With the Keypad Pro, Reloop offers more than just a simple master keyboard: the idea is to combine, in a portable format, a 25-note keyboard, performance pads, and an advanced control section dedicated to session management. This "compact workstation" approach fits current producer workflows, blending keyboard composition, rhythmic creation on pads, and mix automation directly from the controller.
The inclusion of an OLED screen and a Perform Mode clearly steers the Keypad Pro towards a smoother workflow: parameters are visualized in real time and essential channel settings are quickly accessible without breaking the creative flow.
The Reloop Keypad Pro is aimed at musicians who want to compose quickly and fine-tune control of their DAW, both in the studio and on the go. Its USB or battery power supply (3x AA) and Bluetooth MIDI facilitate production on laptops or mobile devices, while the connectivity (USB, MIDI Out, sustain) also allows integration into more traditional setups.
Whether you work at home, in residency, rehearsal rooms, or backstage, the Keypad Pro is designed to stay efficient: responsive pads, backlit controls, encoder navigation, and a performance-oriented layout to keep your hands on the controller rather than the mouse.
To speed up writing, the Keypad Pro includes musical tools that make a daily difference. The Scale mode helps stay "in key" for clean melodies, while the Chord function simplifies chord playing. Add an arpeggiator with multiple patterns, and you get a controller capable of generating ideas quickly, whether in electronic music, pop, hip-hop, or ambient.
The 16 velocity-sensitive RGB pads are designed for performance and production: creating drum patterns, launching scenes, triggering samples, or controlling effect parameters. The aftertouch adds an extra layer of expression to modulate a filter, reverb, or effect intensity with a simple sustained press, with clear visual feedback thanks to the backlighting.
The Keypad Pro goes beyond entry-level controllers with a dedicated section featuring 8 linear faders, an endless encoder (pan), two potentiometers (send/return), and three backlit buttons (Channel, Solo, Rec). The DAW controls (Play, Stop, Rec, Loop, etc.) allow recording and editing without interrupting the flow, while the "Shift" button provides access to secondary functions to maximize control power without adding more buttons.
Designed to adapt to various setups, the Keypad Pro offers both a wired USB connection and a Bluetooth MIDI solution for cable-free work. The passive USB hub (2x USB-A) is a real plus for simplifying a mobile setup, and the MIDI output allows controlling compatible instruments via adapter. This is complemented by a sustain pedal input, essential for more piano-like playing and natural takes.
Finally, the included software bundle (Bitwig Studio 8-Track, Loopcloud Studio, Melodics, Serato Studio, and a multi-effects plugin) reinforces the "ready to produce" vocation: ideal for quickly starting or enriching an existing production environment.
