10. MIDI
The RP-8000 offers the possibility to control MIDI compatible software via the integrated USB Port -29-. This port serves for MIDI communication
and controlling of DJ software like for example Serato Scratch Live and many more. In the operating system the player will automatically be reco-
gnized as “RP-8000” via plug and play (compatible with Windows 7/8, Mac OS X) without the need for a special driver.
10.1 Performance Mode Section
Via the buttons CUE, LOOP, SAMPLE and USER -24- various modes can be controlled in your DJ software.

When CUE mode is active, it is possible to store and trigger up to 8 CUE points via the eight Drum Pads -25-. If you hold the button and simul-
taneously press one of the 8 Drum Pads, the respective CUE point will be deleted.
- When LOOP mode is active, various auto loop lengths can be directly (de-)activated.
- In SAMPLER mode the corresponding sample slots in your DJ software will be started. If you hold the button, the samples can be stopped by
pressing the trigger pads again.
- USER mode is unassigned and can be configurated freely. In Serato Scratch Live the drum roll effect is integrated.
NOTE! Mappings for Serato Scratch Live/DJ are available on the product homepage (www.reloop.com). Please check this site regularly for new

2. Press and hold the TRAX Encoder -26- for more than 3 seconds. The pitch display shows which channel is currently being used. “CH-1” corre-
sponds to deck A (also called deck 1). “CH-2” corresponds to deck B, “CH-3” corresponds to deck C and “CH-4” corresponds to deck D.
3. Now turn the TRAX encoder to select the desired channel.
4. Confirm this change by pressing the TRAX encoder.
NOTE! You can carry out this setting also during ongoing operation. The single channels simultaneously correspond to the active MIDI channel.
10.5 Turntable Link
This turntable offers the possibility to link up to four RP-8000 so that only one USB cable has to be connected to your computer. To do so, connect
the USB cable from the USB Port -29- of one turntable to the USB TT Link Port -30- of the turntable that should be connected. Then connect the
turntable with the free USB Port -29- to the computer. The turntable connected to the computer is always the master turntable and set automati-
cally to deck 1 (“CH-1”). The second turntable will be assigned to deck 2.
