Since the production of the Technics SL1200 series turntables has finally ended a few years ago, DJs looked into other brands to get the best alternative for the international standard deck. Rumors has been circulating about the possible return of Technics and Pioneer’s jump from the CDJs to real vinyl turntables which is set to release this year. Reloop, one of the leading brands in the DJ gear scene reinvented their line up of turntables with their latest offering, the RP-8000 which is specifically designed for use with Serato DJ, creating a hybrid traditional turntable combined with digital MIDI capabilities. It features 8 trigger pads with 4 banks for hot cues, loops, sample and slicer and a knob for browsing crates and loading songs. Both decks use link connection then connected to your computer via USB somewhat similar to how the Novation Dicer works. Read the full specifications of the Reloop RP-8000 Turntable here.
