Terminal Mix 4, also called TM4, is a digital controller and DJ mixer from Reloop designed for integration with Serato software.

The TM4 is an all-in-one 4 deck controller with full turntable functionality, packed in slim 6" aluminum platters. It features 3-fold EQ with intelligent kill technique and filter modulation capabilities per channel. Any of the 4 channels can be easily assigned to the crossfader via the controls on the front panel, where you can adjust the crossfader curve.

Pitch bending capability was also improved in Terminal Mix 4, it now has a 14 bit pitch fader with 100mm increments for precision mixing and blending.

Four management buttons are now found within the master section which lets you access your playlist directly and assign specific tracks per button.

One of the qualms about this professional quality hardware is ironically the lack of professional software in the package. It only comes with Serato DJ Intro and Virtual DJ 7 LE which cannot utilize the full potential of the hardware. You will have to buy the Pro version of the software to enjoy its full features. Still, all these essential DJ tools are built into a controller that feels like a sturdy tank, Serato enthusiasts would find the TM4 worth checking out.
