RANE has just announced updated versions of their flagship products, the SEVENTY-TWO mixer and TWELVE motorized controller.

The SEVENTY-TWO MKII mixer has received a highly-requested “external crossfader tension adjust” which personalizes the crossfader to an individual DJ’s style. The faders themselves have been upgraded to the MAG FOUR design and dual DVS inputs have been added to the mixer, along with other features.

The TWELVE MKII controller has added platform controls for Traktor, Virtual DJ, and Serato DJ Pro. The controller includes an updated screen and interface, a redesigned, plunger-style “Start/Stop” button, and more.
