New tools provide inspiration and new performance possibilities
Roland DJ-505 is a 2-channel 4-deck Serato DJ controller that blends the advanced features of Serato DJ with the legendary sounds and sequencers of Roland's TR-808, TR-909, TR-606* and TR-707* drum machines. The DJ-505 gives you the tools to move beyond kun mixing music to creating beats and rhythms on the spot that sync with your Serato DJ tracks. This makes it possible to create unique transitions, make live remixes, beef up classic tracks or work with your own original music.
Like the flagship DJ-808 and the compact DJ-202, the DJ-505 is a powerful and inspiring instrument that allows for unrivaled flexibility when DJing, remixing or producing - while also allowing for exciting new approaches to musical performance. And with its standalone mixer functionality, smart size and upgradeability to Serato DVS, the DJ-505 is an ideal controller for pairing with turntables or CD players
