Audio

This controller is a MIDI and audio class compliant device so it is compatible as-is with Linux, MacOS and Windows. On Windows, the manufacturer ships an ASIO low-latency driver that can be found on the manufacturer’s product page.

The microphone 🎤 input can be set to different modes. To make it usable in Mixxx, set it to SW. The MASTER and PHONES level controls work directly on the audio hardware and can’t be mapped in Mixxx.

All mapped controls use MIDI channel #1 (can be changed on the back of the device). Most functions on this controller are quite self-explanatory and mapped in that way (you might want to check the official manual too).

User-adjustable script settings

The Reloop-Mixage.scripts.js controller script provides the following settings:

  • scratchByWheelTouch (default false): change to true to get a more regular, turntable-like mode, i.e. scratch by touching the jog wheel instead of having to toggle the disc button. Note that the jog wheels are not very sensitive to touch though (sensitivity can be adjusted on the back of the controller in the MK1 version).

  • scratchTicksPerRevolution (default 620): Change this to adjust the scratch speed. Smaller values mean « faster », higher mean « slower ».

  • jogWheelScrollSpeed (default 1.0): Adjust this to change the jog wheel scroll speed. The higher the values, the faster.

Controller diagnostic functions

Turn off the controller and hold one of these buttons while turning on the controller:

  • Right SHIFT to display the firmware version on the four deck play/cue buttons. The number is display in little-endian binary, e.g 0101 meaning 5.

  • Right ⏯ to show jog wheel touch values. This can be used to adjust sensitivity on the MK1 version.

  • Left ⯈⯇ to light up all LEDs. Can be helpful when repairing the controller or replacing the LEDs.
