Rane ONE MKII Motorized DJ Controller

The Rane One MKII is a professional motorized DJ controller that builds upon the success of its predecessor by introducing significant upgrades focused on modern creative workflows, particularly in the realm of Stems and internal effects.

Dual Motorized Platters

At the heart of the MKII are the dual motorized 7.2-inch platters with adjustable torque settings, which provide the tactile response and authentic vinyl feel that Rane is known for. This core feature ensures a seamless transition for turntablists into the digital sphere. The controller's legendary MAG FOUR crossfader remains, but the channel faders have been upgraded to the new PRECISION FEEL FADERS, which offer adjustable tension for ultra-smooth and accurate mixing, providing a level of customizability for every DJ’s preference.

Serato DJ Pro’s Stems

A major enhancement in the Rane One MKII is its deep integration with Serato DJ Pro’s Stems functionality. The controller now features dedicated Acapella and Instrumental buttons, allowing DJs to instantly isolate or remove vocal or instrumental elements of a track. This is complemented by new performance pad modes like Stem FX and Stem Roll, which enable real-time manipulation of individual track elements. DJs can also control stem levels using the EQ knobs for a truly intuitive and hands-on mixing experience, making live remixing and mashups more fluid than ever before.

Built-In Effects

In addition to the Stems integration, the MKII introduces a powerful suite of internal hardware effects. With a total of 29 new effects and a dedicated OLED display, the controller moves some of its processing away from software dependence. The addition of Channel FX allows the filter knob to control four different effects per deck, including Filter, Filter Roll, Flanger, and Noise. The classic FX paddles can now be used to trigger these internal effects, offering a more direct and expressive way to apply effects.

Massive Connectivity 

Further improvements to the Rane One MKII include a refined layout and enhanced control features. A new, dedicated Sampler volume knob is conveniently located on the front panel, streamlining sample management. The controller also introduces a new Secondary Pad area which gives DJs the ability to activate two different pad modes simultaneously, providing greater creative freedom and workflow efficiency. The unit retains all of the professional-grade connectivity of the original, including dual USB ports for seamless changeovers, multiple mic inputs, and balanced XLR outputs for main and booth, ensuring it is ready for any professional setting. The sleek new white finish not only offers a distinctive aesthetic but also improves visibility in dimly lit environments.
