Rane One with Jesse Dean tonearm

As someone who’s patiently waiting for the Rane One MK2 release, does anyone have any experience with the original Rane One and the Jesse Dean tonearm?

I’m curious to know if there are any notable issues with Djay Pro. Particularly with latency.

I have a Reloop Spin and naturally, it would be great to scratch vinyl on the Rane One deck one while playing a beat on deck 2 (I’m planning on getting one instead of two tonearms).

Another question from anyone’s experience with Rane One. Separate from the tonearm question, how is the scratch latency with the mag 4 fader and Djay pro?

Lastly, a question for any scratch DJ on a controller. Are you happy with the cut curve cut in point? I’ve tinkered with the crossfader cutting mode and it seems okay, but I’m using a Reloop Ready which isn’t really built for scratching.

Very specific platform questions so I’m guessing I might be up the creek, but wanted to throw a line and see if anyone has said experience.

Cheers (and thanks)

I’ve never understood this product. Seems like the worst of both worlds: bolt on a crappy tonearm which will chew up your 45s and will also make the Rane controller less portable and more fragile. If you want to spin vinyl you can always get a turntable and plug it in to one of the Rane’s inputs and bring it along when you need it. I get the Biz Markie 7" turntable concept but this ain’t it.

Djay has the platter running only at one speed.

If you pitch up the platter speed doesn’t change same when pitching down. Don’t know if mk2 will have the same behaviour.

Useful info. I didn’t think about that but definitely makes sense
