The result is a next-level DJ controller with unprecedented Serato Stems control. A dedicated Stems Pad Mode, Instrumental and Acapella buttons, and RANE's exclusive STEM-SPLIT feature provide you with the ultimate Stems workflow and experience to fully elevate your creativity as a DJ.

New Levels of Creative FX
The newly designed internal FX suite features 22 paddle-triggered, fully customizable Main FX and 4 knob-controlled Channel FX for adding flavor and personality to individual Stems elements and tracks. This robust FX suite features traditional FX classics like Reverb and Echo and exhilarating new additions including Scale Down, Recycler, Riser, and more. The Channel FX section offers dynamic, hands-on manipulation of 4 knob-controlled FX including Filter, Filter Roll, Noise, and Flanger. The RANE FOUR also allows you to switch seamless back and forth between the built-in hardware FX and Serato's software FX, providing limitless options for any style of DJing.
Four Channels of Performance Possibility
The 4-channel mixer section features full EQ control and intuitive FX assignment options, plus 2 external Line/Phono inputs for external turntables or decks. The FOUR is DVS-enabled and unlocks both Serato DJ Pro and Serato Pitch'n Time when connected to laptop running the latest version of Serato. Enhanced Sampler routing options allow you to control the Sampler volume via a dedicated knob, or assign the audio to Channel 4 so that you can layer FX on top of your DJ drops, instruments, and other samples. The quick-access deck selection buttons allow for swiftly switching platter control between software decks, and the FOUR also supports external modular decks like the RANE TWELVE MKII and the Denon DJ LC6000 for a full physical 4-deck mixing experience.
Focus on Your Performance, Not Your Laptop
The 8 OLED displays above the Performance Pads on each deck offer visual feedback for all pad modes, making it easier than ever to see the function of each pad without having to look at the computer. See Cue, Loop, and Sample names as well as Roll and Loop lengths, beat divisions, Pitch Play tuning, and Stem elements and FX.
The Best Static Platters...Ever
The 8.5" capacitive jog wheels were designed to be the smoothest and most accurate static jog wheels available on a DJ controller. A central colour display indicates play head position, BPM, pitch percentage, pitch range, overview waveform with Hot Cue markers, song key, time, loop size, deck selection, Beat Jump length and more.
Trusted RANE Quality
The RANE FOUR is the only 4-channel DJ controller built to RANE's rigorous standards. Solid, bulletproof construction, MAG-FOUR crossfader with curve adjustment and channel assignment switches, aluminum FX toggles, and industryleading sound quality and connections ensure that the RANE FOUR will always perform like a champ, no matter what.

Q & A

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
