  8. Deck Contour: Adjusts the slope of the deck fader curve. Turn the knob to the left for a smooth fade (mixing) or to the right for a sharp cut (scratching). The center position is a typical setting for club performances.
  9. Crossfader Contour: Adjusts the slope of the crossfader curve. Turn the knob to the left for a smooth fade (mixing) or to the right for a sharp cut (scratching). The center position is a typical setting for club performances.
  10. Crossfader Reverse: Set this switch to On to reverse the direction of the crossfader. Set it to Off to use the conventional fader direction.
  11. Cue Mix: Turn to mix between the cue channel and program mix in the headphone outputs. When all the way to the left, only the cue channel will be heard. When all the way to the right, only the program mix will be heard.
  12. Cue Split: When this switch is in the On position, the headphone audio will be “split” such that the cue channel are summed to mono and sent to the left headphone channel while the program mix is summed to mono and sent to the right channel. When the switch is in the Off position, the cue channel and program mix will be “blended” together. In both cases, use the Cue Mix knob to control the blend of the two signals.
  13. Cue Level: Turn this knob to adjust the volume level of the cue channel.
  14. Headphone Outputs (1/4”, 1/8” / 6.35 mm, 3.5 mm, TRS): Connect your 1/4” or 1/8” (6.35 mm or 3.5 mm) headphones to this output for cueing and mix monitoring.
Rear Panel

  1. Mic Inputs 1–2 (XLR / 1/4”/6.35 mm, TRS): Connect microphones or line-level devices to these mono inputs. Their mono audio signals are split and routed directly to the stereo program mix and cue channel. If you prefer a stereo line input, the Aux In may be used.
  2. Aux In (RCA): Connect these inputs to an external line-level audio source. Remember to set the Mic 2/AUX switch to Aux to play its audio signal.
  3. Line/Phono Selectors: Set this switch to the appropriate position, depending on the device connected to the Phono/Line Ins of the corresponding deck. If you are using phono-level turntables, set this switch to Phono to provide the additional amplification needed for phono-level signals. If you are using a line-level device, such as a line-level turntable, CD player or sampler, set this switch to Line.
  4. Deck Phono/Line In (RCA): Connect these inputs to an external audio source or to a turntable, CD player, or other line-level device. Remember to set the corresponding Phono/Line selector to the appropriate position and to set the deck source knob for that deck to Phono/Line to play its audio signal on that deck.
  5. Phono Ground: If you are using phono-level turntables with a grounding wire, connect the grounding wire to this terminal. If you experience a low “hum” or “buzz”, this could mean that your turntables are not grounded.Note: Some turntables have a grounding wire built into the RCA connection and, therefore, nothing needs to be connected to the grounding terminal.
  6. Master Out (RCA): Connect these outputs to another mixer, recording device, etc. The program mix will be sent to these outputs.
  7. Main Out (XLR): Connect these outputs to loudspeakers or an amplifier system. Use the Main knob on the top panel to control the volume level.
  8. Booth Out (XLR): Connect these outputs to booth monitors or a booth amplifier system. Use the Booth knob on the top panel to control the volume level.
  9. USB Ports (USB Type-B): Use USB cables to connect these USB ports to available USB ports on your computer. These connections send and receive audio and MIDI control information to and from the computer.Note: Make sure you have downloaded and installed the Rane Control Panel from rane.com.
  10. Motor Torque: Flip this switch to adjust the torque of the platters. At the high setting, the platters will have the heavier, stronger feel of “modern” turntables. At the lower setting, they are lighter and more graceful—the feel of a “classic” turntable.
  11. Cooling Fan: Keep the area in front of this vent clear from obstructions. The fan behind the vent cools the ONE, preventing overheating.
  12. Power Input: While ONE is powered off, connect the included power cable to this input and then to a power outlet.
  13. Power Button: Use this button to power ONE on or off. Power on ONE only after you have connected all of your input devices and before you power on your amplifiers and loudspeakers. Power off your amplifiers and loudspeakers before powering off ONE.

Operation

Pad ModesThis chapter describes the different pad modes. Each deck has eight pads, which are always in one of these modes, and each deck’s pads can be in a different mode. Press one of the Pad Mode buttons to enter the corresponding pad mode on that deck.

Hot CueIn Hot Cue Mode, each pad assigns a hot cue point or returns the track to that hot cue point.

To enter Hot Cue Mode, press Hot Cue.

  • To assign a hot cue point, press an unlit Pad at the desired point in your track. The pad will light up when it is assigned (with the corresponding color, if available).
  • To jump to a hot cue point, press a lit Pad.
  • To delete an assigned hot cue point, press Shift and the corresponding pad.

Pitch PlayIn Pitch Play Mode, each pad plays the track from a hot cue point at a different transposition (adjustable by semitones). The Serato Pitch ‘n Time DJ Expansion Pack (sold separately) must be installed to use this mode. See Hot Cue to learn how to assign hot cue points.

  • To enter Pitch Play Mode, press Hot Cue a second time.
  • To select which hot cue point to use, press Shift and a dimly lit Pad.
  • To select the range of transpositions the pads will use, use the Parameter buttons (see the diagrams here).
  • To adjust the key of the current track down or up, press Shift and the Parameter  buttons, respectively.
  • To play the track from the hot cue point, press a lit Pad. Each pad corresponds to a specific transposition (by semitones), depending on the current range of transposition (see the diagrams here). The pad with no transposition (the original pitch) will be lit white.

Saved LoopIn Saved Loop Mode, each pad triggers a loop previously saved in your software.To enter Saved Loop Mode, press Saved Loop.To play a loop, press a lit Pad. Each deck’s eight pads will correspond to Saved Loops 1–8 in your software, and the color of each pad will correspond to the color assigned to each loop in your software.

RollIn Roll Mode, each pad triggers a momentary loop roll. Releasing the pad stops the loop roll and resumes normal playback where the playhead would be if you had not triggered the loop roll (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the whole time).Note: Disable Show Beat Jump Controls in the Serato Setup menu to access 8 loop rolls at once. You can also view and edit the set loop sizes in the software.

  • To enter Roll Mode, press Roll.
  • To trigger a loop roll, press and hold a Pad.
  • To change which eight lengths for loop rolls are shown (in the software), press either of the Parameter buttons. The pad layout will shift to match it.
  • To shift the loop roll backward or forward, press Shift and the Parameter buttons, respectively.

Auto LoopIn Auto Loop Mode, each pad triggers or releases an auto-loop of a different length.To enter Auto Loop Mode, press Roll a second time.

SamplerIn Sampler Mode, each pad triggers a sample, which you can assign in the software.To enter Sample Mode, press Sample.

Scratch BankIn Scratch Bank Mode, each pad loads a song to the selected deck. You can assign the song and set the starting point in the software. This is useful for preparing and performing with song samples for scratching.To enter Scratch Bank Mode, press Sample a second time.

SlicerImportant: Your track must have a set beatgrid for this mode to work.In Slicer Mode, the eight pads represent eight sequential beats—“slices”—in the beatgrid. The currently playing slice is represented by the currently lit pad; the light will “move through the pads” as it progresses through each eight-slice phrase. You can press a pad to play that slice. When you release the pad, the track will resume normal playback from where it would have been if you had never pressed it (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the whole time).

  • To enter Slicer Mode, press Slicer. The deck will exit Slicer Mode if you load another track to the deck or enable Grid Edit Mode.
  • To play a slice, press the corresponding Pad.
  • To decrease or increase the quantize size, press the Parameter buttons.
  • To decrease or increase the size of the slices, press Shift and the Parameter buttons.

Slicer LoopPress Slicer a second time to enter Slicer Loop mode. The pads behave identically to the pads in Slicer Mode, except the eight-Slice phrase will loop rather than moving forward continuously through the track.
