Geschreven door AboutDJ vrijdag, 20 mei 2011 16:19

De opvolger van de Reloop Digital Jockey is bijna leverbaar. Met de Jockey 3 gaat Reloop de lat hoger leggen en hun topmodel tot nu toe overtreffen. Tevens is het de eerste DJ MIDI controller die volledig afgestemd is op de nieuwe Traktor Pro 2 DJ software, welke nu sinds enkele maanden beschikbaar is in Nederland. Dat Reloop en Native-Instruments het goed met elkaar konden vinden, wisten we al, maar wordt nu nogmaals bevestigd. De Jockey 3 is nu bijna leverbaar in Nederland en natuurlijk is er al contact geweest met de importeur om een model hier te krijgen voor een uitgebreide review. Tevens zal de Mixage snel nog aan een review worden onderworpen, want ook hier komen toch steeds meer vragen over binnen.
