(I’m checking with Reloop to find out if the performance pads require Serato to work, but either way, they do actually impact the platter rotation – it’s a physical result.) That gives the pads a new life, as something integral to the turntable instead of just a set of triggers for software. You can use the colored pads on the turntable, or connect an external MIDI keyboard. “Platter Play” rotates the turntable platter at different speeds to produce different pitches – rapidly. Reloop have gone one step further on the RP-8000 MK2. So digitally controlled motors were what Technics was boasting earlier this week with their SL-1200 MK7, which they say borrows from Blu-Ray drive technology (Technics is a Panasonic brand). And we’re seeing digital control on motors providing greater reliability, more precision, and broader ranges of speed on conventional turntables. We’re seeing digitally controlled motors for haptic feedback, as on the new Native Instruments S4 DJ controllers.
