Can anyone share experience using Reloop Digital Jockey 2 Interface Edition with VirtualDJ V6?
i'm considering getting one but i'm not sure if i will be able to use all features like touch sensitive jog wheels, FX jog or TCV.
Any experience will be really appreciated

Yes, the ReloopDJ 2 IE unit is supported in the latest version of VirtualDJ and you can use the touch sensitive platters/jogs.

To continue this topic, does one need Reloop DJ 2 IE mapping XML file downloaded and placed into Devices folder for Reloop DJ 2 IE to work properly?
Also, in several words, how do I go remapping specific functions of specific button on Reloop controller?
Thanks and regards,
Pasha

No you do not need any special files ... the definition and mapping is part of the installed exe.

Can anybody tell me what the settings are for using the reloop DJ2 IE?
I have a macbookpro, OSX 10.6.2 and VDJpro 6.0.3.
What are the audio settings and how can I use de Reloop?
VDJ doesn't seem to recognise it.
Thx,
Glenn

Ok, I have installed the trial of latest VDJ 6.0.3 Pro. It is supposed to be fully functional for that 20 day period. Is that right?
Still, I cannot seem to have mapping for my Reloop DJ IE 2. It just is not recognized in the Mappers Tab of VDJ configuration. Once Reloop is connected to the PC's USB, all I get is "Simple MIDI wrapper".
Granted, Reloop gets recognized in Sound Setup Tab as a sound card (Digital Jockey - IE2) and I can hear the sound in the headphones output.
Is there still a file (or smth else) missing for VDJ 6 Pro to support the mapping for Reloop DJ IE2?
Thanks,
Pasha
PS Sincerely, I just want to try out my Reloop IE2 controller with VDJ Pro before I pay that $300 for it.

I think you do need the mapper defenitions (http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/9122/RELOOP_DJ_IE2_Definition.html) in order to have it recognized by VDJ as it is not listed if you switch to show all devices, correct ?

Hey rdhrkns,
did that make it for you? Did your Reloop DJ IE2 start working after you placed that file into Devices folder?
Could you please tell us more about your experience using Reloop DJ IE2 with VDJ 6. What do you like, are there any issues?
Thanks a lot,
Pasha

I have tested the controller edition on VDJ 6.0.2 and it was ok without any definition file.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAu_zKuby0I (sorry but it's in Italian and no English)
I don't know if the interface edition have some different midi message, for what I can see in the official reloop video the interface edition have jog touch sensitive and controller edition no.

Depending upon the firmware version you have to update the sysexid in the xml file to have it recognized. Use the MIDI trace utility to find the right number for you as described in the previous post by DarthGoofy.
You can see the firmware's version number incremented over the one in the downloaded mapper in the Tools & Drivers section here: (...50001... -> ...50002...)
I'm starting to get myself more and more familiar and comfortable using the controller. Started to tweak the script actions to better suit my style of playing and using my setup. I verry much ike the big platter layout (touch sensitive) and the enormous amount of rotary's, buttons combined with the powerful new VDJ6 script.
The only thing I'm still struggling within VDJ itself is that during start up the rotary's & button's positions are not respected by the interface. But this "issue" is regardless of the controller used.
@DarthGoofy:
For the headphone issue have a look at the routing under the ASIO configuration for the different chanels. eg. 1+2 = master output & 3+4 = headphone/booth output.

I downloaded the asio driver for mac:
http://www.reloopdj.com/forum/index.php/board,72.0.html
But I cannot choose it under osx.
When I use VDJ under windows, I can choose the asiodriver.
I also have Traktor Pro and no headphonesproblem with this program using mac.

All right, here is my two cents about Reloop Digital Jockey (DJ) Interface Edition 2 used with VDJ Pro 6.
Was planning to write it up here for a little while.
To be honest, I am just starting to use Reloop DJ IE2 with VDJ 6. Have played at 4 gigs with it.
Have changed only several mappings fromt the default setup, including disabling Crossfader, as I don't use it when dj'ing.
Here is a quick description of my setup: Windows XP Pro (service pack 3), VDJ Pro 6.0.2, Reloop DJ IE2 connected through a USB, sound comming out of integrated sound card on Reloop (Output RCA connectors). So there is just one USB cable comming out of PC and one RCA cable into the PA system.
The good:
Reliability - this is my primary concern, as I hate VDJ or (Windows) PC itself crashing in the middle of the gig with 100+ people on the dance floor.
I am happy to say that Reloop DJ IE2 has been stable so far. No unexpected hickups or crashes or anything like that during play.
The feel - the buttons (especially Cue-Pause-Play) feel quiet firm and nice on the controller. Someone has already mentioned about the EQ knobs being kinda wobbly on Reloop DJ IE2, since they are push-to-kill knobs beside the standard rotary operation. This requires getting used to after using pioneer DJM 800 or similar mixers.
In general, the controller feels and looks higher grade, not a cheap budget option.
As far as the feel is concerned, I have to mention one more thing. The jogwheels feel different from say Pioneer CDJ player jogwheels. These here are much looser, they spin longer after realeasing hand. This also requires some getting used to.
Reloop has made a througtful touch by including Pitch Bend buttons close to the joggwheels for minute adjustment when beatmixing.
The bad:
The sound - the sound quality comming out of the integrated sound card is not that good. For example writing that same song onto a CD and playing it from a CD player makes for a much richer sound being heard. I would rate the integrated soundcard at 6.5 in a scale of 10. Something like that.
So summing up this short review, I would recommend you guys buy Reloop DJ 2 Controller Edition. You will save some dough for an external USB card, which you may use for a better quality sound. Otherwise, a great controller, i'd say.

Hey dj betty,
basically, if you want to use Reloop with VDJ, you will have to purchase a legal copy of the software. I could use it only with an additional file found here: http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/9122/RELOOP_DJ_IE2_Definition.html
And for that thing you need a license. Here goes your $300. :-/
By the way, the Play button on the left deck of my Reloop DJ IE2 is getting somewhat glitchy. I guess I will have to open the unit myself and learn how to service it, since I know nobody around my place who knows how to repair that thing. I do have a warranty though. But would need to ship it back to Germany for that.
