Take the Reins of Supercharged Mixing Possibilities
Since its 2021 debut, the all-in-one Rane One mixer and dual-deck DJ controller has been a go-to for countless performers. Now, its long-awaited successor has arrived in the form of Rane One MKII. Building on the formidable foundation of the original, the MKII delivers a wave of upgrades and enhancements to elevate your mix and spark creativity. A powerful DSP drives an expanded internal effects suite with more than two dozen evocative options, while comprehensive stem-separation controls bring modern, boundary-pushing performance tools right to your fingertips. For unmatched feel, tension-adjustable Precision Feel channel faders join the returning Mag Four crossfader, paired with an array of tactile controls — from Channel FX tabs to secondary pad-performance modes — all set within a refreshed, performance-optimized layout. The result? Maximum hands-on control and endless creative potential. This is the Rane One MKII — and we’re just getting started.

Flex your vision: dynamic stem-fueled firepower
Creating a controller worthy of the MKII name is no small task, yet the Rane One MKII more than earns its place in this celebrated DJ lineage. Leveraging modern advances in audio processing, it reaches bold new heights of live performance potential. At the heart of this leap forward are its Stem controls. Five dedicated stem-performance modes unlock a versatile tool kit of transformative effects, remixes, transitions, loops, and more, all with isolated access to Vocal, Melody, Bass, and Drum elements. The result? Precision-crafted mixes and creative possibilities limited only by your imagination.
- Acapella and Instrumental buttons: Next to each deck, you’ll find dedicated Acapella and Instrumental buttons, each of which let you instantly isolate the respective part on each deck, perfect for transitions and in-the-moment crowd work.
- Stems Level controls: The controller’s 3-band EQ pulls double duty as a deck-specific stem mixer, with High-, Mid-, and Low-band EQ controls capable of adjusting levels for Vocal, Melody, and Drum stems, respectively, to fine-tune your visionary sonic collages.
- Stems Pad mode: As one of multiple onboard pad modes, this splits each deck’s eight pads into two rows of stem controls — the top four pads mute a stem, while the four below apply FX of your choice, letting you texturize with unmatched precision.
- Stems Roll Pad mode: This powerful take on the Roll loop-building tool enables detailed looping of user-selectable sizes, with a stem-influenced twist of deciding which stems get included in the loop, and the duration of each.
- Stems FX Pad mode: Like Stems Roll Pad mode, this mode transforms your stems with the power of the One MKII’s onboard effects engine, applying Echo Out, Roll Out, Brake, and Delay FX to one or multiple stems of your choosing.
Polychromic performance-pad pliability
Eagle-eyed users of the first-gen Rane One will immediately notice a key change: the MKII swaps the former deck-mounted touch strips for dedicated buttons that select from multiple pad performance modes. Sweetwater users find this upgrade not only improves tactility and ergonomics, but also unlocks a powerful new capability: simultaneous pad modes. Now, you can activate up to three modes per deck, splitting the pads to enable multidimensional mixing with unprecedented complexity. What’s more, these pads give you another hands-on gateway for blending Vocal, Melody, Bass, and Drum stems directly into your set.
Uncompromising hands-on detail and satisfying tactility
DJs deploying the OG One controller lauded Rane for its inclusion of a Mag Four XF crossfader — an industry standard. Rane heard the calls for expanding this level of nuanced, customizable tactility and answered with dual Precision Feel vertical faders. Like the Mag Four, Precision Feel up faders feature a completely tension-adjustable design, allowing you to hone your tactility to meet your hands-on mixing needs. What’s more, the first- and second-channel up faders’ shift-functions adjust Stem Level values, meaning the detailed tactility of the Precision Feel engineering goes that much further. Additionally, the Rane One MKII introduces a dedicated volume knob for the controller’s Sampler suite to the front panel, joining the adjustable Crossfader Contour and Deck Contour controls, alongside toggling deck rotation reversals, as well as managing Level and 2-band EQ fine-tuning of the two microphone inputs and dual-stereo RCA Aux input.
Onboard DSP, FX, and expanded interfacing
At the heart of the One MKII is a blazing DSP that powers the controller’s kaleidoscopic array of next-gen potential. First up, 29 diverse and methodically designed effects rest natively in the One MKII, supplying a suite of sonic-contouring tools that span subtle and spacious to explosive and expressive, with specific effects capable of being used as fader-controlled transition tools. What’s more, this controller allows you to effortlessly toggle between using hardware and software effects, keeping your interfacing consistent, with the added OLED screen making it breezy to navigate onboard effects. Moreover, a 4-axis joystick that lets you make in-the-moment adjustments to how each effect interacts with on-tempo synchronization and off-tempo exploration. And with dedicated Channel FX knobs giving per-deck access to Filter, Filter Roll, Flagner, and Noise options, detailed, dynamic displays of mixing ingenuity are waiting to be discovered.
Serato DJ Pro and diverse interoperative power
Included with the Rane One MKII controller is a copy of the industry-leading Serato DJ Pro software, unlocking an expansive constellation of augmented performance tools across stems, effects, sampling, and so much more. But for all the powerful possibilities of Serato, the turbocharged architecture of the One MKII means the creativity of built-in hardware tools and extensive software capabilities is poised for much more. Dual USB Type-B ports make dynamic back-to-back performances instantly accessible, with two laptops fueling any number of software-driven arrangements. On the hardware side, a pair of combijacks feature both 3-pin XLR and 1/4-inch TRS support, meaning that — alongside the included dual-stereo RCA Aux input — vinyl decks, samplers, sequencers, synths, drum machines, and further hardware are seamlessly integrated.
