The new system runs Engine DJ. The controller has a 7-inch vertical HD touchscreen with RGB waveforms and eight OLED displays above the pads. The OLED displays show information for Hot Cues, Samples, Stems and Roll. The controller has a Stems pad mode and Stem Level EQ controls. Users can prepare stems in advance with the Engine DJ application or render stems in real time on the hardware. System One offers 25 main effects across six assignable slots.
