A next-generation controller designed for mobility and streaming
Designed and developed in close collaboration with Algoriddim, the Reloop Buddy aims for a "natural" integration with the djay ecosystem, especially for DJs mixing from a mobile music library or compatible streaming services. Its space-saving format, robust chassis, and integrated support for smartphones and tablets (up to 12.9 inches) make it a controller tailored for lightweight setups, mobile DJs, and impromptu performances.
For which DJs and uses?
The Reloop Buddy is suitable both for beginner DJs seeking an easy-to-use controller and experienced DJs looking for a compact and efficient tool. It is particularly relevant for mobile DJing (private parties, bars, rehearsals), set preparation, home streaming, or as an ultra-portable secondary controller. The responsive jog wheels and high-resolution pitch controls will appeal to DJs who want to maintain a true tactile feel for beatmatching and scratching, even in a reduced format.
Features and innovations
The Reloop Buddy features a complete performance section with 8 RGB pads per deck and 8 modes : hot cue, auto loop, touch FX, sampler, slicer, loop roll, Neural Mix, looper. Dedicated loop controls (length and activation) speed up workflow, while the effects section with selectable trigger modes (hold or toggle) facilitates clean transitions and dynamic build-ups. For precise mixing, it includes high-resolution linear pitch faders, a dedicated sync function (tempo and key), and quick-skip for fast track navigation.
On the audio and connectivity side, the 24bit/48kHz USB audio interface allows direct setup: master output via RCA to active speakers or PA system, and headphone output via 3.5mm jack with cue section (cue, mix, volume). Mobile device connection is simplified via a dedicated USB-A port, and power options remain flexible: standard USB power, external battery, or laptop (USB power optional). Finally, djay provides access to compatible libraries and services, with the ability to mix millions of tracks via supported platforms (Internet connection and subscriptions required depending on the service).
