MODULAR CONTROLLER IN PROFESSIONAL QUALITY FOR EVERY DJ SOFTWARE SURROUNDINGS

Following the great success of the Digital Jockey series, Reloop launches a modular controller by the name of "Contour" that can be perfectly integrated in every DJ software surroundings. Configured and optimized for Traktor PRO 2, it is possible to control up to four decks, due to the intelligent deck switching system. In doing so the large, backlit buttons shed light on the current status via LED feedback.

TOTAL CONTROL

Thanks to the clearly arranged segmentation, sections for deck, sample, and loop control are ready on stand-by. The extensive effect section disposes of 4 feedback encoders, 4 mini faders and further 4 rubberized buttons - intuitive remixing and controllerism deluxe. The touch-sensitive XXL jog wheel can be adjusted in 4 different modes, thus becoming interactively applicable.

FULL SIZE AND PROFESSIONAL QUALITY

With an overall of 45 controllers on 4 banks the digital DJ has a lot of elbow room: All control elements are full-size and of professional quality. The high-resolution steering signal offers ultra fast and precise Traktor control - of course Contour can also be used as MIDI controller with any other software.

4 STEREO CHANNELS & 2 HEADPHONES CONNECTIONS

The Contour Interface Edition was especially developed for DJs that wish to integrate Traktor in their existing setup. A hi-speed USB audio interface was implemented in this edition which allows routing up to 4 stereo channels to a mixer. This way Contour can be used for transport, sampler/hot cue, effect and deck control while the mixer can be used for mixing the tracks. In stand-alone mode it is also possible to use Contour with a notebook. Two headphones connections on the front side for direct monitoring are at ones disposal. Shape your performance: Get Contour.
