Turntablism is alive and more creative than ever. Rane and Serato are proud to be supporting partners in that creativity with the introduction of the Rane Sixty-One and Sixty-Two Mixers for Serato Scratch Live. For more than a decade, artists have chosen innovative Rane instruments to advance their art and three generations of TTM series mixers have been the top pick for many of the world’s best performers. These mixers more tightly integrate performers, music, software, and hardware. The artist adds the passion, imagination and skills.
The Sixty-Two is a plug-and-play package supporting two computers, two-deck digital vinyl simulation, SP-6 sample player, software and hardware effects and all the record and playback channels you need. Software controls for Library, Loops, Cues and SP-6 are laid out for fast and intuitive access. Choose the Sixty-Two and join a community of users dedicated to advancement of the art.
The Sixty-Two Mixer supports both analog and Digital Vinyl Simulation (DVS) playback. The mixer is bundled with Serato Scratch Live and includes a fully integrated MIDI controller for software controls.
A typical setup includes operation with two Scratch Live DVS channels, SP-6 sample player on an independent USB Aux playback channel and Software effects enabled on the USB digital insert in the FlexFx loop. This setup also allows recording PGM1 post-fader, PGM2 post-fader and the Main mix.
If you are looking for the same bullet-proof construction, pristine audio quality and integrated 20-channel sound card, but prefer to use your own MIDI controller with outboard software or hardware effects and a single computer, consider the Rane Sixty-One Mixer.
The Sixty-Two is available with all the same functions in two cosmetic versions:
• Standard Rane Sixty-Two Mixer with blue and gray accents.
• Z-Trip’s Limited Edition Sixty-Two Z with purple and yellow accents. The face plate design is by Shepard Fairey, and includes custom purple cables.
Yep. One shop has the 61 already priced at 1599 I think and the 62 at around 2199 I think it was. However, the Rane reps have already posted pricing is not available yet but I’d expect those numbers are close, but a little high.
As a 68 owner and lover, these will be great. If only someone would hack, (or rane/serato ok this and pay NI) this to work with TSP…it would be game over.
Is Rane the only ones doing the dual usb/dual soundcard?
There are so many things I love about Rane but when I look at the 62 (and the 68) I can’t help wishing they had resisted the urge to cram so many controls on to them. The design & layout just looks horrible.
I don’t understand how a company that can produce the frankly gorgeous looking MP2016 can design mixers like the 6x series with so much great technology inside that look quite so unattractive.
I suppose I should add the disclaimer that I’m not a controllerist or scratch dj (and quite a grumpy old git to boot) so I’m probably not the target market for the 6x series. I’d love to have a lot of the tech available (dual soundcards, magnetic faders etc) but can’t see I’d enjoy using them for basic mixing - they just look too “fiddly”.
I think Rane would do well to look at where Allen & Heath are going with X-Link and a modular approach. Surely there is such a thing as a mixer with too many buttons?!
This mixer will work with Traktor, Rane staff confirmed it. Personally I think Serato are the future. New mixers, new control vinyl and new video mixing all coming this year.
Ok so having seen all the videos now the design of the 62 is making much more sense. Still not for me but probably just as well since I ordered a new mixer just before NAMM!
I love the way the dual computer setup works - looks like they really nailed that part.
I do quite like it. Though I feel like if I was going for a 62, I might just pony up for a 68 and get the 4 channel control. But I’m a fan of Rane who isn’t a scratch purist, so go figure.
i face positive that the older rane mixers only had TRS…i stand corrected.
