Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Twelve MKII. At Rane DJ, we know how serious music is to you.
That’s why we design our equipment with only one thing in mind—to make your performance
the best it can be.
The Twelve MKII is a pure and powerful motorized DJ control system. Keeping things
consistent with a familiar turntable layout and size in an all-metal body, the only clear
differentiator is a precision, multi-function touch strip for track searching and setting or
triggering hot cues in place of the tone arm.
Designed with the DJ in mind, the Twelve MKII lets you scratch and play with the feel of a
traditional turntable, but with the precision, repeatability and durability of the best digitallybased solutions.

Setup
Before getting started:
• Read the Safety & Warranty Manual before using Twelve MKII.
• Make sure all items listed in Introduction > Box Contents are included. Items not listed
are sold separately.
3
1. Assemble the Platter System
1. Remove the Twelve MKII base from the packaging. Remove the
platter assembly from the package (underneath Twelve MKII). Place
Twelve MKII on a flat, stable surface for assembly and operation.
2. Place the platter onto the Twelve MKII base by aligning the pins in the
bottom of the platter with the holes in Twelve MKII’s motor. Press it
down firmly. Check to make sure that it rotates uniformly and does not
wobble excessively.
3. Place the slipmat onto the platter. Then place the Control Disc over
the spindle (with the attached Quick Release Adapter on top). To
lock the Control Disc to the spindle, pinch the top of the spindle while
slowly rotating the disc until you hear it click. It locks when the groove
in the spindle lines up directly opposite to the button on the side of
the Quick Release Adapter.
Note: If you would like to adjust the slip friction of the disc, consider
placing 1-4 of the included spacers over the spindle, underneath the
slipmat. The more you elevate the Control Disc with the spacers, the
more spinback you will get.
2. Connect and Start DJing!
1. Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest version of your DJ software.
2. Place Twelve MKII on a flat, stable surface.
3. While the power is switched off, plug the included power cable into Twelve MKII first, then
plug the cable into a power outlet.
4. Power on Twelve MKII using the power switch.
5. Use a standard USB cable (included) to connect the USB Port to one of the following:
• If you are using Twelve MKII with the Rane Seventy-Two mixer (sold separately),
connect the USB cable to the Deck 1 or Deck 2 USB ports labeled Twelve MKII/
Controller.
• If you are using another mixing interface, connect the USB cable to an available
USB port on your computer or a powered hub connected to the computer.
6. Alternatively, connect standard RCA stereo cables from the Audio Output to the input of a
compatible mixer or other DVS-enabled device for timecode control.
7. Open Serato DJ Pro. The Twelve MKII works with Serato DJ Pro using two modes:
• Serato USB: This mode is identical to the operation of the original Rane Twelve, where
the software is controlled through a USB connection. When using this mode, the
software should be set to Internal Mode.
• Serato DVS: This mode will send DVS audio signal through the Audio Out (RCA) ports
to control the platter. When using this mode, the software should be set to Relative
Mode.
It is recommended to connect your Twelve MKII using both the Audio Out (RCA) ports (for
DVS platter control) and USB (for MIDI controls such as Browse, Load/Instant Doubles,
Hot Cues, etc.).

1. High Torque Direct Drive Platter: A 5.0
kgf-cm motor turns this aluminum platter
with speed position dots.
Note: The platter itself should not be held
in position for sustained periods while
powered to rotate.
2. Control Disc with Slipmat: This full-size
12" (30.5 cm) disc controls the audio
playhead in your DJ software. Place the
included slipmat under the Control Disc
(or a different slipmat can be used, if
preferred). To get a looser feel with more
spinback on your Control Disc, place 1-4
of the included spacers over the spindle,
underneath the slipmat.
Note: The Control Disc can be user
replaced by attaching the Quick Release
Adapter to your own modified disc. The
replacement disc must have three 6 mm
holes, and the included disc should be
used as a reference.
3. Quick Release Adapter: This secures the Control Disc to the platter. It comes attached
to the top of the Control Disc. To remove the Control Disc or slipmat from the platter,
hold in the button on the side of the Quick Release Adapter while lifting the disc off the
spindle. After placing the disc back on the spindle, pinch the top of the spindle while
slowly rotating the disc until you hear it click. It locks when the groove in the spindle lines
up directly opposite to the button on the side of the Quick Release Adapter.
4. Motor On/Off & Strobe Light: Turn this dial at the top of the strobe light to turn the platter
motor on or off. The unit will remain powered on, allowing for wind down effects.
The strobe light illuminates the edge of the platter, which indicates whether or not the
phase of the platter’s rotation is constant. As the platter rotates, look at the dots on its
edge under the light’s strobing. If the phase is constant, the dots will appear to be still. If
the rotation is out of phase, the dots will appear to move or “drift.”

5. Start/Stop: Press this button to start and stop the platter. The LED around this button will
be dim when power is on and no track is playing, bright when a track is playing, and
flashing red when the track is near its end.
6. 33 & 45 RPM: Press one of these buttons to set the rotation speed (RPM) of the platter.
The lit button indicates the current selection.
7. Instant Doubles: Press this button to load the currently playing song to the active deck.
8. Scroll/Load: Turn this knob to browse through lists and press it to select an item or load
the currently selected track to the deck.
Tip: Press this knob twice quickly to load the same track to both decks (“instant doubles”).
9. Back: Press this button to view the previous screen in the software.
10. Pitch Range: Press one of these buttons to adjust the range of the Pitch Fader to ±8%,
±16%, and ±50%.
11. Pitch Fader: Move this fader to adjust the speed (pitch) of the track. You can adjust its
total range with the Pitch Range buttons.
12. Takeover LEDs: When you select another Deck with the Deck Select buttons, the
position of the Twelve MKII’s Pitch Fader may not match the Pitch setting for that Deck in
the software. Slowly move the Pitch Fader in the direction indicated by the Takeover LED
arrow until it turns off. At this point, the Pitch Fader matches the Pitch setting in the
software and can control it again.
13. Touch Strip: This pressure sensitive strip replaces the tone arm and allows the user to set
track position depending on the Touch Strip Mode setting.
14. Cue Mode: Press this button to toggle the Touch Strip between Needle Drop and Hot
Cue modes. When Needle Drop is selected (default when Twelve MKII is powered on), the
button will be dimly lit. When Hot Cue is selected, the button will be brightly lit.
• Needle Drop Mode
i. Press the Cue Mode button so it is dimly lit. (This is the default mode when Twelve
MKII is first powered on.)
ii. The length of the Touch Strip represents the length of the entire track. Place your
finger on a point along this sensor to jump to that point in the track. White LEDs on
the Touch Strip will give a visual representation of the position of the needle in the
track.
• Hot Cue Mode
i. Press the Cue Mode button so it is brightly lit.
ii. When a section of the Touch Strip is unlit, you can assign a Hot Cue Point by
pressing it at the desired point in your track. Once it is assigned, the section will
light. The software determines the color of the Hot Cue Point.
iii. While the track is playing, press the Hot Cue Point to return the track to that point.
iv. To delete a Hot Cue Point, press and hold the Cue Mode button and press the
section you would like to delete.
15. DVS
Mode: Press and hold this button to enable changing of the active DVS mode. Once
the button begins to flash, tap this button to cycle through the available timecode signal
options, which will be shown in the OLED screen below this button. Once the desired
mode is shown in the display, wait three seconds to confirm the selection. Shortly after a
selection is made and the button stops flashing, the OLED screen will also turn off. Quickly
tap the DVS Mode button again to show the active mode.
7
16. Deck Select: Selects which deck in the software is controlled by Twelve MKII. Up to four
Twelve MKII controllers can be connected with a Serato DJ Pro-enabled device provided
the device has enough channels. For instance, if you are using a two-channel mixer such
as the Rane Seventy-Two, only up to two Twelve MKII controllers can be connected and
only the first 2 channels will be available for selection. When you are using more than one
Twelve MKII controller at a time, you will need to determine which deck each controller is
assigned to:
i. Power on each controller. The available Deck Select buttons on all connected
Twelve MKII controllers will flash.
ii. Press the Deck Select button that corresponds to which deck you would like to
assign each Twelve MKII to. Once a Deck is selected and in use, the button LED will
be fully lit, and buttons for other available decks will enter a dim state.
iii. To switch to another available deck, press the corresponding Deck Select button.
iv. To unselect a deck, press and hold the corresponding Deck Select button for 2
seconds. When buttons for the available decks start flashing, you are ready to select
a new deck.

1. Power Input: Use a standard IEC power cable (included) to connect Twelve MKII to a
power outlet. While the power is switched off, plug the cable into Twelve MKII first, then
plug the cable into a power outlet.
2. Power Switch: Use this switch to power Twelve MKII on and off.
3. Motor Torque: Flip this switch to adjust the torque of the platter. At the high setting, the
platter will have the heavier, stronger feel of “modern” turntables. At the low setting, it is
lighter and more graceful—the feel of a “classic” turntable.
4. USB Port: Use a standard USB cable (included) to connect this USB port to an available
USB port on the Rane Seventy-Two (sold separately) or your computer.
5. Audio Out (RCA): Connect stereo RCA cables to this output to send the internal timecode
signals to the input of a compatible mixer or other DVS-enabled device.

Manual sobre la seguridad y garantía
Nota: El Twelve MKII fue diseñado en colaboración con Serato, lo que lo hace un Official Serato
Accessory (accesorio oficial de Serato). El Twelve MKII requiere una interfaz, controlador o
mezclador compatible con Serato DJ Pro o una solución compatible con Serato Club Kit para
controlar el Serato DJ Pro.

Instalación
Antes de empezar:
• Lea el Manual sobre la seguridad y garantía antes de usar el Twelve MKII.
• Asegúrese de que estén presentes todos los elementos enumerados en Introducción >
Contenido de la caja. Los elementos que no se enumeran se venden por separado.
9
1. Armar el plato
1. Retire la base del Twelve MKII del embalaje. Retire el conjunto del plato del
embalaje (debajo del Twelve MKII). Coloque el Twelve MKII sobre una
superficie plana y estable para su ensamble y operación.
2. Coloque el plato en el motor alineando los pernos de la parte inferior del
plato con los orificios del motor. Presiónelo firmemente. Asegúrese de que
gire de manera uniforme y sin tambalear en exceso.
3. Coloque la alfombrilla sobre el plato. Luego coloque el disco de control
sobre el husillo (con el adaptador de liberación rápida en la parte
superior). Para bloquear el disco de control al husillo, inmovilice la parte
superior del husillo mientras gira el disco hasta escuchar un clic. El mismo
se bloquea cuando la ranura del husillo se alinea de forma directamente
opuesta al botón del lado del adaptador de liberación rápida.
Nota: Si desea ajustar la fricción de deslizamiento del disco, considere
colocar 1-4 de los espaciadores incluidos por encima del husillo por
debajo de la alfombrilla. Cuanto más alto quede el disco de control
debido a los espaciadores, más efecto de "spinback" obtendrá.
2. ¡Conecte y sea el DJ!
1. Asegúrese de haber descargado e instalado la última versión del software.
2. Coloque el Twelve MKII sobre una superficie plana y estable.
3. Con la alimentación eléctrica desconectada, enchufe el cable al Twelve MKII primero y a
continuación a la toma de corriente.
4. Encienda el Twelve MKII utilizando el interruptor de encendido.
5. Utilice un cable USB estándar (incluido) para conectar el puerto USB a uno de los siguientes
dispositivos:
• Si está utilizando el Twelve MKII con el mezclador Seventy-Two de Rane (que se vende
por separado), conecte el cable USB a los puertos USB de la bandeja 1 o la bandeja 2
etiquetados Twelve MKII/Controlador.
• Si está utilizando otra interfaz de mezcla, conecte el cable USB a un puerto USB libre en
su ordenador o a un concentrador alimentado conectado al ordenador.
6. Como alternativa, conecte cables RCA estéreo estándar desde la salida de audio hasta la
entrada de un mezclador compatible u otro dispositivo compatible con DVS para el control de
codificación por tiempo.
7. Abra Serato DJ Pro. El Twelve MKII funciona con Serato DJ Pro en dos modos:
• Serato USB: Este modo es idéntico al funcionamiento del Rane Twelve original, en el cual el
software se controla a través de una conexión USB. Al utilizar este modo, el software debe
configurarse en modo interno.
• Serato DVS: Este modo enviará una señal de audio DVS a través de los puertos de la salida
de audio (RCA) para controlar el plato. Al utilizar este modo, el software debe configurarse
en modo relativo.
Se recomienda conectar su Twelve MKII utilizando tanto los puertos de la salida de audio
(RCA) (para el control del plato mediante DVS) como el puerto USB (para controles MIDI tales
como Explorar, Cargar/Dobles instantáneos, Cues rápidos, etc.).
