Reloop RMP-2 Video 2. Timing, Scratch mode or is it vinyl?

0:00 Another quick review on this guy here

Alright folks, another quick review on this guy here. It's known as a tabletop CD player. It's from a company called ReLoop and the model number is RMP-2. The mixer is the Pioneer DJM600 and the monitor I've got, I've just got one of them at the moment, it's known as the iKey606. I'd better turn the down thing on as well. Right, there we go, otherwise we won't have any sound. The second the player has found the CD and is ready to play the first track. Now very important, this is very important, let's say if you've only got about a minute left before the track that's playing finishes. This is not important if there's a CD already in this unit because the unit would have sussed everything out and it's basically a case of just skipping through the tracks, getting one ready

Get the next track ready is almost instantaneous, so you haven't got to worry about it too much. And again, bearing in mind, this will give you a rough idea. So, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... Right, OK, we're looking at about 6-7 seconds. The track I'm going to be using is David Roberto featuring Manda DJing, a track entitled Deep Inside. It's one of my favourite tracks at the moment and it's out August 2008. So let's press play, here we go. That's track 1, Durr, so what I need to do is we've got search and track. So I'm going to go to track 4, I'm not going to edit this, just put it on, who gives a monkeys eh? Here we go. OK, we're on pan at the moment, we don't want to go on pan there. What I'm going to be looking at mainly with this video, if we just have a close up of...

1:58 Mainly I'm going to be looking at the timings here and the scratch mod

One corner. Mainly I'm going to be looking at the timings here and the scratch mode. Okay, what we've got here is 1 over 8, 1 over 4, 1 over 2, 3 over 4, 1 over 1, 2 over 1 and 4 over 1. What do they mean? 1 over 8 is an eighth of one beat. 1 over 4 is a quarter of one beat. 1 over 2 is half of one beat. Three over four is three quarters of one beat. One over one is one beat, the count of one. Two over one is two beats, the count of two. One, two. Four over one is the count of a four or one bar. One, two, three, four. Four, there you go. Okay, what I'm going to do now is press this button here with scratch on it. That's shining now. What happens now if I put my finger on the top of the jog wheel, have a listen. Stops. I can now use it exactly the same as a vinyl turntablist would use a vinyl player. Now also when we're in scratch mode, it is near enough exactly like something that's known as vinyl mode. For example, put my finger on the top, let's move out again slightly. Oh, that's in. Now if anyone out there is not familiar with a real vinyl turntable...

If I was to put my finger on a vinyl turntable and put slight pressure on the vinyl like so, the music would stop. Now if I was then, let's imagine this is a real vinyl turntable, I was now going to move the piece of vinyl the opposite direction to where it should be going, in other words anti-clockwise like this, the music would go backwards and that's what happens with this guy. And also something very important, dependent on how fast I move the jog wheel is dependent On how fast or slow the music will go as well. Here we go, that rhymed. Okay, also what we look at here as well, we've got this button here, reverse. Okay, another quick video on this guy here from a company called Reloop, tabletop CD player, it's known as the RMP2. Practice and enjoy, thank you very much.
