I was a DJ from 1988-2000. I wasn't aware there was anything like this on the market. I didn't even know about the Rane 12 MK-I. When I first saw the MKIIs, I went into Guitar Center and tried the MK-I. I ordered 2 Rane 12 MK-II, a Numark Scratch mixer, and AKG K553 MK-II Headphones. This is what I've been looking for since the CD-J era! Thank you for resurrecting my hobby and passion Rane!!! I'm so excited! I can't wait to receive my MK-II order on October 16.

The most beautiful turntabalism/dj product i ever seen 😍

[@djmiyagi1950]

Mine are on the way!

[@spaceiswater6539]

one word, Awesome!

[@DJGutoLoureiro]

Perfect !!

[@thisaintitchief562]

I’m not upgrading because I got my 12s for a killer deal and use Serato anyway but man this is awesome!

[@nattyb7898]

Great content.

[@ClectaSkiMusic]

Beautiful stuff

[@gremlynmusic]

AHHHH! FOR TRAKTOR?!?! YESSS

[@DJDistantPlanet]

Finally - I have still been rocking my Denon DN-S3700s with Traktor. The MKIIs will be a worthy upgrade.

[@ranecorporation]

Glad you like! Check out DJ RENA's performance here on the TWELVE MKIIs and TRAKTOR: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHqZYpp-iJh4fKM please note TRAKTOR wil release a public beta soon with a full release to support afterwards.

[@VegasReyesOG]

The hybrid mode for Traktor is not working for me. The Twelve's are not showing up in the controller editor for Traktor. The buttons do nothing when in hybrid mode

[@gremlynmusic]

@@VegasReyesOG Controller Editor is for Native Instruments OEM Products. You would need to make a custom MIDI mapping in the MIDI settings of your Traktor Software!

[@DJDistantPlanet]

@@gremlynmusic - wouldn't that be included in the coming Traktor update? Can't remember where I got the Pioneer CD-J2000 mapping, for example, when I added it to Traktor.

[@djbis]

My dream turntable finally comes true. Just wish 'Rona would let us make some money!

[@hodaridaniels8786]

Nice turntable controller hopefully to have an pair.

[@markbrend182maam]

RANE le lleva años luz a pionner. Excelentes equipos y performance de RANE.

[@Paulorp1979]

not really lol

[@Nosh_Feratu]

if this could be used as a standalone, without a laptop, to add to an exiting cdj3000 set up that would be amazing. Just needs a small screen with usb to load your library...big win.

[@crxfun716]

Just bought these they are great 👍🏿. Question is can you set a needle drop at the 2 o'clock position for all songs?

[@djlegacy8325]

Just upgraded from the 1st gen to the MK-II. I’m impressed with how much better the MK II’s are. But I lost a lot of money trading my 1st gens in for the upgraded versions.

[@damjanscepanovic]

hey rane crew :) is a rane twelve mk3 in near future possible? love your product! will soon have to add this masterpiece to my setup! the only thing that would make it even more perfect for me, would be a 'stop time' knob (like on the one). digital dvs is the way to go🙌thank you for working with traktor🙏☀

[@DJTechnoboom]

kool

[@JayWerx]

Im just glad they look the same and dont really add much where we need to upgrade.

[@Dj_Jwoo]

You picked one hell of a time to drop a $900 controller and an $1800 mixer.

[@dephc0n1]

There are rumors that Pioneer is withholding product launches for this reason.

[@djmiyagi1950]

@@dephc0n1 must only be rumors because the day you wrote this comment Pioneer released new headphones

[@FrOsTyBeArKiD]

If they added a loop feature, this would've been a slam dunk. Luckily I'm gonna buy it anyway cuz that's not needed for scratching anyway

[@FrOsTyBeArKiD]

@DJ Von Dolph wouldn't that just activate a pre-made loop like it would a pre-made hot cue? I meant moreso loop in/loop out or auto 4 beat loop with a 2x and 1/2x to adjust it.

[@FrOsTyBeArKiD]

@DJ Von Dolph that's all that matters to me cuz I use Rekordbox anyway! Thank you!

[@spvcethvg8462]

EVERYONE REMEMBER YOU CAN STILL FUCKING MAKE A LOOP BY EDITING A SONG IN SERATO PRO

[@Iron883NZ]

It’s midi ... just remap some of the buttons your not going to use like the 33/45 buttons ... two of the deck selectors etc do a loop in and out and a 1/2 and 2x ... I don’t need a nudge setup on the 33/45 as I have a technics 1210 on the other side and use old school ways using the spinning platter to do that :) isn’t the idea that you want the real turntable feel?

[@djmalcolmXL]

Would be nice to have dedicated Pitch Bend buttons. I heard the 33 45 buttons can be used for this, but how do you not accidently activate 45rpm if only trying to pitch bend the track a little faster to catch it up to another track?

[@heroldmutebi8200]

Finally! A controller that's not "Racist" towards software... I'm loving InMusic's direction.

[@djsash77oldmanradic]

problem is most clubs/ bars are using pioneer cdj's and pioneer mixers still

[@djslavick]

Hi RANE, please where can I find the recommended tech specs? Will this work with Traktor 2.8?

[@Jahnesh]

Can i connect this directly via usb to my pc and then use my old nondvs mixer for scratching?

[@ranecorporation]

The TWELVE MKII is a midi controller, but a DVS integrated mixer or box still needs to be incorporated for it to work with Serato or other software.

[@boomieboo]

Djs would go insane for Ranes version of Vestaxs now legendary Controller-1 turntable with notation controls complete with octaves and vibrato switches. Reloop tried to do recreate the Controller-1 with their turntable but the torque isn't there so note changes sound slurry or sluggish and arent as instant as Vestaxs were. I think Rane could fix this in their version of the C-1 if they chose to make one with the technology of the 12 MK2s.

[@Sforza_]

I saw Traktor... I am highly interested.

[@cosimoskinner]

It's possible to use a RANE Twelve MKII as a third deck on an old Pioneer DDJ-T1 using the DVS signal in the controller and the USB directly in the computer?

[@djhype1983]

I have the 1st gen, and they should’ve done all this with the first gen

[@mitchwallace4756]

DJ HYPE track select for sure. It’s so ridiculous why that didn’t make the cut.

[@djhype1983]

Mitch Wallace and the power and usb inputs under the turntable. Numark has been doing it since the early 2000’s

[@hollywoodthedj1673]

They Could Have Done That With The First Ones Made But It’s About Making Money So They Had To Hold Some Of That Stuff Back For The Second Generation Of Them ThatsOne Reason Why I Never Jump On The First Wave Of Anything Because Most Likely The Second Wave Is Going To Be Way Better!

[@mitchwallace4756]

This is really the mk3 if you think about it. The MK1 had the terrible platter than couldn’t be changed and all the outputs were in the back. MK2 moved everything underneath.

[@djhype1983]

Mitch Wallace yep you’re right

[@ricardoyan7657]

Can you put a record on it and a external arm?

[@dasimsim]

Sorry for the Q If the unit connected to numark scratch mixer,do i need to connect the unit to the MAC?

[@HeyScotG]

Does this interface in any way with the Denon Prime 4 (Engine OS)?

[@djloomy]

@officialrane Please put BPM feedback in Traktor! And a pair of these will be mine....

[@DJ_BIGWOO]

I need this unit to work with rekordbox

[@carlosdonizeteoliveiradoni5130]

Como eu faço pra comprar um par desses

[@tonybeatbutcher]

Hy, do you still need a DVS Serato interface to use the MIDI controller ?

[@ranecorporation]

Yes, to use Serato you will need a Serato-enabled mixer or box (like the SL4). Some other software, like djay by Algoriddim, can support the TWELVE MKII as a midi device without needing an additional interface or mixer.

[@tonybeatbutcher]

@@ranecorporation It would cool to have it licensed as standalone Serato interface where the audio go's out from the turntable. I think that would a nice future for the next MIII ;)

[@mariotalip2988]

How do I hook up to pioneer ms5 having hard time to get booth decks to work only one is responding to software

[@reinsphoenix]

Want so much :(

[@cristianlandi6742]

For rekordbox? When

[@deejayscientist]

can you use SSL with it

[@ranecorporation]

Yes you can in Serato DVS mode as it's the official Serato Noisemap audio file that plays out of the RCA outputs.

[@djkaneck1]

I’m having problems setting up my Rane 12 mk 2 to my ddj-1000 (not the srt). Do I need a sl3 or sl4 to get it to work. Thanks please no theories.

[@djaymac_kenya6800]

Reloop way?!!!!

[@veganbadass]

Frustrating because I want a controller that has this 12" platter, but I also want 4% pitch. I also don't want to use a bulky laptop. Rane needs to make an all in one unit with with these 12" platters, more pitch option {4%} for super accurate mixes for House, Trance and Techno, and a nice 10" LED screen so we don't need the clumsy laptop.

[@giancarlo4756]

Now you have to lift the deck to turn on/ off the unit, who the hell has the idea to put the power switch down there??

[@fullfunk]

why not add usb port for loading tracks and ditch the computer all together just add a small screen add audio out and just plug to the mixer ... way easier

[@MrCeez1]

Like to see one of these in 8 inch platter

[@DjTecniq]

But does it drift tho🤔

[@johnvalle9575]

very nice...now all you guys have to do is bring back BOGO.

[@icecoldjohnnyy]

Won’t happen, they only did that to get rid of the old ones to make room for these.

[@johnvalle9575]

@@icecoldjohnnyy maybe.... but still would be nice to do an "intro" or something to that sort, plus with this economy situation I don't see these flying of the shelves as awesome as they are.

[@DjTecniq]

Which had motor issues

[@djredphoenix6671]

Like it should make it an all in one system everything in one system

[@djredphoenix6671]

And with a screen in the centre

[@ankurjohriddsmd]

Still missing some buttons, No loop in or outs, no sync button, no reverse motor buttons, no quantize button, no key lock button... i still need to use another controller to get those features or manually click on laptop. Kinda lame to spend that much when I still can use a Traktor X1 controller and phase DVS and get the best of both works on my Technics 1210s. Also the ability to play a vintage vinyl on the fly is not possible.

[@rjmn1]

The v7 concept would have been awesome with a 12 inch platter, the v7s with loops, soundcard and built in efx was a game changer

[@anthonywoods5428]

Not good enough; Rane 12 need to be a standalone table with a display and a SD or usd slot.
