Hardware (Engine OS)

New Features

• On‑device Stem Rendering for RANE SYSTEM ONE - For the first time on DJ hardware, stems can be rendered directly on the device—with no computer required.

• On‑device Track Star Ratings - Quickly rate tracks directly from the Library or Performance views.
• Redesigned Source Menu - The Quick Source selector and the full‑screen Source Menu are now connected, delivering a more modern, streamlined music source selection experience.
• Pre‑rendered Demo Tracks for Stems - Demo tracks now ship with stems pre‑rendered on the following devices:
  • RANE SYSTEM ONE

  • Denon DJ SC LIVE 2 / SC LIVE 4
