The Rane One Project

I must say this is a pretty option awesome. I'm slowly mapping all the controls, but it's working in DVS mode.

Pretty dope!

Hello Mutis,

I still collect 45's and like playing vinyl and I'm basing my mobile setup on the Rane One platform for portability but the ability to play in three different modes.

Vinyl, DVS and Controller Mode.

I switched to Serato DJ long ago for many reasons. However, I just got the unit on boxing and and starting experimenting yesterday to see what is possible.

At the current time I cannot use dvs mode in Serato DJ, but controller only mode works very well and will integrate with everything else I use in my setup.

Especially modding real 45s and using it on the Rane One, improves the feeling vastly.

I've tested real vinyl use there are some caveats for that if you want to use it in a hybrid setup so you can still use your application on the opposing deck for samples, etc.

The reason I went with Traktor is because I remembered it was has open DVS mode and I had Traktor 7" vinyl for lonnnnnng ago that I never used.

I also have a few Serato 7" vinyl as well. Also, I purposely wanted to use the tonearms because I still use turntables + mixer. I just decided that going forward I want to leave them in the studio and have the same setup in a smaller format. The Rane One fits that space.

Yes DJAY PRO runs on a phone but I've already tried it with other control vinyl and the tracking doesn't work well. They don't have 7" option for their native vinyl either.

Traktor was running no problem within minutes with the Rane One, the only caveat is I have to map it out. It's no big deal because I did it years ago for the NS7FX also.

So the three applications I will be working with for DVS testing on the Rane One is Serato DJ, Traktor Pro.

I can't test real vinyl with Traktor Pro yet because it doesn't have Line In support yet but I will file that elsewhere.

I'm talking to the designer/developer of the Skratch Attach app, which will work in stand alone mode with vinyl.

There are some caveats with Serato DJ currently that hamper my testing for this as well.

But this is the project....

Testing in both platforms, the tracking is so much sharper in DVS mode period.

Had to put the TSI on hold for a moment to get some other things done. Those are completed and going to continue once I decide to do the line fader swap or not this weekend.

@Mutis

Awesome! I'm glad you are enjoying the concept and progress.

Recommendation...

If you're going with the JDDRT1 kit for your Rane One, order yourself some 90 degree rca cables. The regular cables tend to stick out too far.

I'm going to order some 90 degree usb cables as well for this same reason.

However with the usb cables you will need to get a right and left orientated cable for everything to work and be flush.

Rev. 1 of the Rane One Midi Chart is complete.

After doing a tear down yesterday to have a look at the line faders, I'm starting to make the Rane One TSI.

I'm quite impressed on how easy the audio routing was able to be setup for preliminary testing a few days ago.

It's fun!

I will post a location soon for all the teardown pics in case anyone is interested.
