The RP-8000 MK2 is Reloop's flagship direct-drive turntable, built for Serato DJ Pro but MIDI-mappable to other software. Its standout feature is a bank of eight RGB performance pads on the deck itself, covering cue, sampler, loop, slicer and pitch play modes, plus a Platter Play mode that turns the pads into a pitch controller for melodic performance. It suits digital vinyl DJs who want pad control without a separate controller, and hybrid scratch and live-remix performers. Against the Technics SL-1200 line it trades the classic feel and resale following for built-in MIDI and pad control; against the Pioneer DJ PLX-1000 it offers far more software integration but a less purist, analog-first design.

Owners and reviewers treat the RP-8000 MK2 as a serious hybrid deck, praising the pad integration with Serato and the build quality. Most criticism centers on weight, complexity and the fact that its extra features only pay off in a digital setup.
The Reloop RP-8000 MK2 is a direct-drive DJ turntable with a built-in MIDI feature section. It is designed for plug-and-play use with Serato DJ Pro, including digital vinyl (DVS) setups, and it can control any MIDI-compatible DJ software. Eight RGB-lit performance pads cover seven modes (Cue, Sampler, Saved Loops, Pitch Play, Loop, Loop Roll and Slicer) plus 2 user modes with custom assignments. A multi encoder lets you browse tracks and load them to the deck from the turntable.
Platter Play mode uses the pads to control the platter's pitch, offering 22 scales and 34 notes, with up to 9 user-defined scales. The two speed select buttons bend pitch in this mode and raise or lower the pitch in half-tone steps. An external MIDI keyboard can also control the platter speed. A quartz-driven motor with digital pitch correction has an adjustable starting torque of 2.8 to 4.5 kg/cm, and the brake speed is adjustable from 0.2 to 6 seconds. The heavy die-cast aluminum platter is lined with vibration-reducing rubber.
The statically balanced S-shaped tone arm has a hydraulic lift, anti-skating and adjustable height/vertical tracking angle (VTA). It uses a universal SME connection for cartridge systems. The housing combines metal, rubber and synthetic materials, and shock-absorbing feet help isolate the unit from bass vibrations. The surface has a scratch-resistant deep black metallic finish. A recessed rear connection panel allows mounting in a flight case. An additional output allows connection to 2 mixers at once, and the RCA and mains cables are detachable.
