Harness the Power of Serato Stems
RANE and Serato have a long history of creating groundbreaking DJ products together, dating back to the RANE SL1 box in 2004. The RANE FOUR takes this partnership to the next level by melding the industrial-grade build and sound quality of RANE hardware with the powerful new Stems capabilities of Serato DJ software. 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.

Stem Level Control
Stem levels can now be adjusted using the EQ knobs. To enter Stem Level mode, hold Shift and Press the Channel Cue button for the desired channel.

BPM Copy
The BPM from one deck can now be copied and applied to the adjacent deck. To copy the BPM, place the BPM cursor on the deck that you'd like to copy, hold Shift and move the joystick in the direction of the deck you want to apply the copied BPM to.

New Internal FX "CHOPPA"
This effect cuts the audio to simulate popular fader cut techniques. Patterns are controlled by moving the joystick up/down and include 1-click flare, 2-click flare, 3-click flare, 4-click flare, transformer, 2-to-1 alternator, triform, and uzi.

New Internal FX "MUTE"
This effect temporarily mutes or attenuates the signal level when the FX paddle is engaged.

Main Output Pre/Post
The Main meters can now show the output signal level pre or post the Main level knob. This setting can be adjusted in the device menu. Post Main knob is the default behavior.
