When I started mixing, I realised that one of the most important skills is beatmatching. Of course it is possible to press the sync button every time, but learning by hearing seems to be useful. I found a well written tutorial which describes all the ins and outs of beatmatching.

Since a couple of weeks I am the owner of a Reloop digital jocky 2 controller edition. A nice digital MIDI mixer for beginners just lik me. When I connected the mixer to my Mac, it worked immediately with Traktor. Since some midi mappings did not worked out I decided to remap these functions.

Unfortunately, the Reloop digital jocky 2 manual did not have any MIDI map inside. I decided to spend a couple of hours to figure out the MIDI layout. There might be other people who would like to have the layout as well. You can download the MIDI layout in the PDF format, or from the images shown below.

If you notice any mistakes, please post them in the comments so I can update the MIDI layout files. I would like to thank Marthijn for checking the draft versions of the MIDI layout for any mistakes.
