Reloop Jockey 3 Me

Reloop Jockey 3 Master Edition

The Reloop Jockey 3 Master Edition is a 2 Channel Controller with the option to control 4 Channels. It has a built-in sound card with 6 channels in and 4 channels out. It features both balanced 1/4" and unbalanced RCA master outputs plus RCA booth outputs with an independent volume control. It can also be used as a stand-alone mixer, or used to mix an analog source with music files in Mixxx. This device requires a power adapter in addition to the USB cable.

Setup

The Mixxx mapping uses the same settings as Reloop's Traktor mapping. Leave the MIDI channels as the default 1-4. If you have problems with the jogwheels, set the jogwheel resolution to 2048. (Please read the manual of this Controller section 5.1 and 5.1.2)

Set the Input 1 and Input 2 switches on the front side of the Jockey 3 ME to SW.

Master output: channels 1-2
Headphone output: channels 3-4
Auxiliary or vinyl input 1: channels 1-2

Load button: load selected track into active deck
Deck switches: select between controlling deck 1/3 or analog input 1 on the left; select between controlling deck 2/4 or analog input 2 on the right. Note that the analog inputs are only affected by the mixer controls but not the other deck controls.
Gain: set deck gain
High/mid/low: adjust EQ for high/mid/low frequencies
Master/booth/phones: control the Jockey 3 ME's sound card. These knobs do not send MIDI messages or adjust values in Mixxx, so turning them will not change anything on screen. Use these but not the software knobs on screen in Mixxx (see the Mixxx manual for an explanation).

Vertical faders: deck volume

Jogwheels

Set the jog wheel mode by pressing one of the 4 buttons beside the jog wheel, below the trash and 5-8 buttons.
