Reloop Neon Serato DJ Pro Modular Pad Controller 8 RGB Performance Pads

Reloop Neon: Pad Control for Serato DJ Pro

The Reloop Neon is a modular performance pad controller for Serato DJ Pro, built around eight velocity-sensitive RGB drum pads. Rather than a full controller with jog wheels and faders, the Neon is a focused add-on that hands a DJ dedicated hardware pads for triggering the software's performance features. It exists for the DJ who mixes on turntables or a laptop and wants tactile, colorful pad control without reaching for the trackpad.

Eight Velocity-Sensitive RGB Pads

At its core sit eight touch-sensitive RGB pads that register how hard they are struck and glow in mode-specific colors. Velocity sensitivity means a soft tap and a hard hit produce different results, adding expression to sample and effect triggering, while the smart color coding shows at a glance which mode each pad is in. For a performing DJ, that visual feedback prevents getting lost mid-set and keeps eyes on the crowd rather than the screen.

Deep Serato Sampler and FX Integration

As an official Serato accessory, the Neon offers the most extensive SP-8 sampler control available, with a status LED on every sample slot reporting its play mode. It also provides direct access to selectable performance effects in Pad FX mode, with aftertouch for expressive, pressure-controlled modulation. For DVS users and controller DJs who lean on samples and effects, this turns fiddly on-screen menus into immediate, hands-on hardware.

Eight Performance Modes

The Neon covers eight modes: Sampler, Pad FX, Slicer, Looped Slicer, Cue, Flip, Hot Loop, and Manual Loop. Each remaps the eight pads to a different creative task, from chopping a track into playable slices to firing color-coded hot cues or building loops on the fly. This breadth lets a DJ perform live edits and re-arrangements that would be impossible with a mouse, all from one compact unit.

Flip Mode and Live Re-Editing

Among its modes, Flip lets a DJ record and play back their own cue-trigger sequences, effectively creating custom edits of a track on the fly. This captures a performed rearrangement so it can be replayed as a seamless Flip later in the set. For a creative DJ or turntablist, it opens the door to signature edits and mashups performed live rather than prepared in advance.

Portable, Expandable Hardware

The Neon is USB bus-powered and housed in an extremely flat yet sturdy body that stows easily in a DJ bag and sets up in seconds. Its Smart Link function lets two units connect through a mini-jack cable to share a single USB port, and it also carries Traktor and VirtualDJ mappings for use beyond Serato. That portability and flexibility make it an easy addition to a mobile rig, a club booth, or a DVS turntable setup.
