For anyone who is interested, here is a list of the ‘simple things’ that have been implemented in this update:
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.
- RGB Waveforms on All Engine DJ Devices - Choose between Engine’s classic tri‑band waveforms or full‑color RGB waveforms.
- 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 PRIME 4+
- Denon DJ PRIME GO+
- Denon DJ SC LIVE 2 / SC LIVE 4
- Numark Mixstream Pro+
- Numark Mixstream Pro Go
- Browse Encoder Turn Behavior Setting - Added a preference to choose whether turning the Browse encoder opens the library or zooms the waveform.
Improvements and Fixes
- Expanded the beat range to 32 beats for Reverb Rise and Reverb Drop effects.
- Redesigned system dialog boxes and enabled interaction using the Browse encoder.
