Common Rane Performer Questions
How do I set up the Rane Performer as a MIDI controller with my DJ software (e.g., Serato DJ Pro, Traktor)?
Connect the Rane Performer to your computer via USB. Then, in your DJ software's MIDI settings, select "Rane Performer" as your MIDI device. The Performer is class-compliant, so no drivers are usually needed.
How do I save and recall patterns created in the Rane Performer's sequencer?
To save a pattern, hold Shift and press the 'Save' button then select a slot using the Parameter knobs. To recall, press the 'Load' button and then select your desired pattern using the Parameter knobs. Note that sequence data is persistent, automatically recalling after power-off in most cases.
How do I sync the internal sequencer of the Rane Performer to my external MIDI devices or DJ software?
In the 'Utility' menu, set the MIDI Clock setting to 'Internal' to use the Performer as the master clock or 'External' to sync to incoming MIDI clock from your software or other devices.
My motorized faders aren't moving when I load a new track in Serato DJ Pro, even though I have the motorized fader option enabled. What could be the issue?
Ensure that 'Fader FX' mode is disabled. Fader FX overrides the automatic motorized fader adjustments for level, cue, or pan in Serato DJ Pro. Also, confirm that the correct MIDI channel is selected.
What are the main performance benefits of the Rane Performer's motorized faders, and how do I best utilize them?
The motorized faders allow for precise level, cue, and pan control, as well as programmed sequences to be automated, keeping your hands free. To utilize them fully, experiment with saved sequences, set fader positions for transitions, and explore the 'Fader FX' mode for creative effects.
