If you want to use the unit with an iPad “on the go”, powered directly from your phone or tablet, you can do that too, as long as your iPad is USB-C. This method works with all compatible iDevices, USB-C or Lightning. This way, the iDevice’s power supply powers both the controller and your device.

You then plug the supplied cable from your tablet/phone’s charger (you can use a power bank too, as long as it can provide 5V/2A) into the Reloop Buddy’s USB-A socket, and then plug your phone or tablet’s charging cable from the Reloop Buddy to the phone/tablet. iPad/iPhone poweredįor iPad/iPhone when using your device’s charger, you move the little switch on the left-hand side of the unit to “iOS”. Setting up is not particularly intuitive, so it pays to study the set-up guide properly.

Reviewing the software itself is outside the scope of this Reloop Buddy review.)

(Note also that djay Pro software requires a subscription to use it to its full potential, and that a single subscription covers you to use the software on both Mac and iPad/iPhone. The way you set your unit up depends upon what hardware you will be running djay Pro software on. One of the ways it does this is by switching the three mixer knobs per channel to Neural Mix, so they can be used for fading in and out drums, harmonic and vocal elements of your tracks. That’s why we were so eager to make this Reloop Buddy review. (One of the knobs is mapped to Filter.)īut the real reason this DJ controller exists is for controlling Algoriddim’s Neural Mix real-time stems separation feature. It does mean you only get two-band EQ, though, which is a bigger loss. There are only three knobs per mixer channel, so no independent channel gains – users of this controller will be quite happy with software auto gain, so no great loss there. The 1/8″ socket is for headphones, and the two RCA sockets are the master out left and rights.

The right-hand side of the unit, where we can see the headphones controls (volume and headphones mix), plus the master volume control. Quite pleasingly, its tiny two-channel mixer has got paddles for controlling the currently chosen effect, much like those found on “grown up” scratch DJ gear such as the Pioneer and Rane scratch mixers, as well as on competitors like the Numark Mixtrack FX controllers. The loop encoder and Shift buttons on the decks are similarly mirror-imaged. Sensibly for a controller of this size, it follows the “mirror image” layout of decks, so the left-hand deck has its pitch slider to the left, the right-hand deck, to the right. There are no sockets or control on the back or front of the unit unusually, the connections for power and computer (see below) are on the left, and the master out, headphones in, and headphones/master volume and headphones mix controls are on the right-hand side of the unit.

The left-hand side of the unit, showing the two USB sockets for PC and iOS, the Kensington Lock, and the iOS/PC switch. Another area where it wins over that controller is that its pads are much better: They’re rubberised, not hard plastic, and RGB. Unlike the Pioneer DJ DDJ-200, though, it has a built-in audio interface. It has small jogwheels (not as small as those on the even-tinier Numark DJ2GO2 Touch, but small), but manages to squeeze in eight performance pads per deck.

It’s a small, plastic, entry-level DJ controller, slightly smaller than the Pioneer DJ DDJ-200. So how well does it work? Is it fun to use? Is it good value? Who is it for? We’ll answer all of these questions in this Reloop Buddy review, which concentrates mainly on the iPad and Mac implementations, for the reasons stated above.

(You will have to pop your iPad out of its case to slot it in, though.)

It pairs particularly well with djay Pro AI running on iPad, because it also has a built-in iPad stand (a slot at the rear of the unit), making the combination of iPad and Reloop Buddy a particularly neat, portable DJing solution. Learn to DJ using ANY gear: The Complete DJ Course It is the first controller that has specific controls for these features, which is one of its selling points. It is particularly suited to Apple versions of djay Pro, because they include Neural Mix, Algoriddim’s feature that lets you separate vocals, drums and music in real time when DJing. The Reloop Buddy is a small, entry-level DJ controller, designed specially for use with Algoriddim’s djay Pro software. First Impressions / Setting up Introduction
