Press Release for Mixon
4-CHANNEL HIGH PERFORMANCE HYBRID DJ CONTROLLER
In close collaboration with Serato and Algoriddim, Reloop proudly presents the first hybrid
performance controller that fuses the two acclaimed DJ softwares with a multi-platform concept.
PLUG ‘n’ PLAY FOR SERATO DJ & djay PRO
With MIXON 4 the choice is yours. Empower your DJ set with the world’s leading DJ software,
Serato DJ (Mac/PC) and explore new innovative mixing tools and the latest expansion packs.
With Algoriddim djay PRO (iOS/MacOS), the music is at your fingertips thanks to its integration
with popular streaming service Spotify*, giving you instant access to more than 30 million tracks in
a powerful and award-winning app.
MIX ON ANYTHING!
As well as PC/Mac and Android compatibility via USB/OTG, MIXON 4 is able to connect iOS*
devices with a Lightning connection, while simultaneously charging your device. For the first time it
is possible to place an iPad PRO (12.9”) into the docking station and experience the raw
performance on up to four decks.
COLOUR-CODED PAD PERFORMANCE SECTION INCL. PITCH PLAY
With the 16 RGB, velocity-sensitive drum pads you can trigger powerful modes as Hot Cue, Loop
Roll, Sampler, Slicer, Flip* and Cue & Slicer Loop modes.
Improve your finger drumming skills in the touch-sensitive Sampler mode, which determines the
volume by how hard you trigger a pad.
The multi-coloured, backlit LED pads give you instant feedback about the active mode and reflects
the colour-coded cue points in the software.
The all-new Pitch Play* mode allows for playful and creative live remixing of cue points at different
tones and pitches.
SLIP & LOOP
With SLIP mode activated, the playing track can be manipulated with loops or scratches without
interrupting the flow of the music. The track position continues in the background, jumping to its
current position once the manipulation is over. You can also set perfect auto loops with the push of
a button in the dedicated LOOP section. The new LOOP length LED bar conveniently shows the
current beat length which can be easily selected via an encoder.
MACRO FX: DYNAMIC EFFECT COMBINATIONS CONTROL
With the unparalleled Macro FX function it is possible to creatively combine classic filters with an
additionally assignable effect per channel, allowing you to create dramatic build-ups, smooth
breaks or effect-loaded transitions using only one control knob.
HARMONIC MIXING – MUSIC IS THE KEY
With the new Harmonic Mixing function, you can now synchronize the key of different tracks at the
push of a button. MIXON 4 also offers extensive controls to adjust key & pitch in real time.
LARGE ALUMINIUM JOGs WITH LED FEEDBACK
MIXON 4’s large jog wheels have a touch-sensitive aluminum surface for tactile control, while the
virtual needle illumination informs you about the playhead position and remaining track length.
A TIDY MIXER FOR A TIDY MIX!
The sturdy 4-channel mixer gives you high-quality audio processing and an intuitive club-ready
layout with individual signal meters on each channel allowing for comfortable gain mixing. The
linefaders are precise and the assignable crossfader was optimized for fast cuts. The metal shafts
for effects, filter, EQ and gain are tightly bolted for confident and stable mixing sessions.
POWER INTERFACE & MULTIPLE CONNECTIVITY OPTIONS
The internal, low latency and low-noise USB 2.0 audio interface gives you powerful club sound on
all platforms. Along with two master outputs for professional PAs, MIXON 4 comes with booth
outputs as well as a mic and two headphone connections.

Mixtour
MIXTOUR has been designed from the ground-up to offer a compact, two-channel DJ controller which allows you to get the party started anywhere, any time. Through close cooperation with Algoriddim, we’ve been able to develop a fully integrated device that fuses vital mixer functions with a transport and remix section. Whether you’re using iOS, Android, PC** or Mac – with Reloop
The trigger modes: Transport and cue points for full control!
The Reloop MIXTOUR’s pad section comes packed with functions. The transport mode includes Play, Cue, Sync and Auto-Loop controls. In Cue mode it is possible to set, store and trigger up to 4 cue points. By entering shift mode you can also set grids or change loop lengths with the same controls. The rubberised trigger pads used for the transport controls are not only highly tactile, but they’re also lit by two-colour LEDs, indicating which mode is active so you’re never confused in the mix.
Channel-Strip with Club mixer-Design
The strong, durable, full-size control knobs and 45mm Pro-Faders are set out in the same way as a class-leading club mixer. The three-band EQ, gain trim pots, bipolar filters and VU meter (switchable between master and pre-fader) ensure you have everything you need to perform. All controls have been rigorously tested to ensure a high-quality performance every time you play, and the whole MIXTOUR carries with it a sense of solidity and reliability.
Track Management – Good navigation is half the mix!
The unique Reloop Trax-Encoder not only catches the eye, as it also gives convenient and comfortable control over your music library. We’ve also added a ‚Seek’ option to the Push-Encoder, allowing you to detect and navigate to a specific position of the selected track. The full-size load buttons can be used to navigate through the library tabs by selecting the shift layer. This enables a quick search for certain artists or titles. Another innovative new feature is the ability to manage a Queue mode, which allows you to prelisten to your next tracks. This function makes navigating huge Spotify* and iTunes track lists far easier.
Micro look – Macro usability!
The next special feature of Reloop MIXTOUR is the Macro-FX mode. This feature allows you to combine the FX and filter sections by pushing the FX-button, or you can set an effect by pushing the Shift- and FX-button at the same time. Now it’s possible to conveniently combine a Delay and a High/Low-Pass filter at the same time – micro look, macro usability!
MIDI-support for all operating systems!
As the Reloop MIXTOUR is fully MIDI-mappable, any MIDI-capable software, like Traktor or Virtual DJ, can be easily controlled. Purpose-designed mapping files will be available to download.
Mix more than 20 million tracks with Spotify & DJAY 2!
The world-famous streaming service Spotify has been part of the DJAY program since version 2.5. That means you can get direct access to millions of tracks and mix them on the fly as if they were all already on your iPad!* Your favourite artist, latest charts of your preferred genre or prepared playlists: they’re all available to you! Spotify and DJAY2 takes away the need for you to store huge music libraries on your device. Spotify is also equipped with an innovative Match- & Mixsystem which analyzes each tracks genre, BPM and pitch and through the compiled data is able to suggest the next track for your mix!
*Please note: You need a Premium-membership of DJAY for Spotify-access. A 7-day trial of Spotify-premium is available for all DJAY 2 users.
