Performance Pads
The RANE ONE comes with 8 performance pads that can be used across 10 different performance pad
modes.
These consist of:
HOT CUE mode: Pads 1-8 trigger Serato DJ Pro Cue points, and if no Cue point is present on that slot/pad, pressing that pad will set a Cue point. Holding down the SHIFT button while pressing a pad will delete the Cue point from the respective pad/slot.
SAVED LOOP mode: Pads 1-8 activate the corresponding Saved Looped. Press the corresponding pad to activate the loop, press again to deactivate. Holding SHIFT and pressing a pad will jump to the start of the corresponding Saved Loop.
LOOP ROLL mode: Holding pads 1-8 activates a loop roll of varying sizes. Release the pad to exit the Loop Roll. Use the ‘PARAMETER’ buttons to change the 8 selected loop size options.
SAMPLER mode: Press pads 1-8 in this mode to trigger samples loaded into the Serato DJ Pro Sampler. Use the ‘Parameter’ buttons to move through banks A to D.
SLICER mode: In this mode, a specified range (or domain) is divided into eight equal sections, and these eight sliced sections are assigned to the respective performance pads (1-8), and can be triggered by pressing them. The domain shifts as the track duration elapses. Use the Parameter buttons to set the quantization for the slicer function to 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, or 1. Hold SHIFT and use the ‘PARAMETER’ buttons to change the size of the domain.
PITCH PLAY mode: Hold SHIFT while pressing the HOT CUE pad mode button to enter PITCH PLAY mode. PITCH PLAY mode requires the Serato Pitch ‘n Time DJ expansion pack to be activated, see the PITCH PLAY section for more information.
SAVED FLIP mode: Hold SHIFT while pressing the SAVED LOOP to enter SAVED FLIP mode. In this mode, pressing pads 1-6 triggers saved Flips, from saved Flip slots 1-6. Holding SHIFT while pressing pads 1-6 will turn the respective Flip on and pressing it again will turn the Flip off. SAVED FLIP mode requires the Serato Flip expansion pack to be activated.
AUTO LOOP mode: Hold SHIFT while pressing the ROLL mode button to enter AUTO LOOP mode. Pads 1-8 trigger an auto loop of variable sizes. These loop sizes are fixed sizes from 1/16 - 8 beat loops.
SCRATCH BANK mode: Hold SHIFT while pressing the SAMPLER mode button to enter SCRATCH BANK mode. Scratch Bank Mode allows you to assign files in your Serato DJ Pro library to a pad. When a pad is triggered, the corresponding file will be loaded to the deck.
Click the Scratch Banks panel toggle button (pictured below) in the top left-hand corner of the Serato DJ Pro user interface to reveal the Scratch Banks panel.
Here you can click and drag tracks into slots in the Scratch Banks panel, adjust preferences that are remembered when the respective Pad is triggered and loaded to a deck, and eject tracks. You can reveal those preferences (such as start point, Key lock on/off, and Repeat on/off) by toggling between Advanced and Simple view in the Scratch Banks panel, by clicking the toggle button (pictured below).
The left set of pads will load Scratch Bank assigned tracks to Deck 1, and the right set of pads will load assigned tracks to Deck 2. Holding SHIFT on your device, while pressing an assigned/loaded Pad, will reload the previously loaded track to the relevant virtual deck.
SLICER LOOP mode: Hold SHIFT while pressing the ‘SLICER’ mode button to enter SLICER LOOP mode. In this mode, a specified range (or domain) is divided into eight equal sections, and these eight sliced sections are assigned to the respective performance pads (1-8). However, unlike SLICER mode, the domain does not shift and is a static ‘loop’. Press pads 1-8 to trigger the respective ‘slice’. Use the Parameter buttons to set the quantization for the slicer function to 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, or 1. Hold SHIFT and use the ‘PARAMETER’ buttons to change the size of the looped domain.
DJ-FX
The FX panel button is displayed in the top left area of the main Serato DJ Pro screen, click on this to toggle the DJ-FX panel.
With the DJ-FX panel open, you have control of two DJ-FX units, and if your hardware supports it, Channel FX, which can be applied to tracks played through your connected Serato DJ-hardware.
Both DJ-FX & Channel FX can be controlled with your mouse, by using dedicated controls on your hardware (where available), or by MIDI mapping controls to the respective software functions.

Pitch Play
There are 3 key ranges to choose from, and the following tables show the pitched key ranges (in Semitones) while using the 8 performance pads in Pitch Play mode.
The root keypad (0) is always lit white, which will play the cue point at its regular pitch.
Use the Parameter Left & Right buttons to move the Key Range up or down.
In Pitch Play mode, pressing a pad will pitch the currently selected cue point up or down the following ranges:
Up Range: (Up 7 Semitones)
| +4 | +5 | +6 | +7 |
| 0 | +1 | +2 | +3 |
Middle Range: (Up 3/Down 4 Semitones)
| 0 | +1 | +2 | +3 |
| -4 | -3 | -2 | -1 |
Down Range: (Down 7 Semitones)
| -3 | -2 | -1 | 0 |
| -7 | -6 | -5 | -4 |
When Pitch Play mode is first enabled, the middle range is selected. Pitch Play mode will default back to the middle range if a new track is loaded. The selected range is recalled if another pad mode is selected, then
the user switches back to Pitch Play mode.
Pitch Play can only pitch one Cue point at a time. To change the selected Cue, hold the SHIFT button and press a performance pad where the cue point you want to select would be (as shown in the HOT CUE performance pad mode).
While holding SHIFT, press the corresponding performance pad for:
| Cue 1 | Cue 2 | Cue 3 | Cue 4 |
| Cue 5 | Cue 6 | Cue 7 | Cue 8 |
The selected cue point defaults to Cue Point 1 on track load, even if instant doubled. A new cue point will be created if a pad with no cue point is selected. Deleting a cue point is not possible in Pitch Play mode.
NOTE: Pitch Play mode is available once the Pitch 'n Time DJ Expansion Pack has been activated in the Expansions window, under the My Account drop-down. Then ensure Pitch 'n Time DJ is checked in the Expansion Pack tab of the Setup screen.
DVS
When a Serato DVS license is purchased and activated, this paid upgrade to Serato DVS device allows you to use connected turntables, media players or CD players to control Serato DJ Pro using NoiseMap™ Control Tone.
NOTE: Serato DVS is only available once the Serato DVS expansion pack has been activated in the Expansions window, under the My Account drop-down. Make sure Vinyl / CDJ Control is then checked in the Expansion Packs tab of the Setup screen.
