2 x Reloop RMP-3 alpha CD Players 1 x Reloop RMX40 Mixer i have this exact setup and they go pretty hard. just as good as the cdj1000's +thensum features. but also lacking a few features also. for a beginner it should be awesome. but if you can get your hands on cdj1000's or higher your best off. also.. im running it on timecoded cd's so im not using midi. so i dont really know how they go for midi's but i think their soul purpose was for midi anywhos.
