Product Overview
A 2-channel, 4-deck Serato DJ controller, Roland's DJ-505 combines the advanced performance capabilities of Serato DJ with the legendary sounds and sequencing of Roland's TR-808, TR-909, TR-606*, and TR-707* drum machines. It offers you the tools to move beyond mixing music to creating beats and rhythms on the fly that sync to your Serato DJ tracks, enabling the creation of unique transitions, live remixes, beefed-up classic tracks, or your own original music.
Like the flagship DJ-808 and compact DJ-202 controllers (both sold separately), the DJ-505 is a powerful and inspiring instrument that provides unrivaled flexibility to DJ, remix, and produce, empowering exciting new approaches to music performance. Plus, with its standalone mixer functionality, narrow footprint, and Serato DVS upgrade path, it's an ideal controller to pair with turntables or CD players.
