Reloop hat es mit dem Jockey 3 Master Edition wieder geschafft, eine neue Qualitätsstufe zu erreichen. Die Haptik und Klangqualität des Geräts überzeugen und die eigenständige Nutzbarkeit der Mischpultsektion erlaubt ein breites Einsatzfeld. Mobilen DJs und ambitionierten Hobbyanwendern können wir dieses Gerät bedenkenlos empfehlen.

Mit dem Reloop Jockey 3 spielt der Equipmenthersteller Reloop erstmals in der Premiumliga unter den Controller Herstellern. So wurde dem Jockey 3 ein hochwertiges Audio-Interface mit Burr-Brown AD/DA-Wandler spendiert und die Bedienelemente grundlegend überarbeitet. Das daraus resultierende Gewicht sei dem Jockey 3 verziehen, schließlich ist das Gehäuse eines der hochwertigsten Konstruktionen auf dem Markt.

Reloop has really been getting their act together in the controller department and has quietly been putting out better controllers each year. With their newest device (the Jockey 3), Reloop has produced a really solid two deck controller that will give the new VCI-100 MkII some quality competition.

This is an important controller because it is the first to map all of Traktor Pro 2's functions effectively apart from, of course, the Kontrol S4. While it doesn't have four separate channels that can be controlled simultaneously, actually if you are attracted to Traktor Pro 2 and the S4 because of the sample decks, that is not a big issue, as this controller maps the sample decks well to its myriad buttons and knobs and so offers an attractive workflow without four separate mixer channels.

The Jockey 3 is a great controller for those of you who are pure mixers. You set cues, loops, tweak your eq and effects, and probably mix fader up and down. Track navigation couldn't be easier and the layout is very logical. It also allows for customization within your software of choice and it is definitely portable and road worthy.
De Reloop Jockey 3 Master Edition is kortom een geweldige controller voor iemand die nog geen Native Instruments S4 wil kopen maar toch de nieuwe voordelen van de Traktor 2 software wil benutten. Jammer genoeg is hij wel geleverd met Traktor LE en is er een upgrade nodig om alle functies van deze controller in combimatie met NI Traktor 2 te kunnen benutten. Voor de prijs van de Jockey 3 krijg je een enorm goede controller waarmee je vele uren plezier kan en zal beleven. En indien je geen mapping voor je software kunt vinden, kun je de Jockey 3 ook nog altijd zelf midimappen!
