Pad FX

Each pad triggers a performance effect on the deck's audio — hold a pad, mangle the sound, release to snap back.

On the Rane One it's the fifth mode button, printed SLICER.

Pad FX has no bank system: it's one pad per effect, always the same layout, so your muscle memory works every time.

The eight effects

The eight Pad FX pads on screen, each labelled with its effect: Vinyl Brake, Backspin, Chop and Dub Echo across the top row, Fast Flange, Stutter, Panner and Sweep across the bottom

Pad	Effect	What it does
1	Vinyl Brake	The record spins down like the motor was cut
2	Backspin	Throws the track backwards like a hand spinback
3	Chop	Rhythmic gate — chops the audio on and off
4	Dub Echo	BPM-synced feedback delay that trails into space
5	Fast Flange	Quick jet-engine sweep
6	Stutter	Rapid-fire micro repeats
7	Panner	Bounces the sound left and right
8	Sweep	Filter sweep across the deck

Time-based effects (Dub Echo, Chop, Stutter, Panner) follow the tempo, so they stay musical at any BPM.

Settings

Settings → Pad Modes → Pad FX:

Setting	What it does
BPM Effector — "Drive PadFX timing from master BPM"	Times the effects from the master tempo instead of the deck's own
Beat Division	How long a repeat, chop or echo lasts, from the fastest division up to a bar. The default is 1/4

The beat division is also on the hardware and on the pad-mode strip, so you can change it mid-phrase without opening settings.

The Pad FX settings sub-page: a BPM Effector switch reading drive PadFX timing from master BPM, and a Beat Division dropdown

Secondary mode

Pressing the fifth mode button again while Pad FX is active switches to User Mode.
