Rane PERFORMER

The Rane PERFORMER is a professional 4-channel motorized DJ controller for Serato DJ Pro that brings the feel of real vinyl to a complete, all-in-one performance surface. Seven-inch high-torque motorized platters with acrylic discs and 3.5-inch center displays, built-in Stems controls, 16 pads, battle-style FX paddles, and a pro mixer section give open-format, club, and scratch DJs everything they need to perform without turntables.

Rane PERFORMER: Motorized Feel, Serato Power

The PERFORMER’s die-cast aluminum motorized platters spin like turntables, giving true vinyl feel for scratching, backspins, and juggling. Center displays show track position, artwork, and deck information right where you’re looking, and the controller unlocks Serato DJ Pro straight out of the box.

Stems Built In

Dedicated controls including Stem Split, Stem Level, Stem pad mode, and instant acapella and instrumental buttons let you separate vocals, drums, bass, and melody on the fly for live remixes and mashups.

Setting Up the PERFORMER

Connect the PERFORMER to your computer over USB, open Serato DJ Pro, and load tracks to all four decks. Connect the XLR main outputs to your PA, plug microphones into the two mic inputs, and use the second USB port for back-to-back changeovers.

What to Pair With the PERFORMER

Pair the PERFORMER with professional DJ headphones, powered speakers and booth monitors, a dynamic microphone, a laptop stand, and a road case. Add the Serato DVS expansion if you want to use control vinyl.

Effects and Pads

Twenty-nine main FX plus four knob-controlled channel FX per side, two battle-style FX paddles, and eight multi-color pads per deck give hands-on access to Hot Cues, rolls, samples, and creative effects.

Professional Mixer Section

A 4-channel mixer with EQ, filters, and a professional crossfader handles everything from club blends to fast scratch cuts, and dual USB ports make DJ changeovers seamless.

Built for Professional Use

With a heavy-duty chassis and Rane’s reputation for durability, the PERFORMER is built for clubs, mobile gigs, and touring. Serato updates add features such as streaming services and lighting control.

Why Motorized Platters?

Motorized platters spin like a turntable, so you can stop, backspin, and scratch with the natural resistance and momentum of real vinyl. That feel makes juggling and cutting far more precise than with static jog wheels, and it helps turntablists move to a controller without relearning technique.

Performance Tips

Map Hot Cues and Stems pads to your most-used routines, and practice switching decks so you can layer acapellas and instrumentals across four channels. Keep Serato DJ Pro and the PERFORMER firmware up to date for the latest features.
