Does the Rane Twelve MKII work with Serato, Traktor and Virtual DJ?

Yes. It supports Serato DJ plus Traktor and Virtual DJ, which the original Twelve did not.

Do I need a laptop to use it?

Yes. It is a controller, so it needs a computer running DJ software. It has no standalone playback.

What is different from the original Twelve?

The MKII adds Traktor and Virtual DJ support, USB track browse and instant doubles, a plunger-style start/stop button and an OLED screen for BPM and USB status.

Can I put a real vinyl record on it?

Yes. The acrylic control disc takes a quick-release adapter, and you can fit a traditional record on top for the feel you are used to.

Does it have a built-in mixer or audio output?

No. It is a turntable controller only, so you pair it with a mixer or controller that handles audio.

Is it good for scratching?

Yes. The twin-torque motor and 12-inch platter are built for scratch and battle DJs, and there is no needle to skip.

About the Rane Twelve MKII Motorised Digital Turntable Controller

The Rane Twelve MKII is a motorised digital turntable controller for Serato DJ, Traktor and Virtual DJ. It has no tonearm and no needle, so there are no skipping needles or damaged tonearms to deal with, and no unwanted audio feedback. It uses a black acrylic control disc with a quick release adapter, and the disc can be customized with any traditional vinyl record.

The twin-torque, 12-inch motorised platter gives 3,600 ticks of resolution per revolution. It can be customized further with a slipmat or butter-rug of your choice. The all-metal body is built for precision control and no-latency response.

The MKII adds Traktor and Virtual DJ control alongside Serato DJ. It also adds USB control for track browse and selection and for instant doubles, DVS Audio control, a plunger-style Start/Stop button, and an OLED screen that shows BPM and USB control status. You can use USB MIDI, DVS Audio or a hybrid of both, selected and controlled via the OLED screen.
