@DJDad:
Thanks to clearify.
Maybe a dumb question:
The mixer-selection is not a midi-one, so prelisten-player won't work, right?

We can't tell at the moment, but we assume it will follow the Rane Four features.

Whew! Yikes I'm following this closely. My previous controllers all just worked when I got them, and I didn't even think about this. Now I've got the Rane Performer, OMG, I hope I can use it with VDJ soon.

Not really a surprise considering it has only become available in the past couple of days.

I have the Rane performer as well, if the dev team needs help testing I'm a 20+ year veteran user back when it was called Atomix MP3.

Friends,
I have the Performer in hand . I tried to be patient with Serato . Im just too much into the VDJ workflow. I gonna have to put it back in the box and wait. I'll rock out with my FLX10 until then. I'm not comfortable performing with Serato. I just have be honest. So VDJ we're waiting patiently for update. For the record , the performer is the real deal.

They will make it ready when it's ready. It takes months sometimes.

The problem with DJay is it supports the full featured app on iOS too (that's one of its major selling points ...run on a slim tablet) but iOS currently is a very locked down OS (you pretty much can't install 3rd party anything by default). Since virtually every controller/mixer you can think of needs custom drivers (especially for the ones with screens) and custom drivers aren't installable there, you find these controllers won't readily work there.
It seems that, rather than report a diminished experience on one platform, they probably prefer not to support the device at all
(you can look at the hardware forum for the complaints). Unless Apple releases these restrictions or they start coming up with their own gear (or convince other hardware manufacturers to play within those constraints), I don't see the situation changing.
Summary: (imo) the nature of their device support is directly related to their choice of platform support.

Algoriddim just released version 5.2 today, with support for a few more controllers.
Still lacking in other areas though. It's just the Fluid Beatgrid keeping my attention.

Do they support screens and motorised platters when using Djay Pro on ipads?

So the problem kinda still stands...they need complete class compliance for controllers to work in the iOS space - that's why a fair bit of controllers work in a half baked state there on iOS.
The other thing I sort of don't like is that, because it's an app on MacOS, downgrading isn't a simple process (e.g. in case of an issue)...like the recommended way of doing this is taking Time Machine snapshops to roll back to in addition to snapshops of thw database library.
Mind you I still think they are doing great work there too.

Thank you all for hijacking the Rane Performer topic to discuss about other gear and other software :P

You're welcome! VirtualDJ is still the best.

Following this closely because I bought one as soon as I could without thinking I may not be able to use it quickly with vdj.

Yes, if you update your device to the newest firmware, you can use SHIFT+PFL buttons to toggle the EQ knobs between HARDWARE EQ control, and SOFTWARE STEMS control.
The only thing to keep in mind is that currently VirtualDJ will switch all 4 channels at the same time.

A related question...it was mentioned in reviews that it is possible to usr Shift + a Deck Cue button to turn that deck's EQ from being solely frequency operated to being Stem isolators (something like a VirtualDJ advanced EQ mode, but switchable per deck instead of global), and that this was added to the Rane Four in a firmware upgrade.
I expect that this will come with the initial Rane Performer mapping in VirtualDJ, but I don't see mention of this ability explicitly in the Rane Four Manual. Does anyone know if is this feature supported by the Rane Four at all (via the firmware upgrade)? Is there a general mapping for this otherwise (e.g. for a DDJ 1000)?

UPDATE:
Rane Four manual has been updated.
If you use latest VirtualDJ EA (Early Access) version with Rane Four updated to latest firmware (1.7.0.8) you can use SHIFT+PFL buttons to toggle the 3 EQ knobs between frequency (hardware) and stems (software) operation.
Not only that, but the operation now is "per deck"
So, YES, you can switch one deck only between stems and frequency control while leaving the rest decks on your desired mode of operation.

@PhantomDeejay this is wonderful news...thanks to you and the other devs for all of the hard work 🍺.
Follow-up question...is the per deck Advanced EQ mode switching going to be generalized as well (available for all controllers/in software internal mode), or just for the Rane Four/Performer?

It's going to be available to all users.
However, the preferred way of operation is still to change all decks together.
So, if a user wants to depart form "all decks together" to "independent decks" he will be able to do so (by remapping his controller or by using custom actions)
But the default operation remains the same.
