style.

i spent a lot of time trying to find mpc youtubers who made things a left of center, beside jon wayne, and a few other stand outs, didn't have much luck. so yeah, good spot imo.

That Keypad Pro looks like a good fit for a Seqtrak or such!

[BurgerPlanetLive]

When are you dropping the ReLoop Keypad Pro Review/Tutorial???! I'm trying to figure out if I want to order one, but no one has a done a deep dive into it yet...

Been meaning to pick an artinoise recorder up!

[DrewKaji]

I feel that more producer will get into dj’ing soon

[TigroGumi]

Weirdly they have not yet put a looper into a turntable and the Korg one is very limited and might be out done quite quickly if other companies doing the same thing adds this future to their portable scratch turntable.
Usually loop functions have been in the mixers or software and the portable DJ turntables have had the crossfader but not looping functions, but have become quite common to be used.
Although this one is quite basic in the loop function and only a few more features need to be added to completely out do this one... a looper and one of these tables will greatly out do it... you can also only loop the turntable not the inputs and the turntable does not have a start stop button, it goes the second you bring the needle towards it.
Something you want to be in control of when scratching.

[johnsuggs]

This is pure trouble lol
That reloop controller for 250....it'll be mine soon.
I already know I can't resist so why try

[HustonSingletary]

Great review brother. Glad you avoided Namm-Thraxx as well.

[MarianoPerez]

The mpc x can be used as a sound design synth man. Specially with the NI stuff. I mean, you can theoretically replace hybrid workflows like waldorf iridium. I might get one over a moog muse.

[roger-wy]

saw ni saw arturia saw my good homies qbert rh kendo need that lil daw form reloop namm was sick

[Collect-AI]

Thanks for sharing. Does Air Wave work with any other controller or only with lumi?
