Rane Performer
From which country can I buy a Rane Performer from Sounds Market?
You can purchase a Sounds Market certified Rane Performer from any country in the European Union. We ship to Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Sweden, among other EU countries, with the exception of some island countries and territories. If the Rane Performer is offered by a private seller, shipping options are more limited.
What software does the Rane Performer work with?
The Rane Performer is primarily designed to work with Serato DJ Pro. It is also compatible with rekordbox, so it can be used with both programs, although some specific functions may depend on the software used.
Are the jog wheels on the Rane Performer motorized?
Yes. The Performer has two 7.2-inch motorized jog wheels that offer a response similar to that of a traditional turntable. Their rotation speed and motor behavior can be adjusted, making them especially suitable for scratching and turntablism.
Does the Rane Performer have stems?
Yes. The Rane Performer has dedicated Stem controls that allow you to separate elements like vocals, instruments, bass, and drums directly from the controller when using compatible software. It also has specific controls for working with these tracks independently.
What should you check before buying a used Rane Performer?
It's advisable to check the functionality of the two motorized jog wheels, faders, MAG FOUR crossfader, pads, and OLED displays. It's also recommended to test the inputs and outputs, the two USB ports, the microphone connections, and ensure the controller is correctly recognized by Serato DJ Pro.
Rane Performer vs Rane Four
Both are professional 4-channel controllers designed for Serato DJ Pro, featuring jog wheels with displays, advanced Stems functions, built-in effects, and RANE's robust construction.
The FOUR uses static 8.5"" jog wheels, while the PERFORMER incorporates motorized platters with color displays, along with MAG FOUR, two USB ports, and more built-in effects. The PERFORMER also offers greater capacity for performances with external sources.
If you're looking for a 4-channel controller focused on Stems and want to maintain a lighter form factor, the FOUR is an excellent choice. If you prioritize scratching, motorized platters, and professional features, the PERFORMER is clearly more complete.
Rane Performer vs Rane System One
The Rane System One and the Rane Performer share 7"" motorized jog wheels and 8 Performance Pads, but they have different focuses. The System One is a standalone 2-channel DJ system with Engine DJ, a 7"" touchscreen, and playback from USB or SD, while the Performer is a 4-channel controller designed for Serato DJ Pro.
The Performer adds two phono/line inputs, two USB-B connections for working with two computers, and two independent microphone inputs. The System One prioritizes standalone operation, with Wi-Fi, streaming, and playback capabilities without a computer.
In short, the System One excels in standalone functionality and portability, while the Performer offers more channels and possibilities for working with Serato and external equipment.
Rane Performer vs Rane One MK2
The Rane Performer and Rane One MKII are controllers with 7.2" motorized jog wheels, but the Performer has four channels compared to the One MKII's two. Both feature 16 RGB pads, two USB connections, and two microphone inputs.
The Performer adds 29 effects, dedicated stem controls, and two phono/line inputs for the additional channels. The One MKII is more focused on turntablism, with a central OLED screen and dedicated controls for acapella and instrumental.
Rane Performer vs Pioneer DDJ FLX10
The Rane Performer and the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX10 are 4-channel controllers compatible with Serato DJ Pro. The Performer features 7.2"" motorized jog wheels, while the DDJ-FLX10 uses conventional jog wheels with on-jog displays.
The Performer has 29 built-in effects and dedicated stem controls, while the DDJ-FLX10 has 14 Beat FX, 6 Sound Color FX, and controls to select which parts of the stems receive the effects. The DDJ-FLX10 also adds rekordbox-specific features such as Mix Point Link.
