High-End DJ Controller, Compact Package

The DJ-505 is a two-channel, four-deck Serato DJ controller packed with features, including the complete Serato Tool Kit. Its portability, pro-grade build and advanced feature set makes the DJ-505 ideal for mobile applications, club DJing, live performance, and production purposes. The built-in 24-bit/48 kHz audio interface & high-end Roland audio conversion for Master & Booth outputs ensure faithful reproduction of audio sources and clear, powerful sound. Balanced XLR outputs let you connect directly to a professional PA system and you can monitor your mix via the Booth Outs as well as separate 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch Phones jacks. The 1/4-inch TS mic input lets you add vocals or external instruments to your performance setup. Dedicated Serato DJ controls allow quick creation and triggering of hot cues, loops, TR sounds, sequencer patterns & samples, plus switching between four Serato decks with Deck Select. Use the channel filters or Serato FX to finesse blends or accentuate scratches.

Remix, Produce, Perform

The DJ-505’s rich feature set and deep Serato DJ integration enable new creative possibilities for the budding DJ/producer, allowing for remixing, production, and performance all in one compact unit. Use the 16-step sequencer to programme drum patterns with sounds from the TR drums or Serato Sampler, and then sync the beats to your Serato DJ tracks to create unique transitions, live remixes, beefed-up classic tracks, or original music. Engage Inst-Rec mode for on-the-fly, real-time sampler sequencing, or use Serato Sampler’s advanced capabilities to layer and sync multiple audio tracks or loops within the eight sampler slots. Finally, the DJ-505 includes a MIDI output to accurately sync your external MIDI devices and instruments to the TR-S sequencer.

The Roland Drum Machine Legacy in a DJ Controller

From the TR-909’s unmistakable hi-hats to the foundation-shaking boom of the TR-808, Roland TR drum machines have defined the sound of entire genres of modern music, from hip-hop, house, techno, and electro in the ’80s and ’90s right up to the trap music sound of today. Using Roland’s patented ACB technology, the DJ-505 faithfully recreates the original sound & character of these classic machines, letting you programme & create rhythm tracks using the same sound palette as the world’s foremost musical icons.

Included in the DJ-505 are Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Closed Hat, Open Hat, Tom, Rim, Clap, and Ride sounds from the TR-808, TR-909 & TR-606*, providing a wide range of options to create layered drum sounds and evolving sequences. The DJ-505 also lets you fine-tune your TR drum sounds and samples using Level, Attack, Decay, and Tune knobs, and easily build sequences with the famous step-based TR-S pad interface.

*TR-606 sounds will be added in a future user-instalable firmware update.

Road-Ready Remixing On the Go

The DJ-505 gives you the tools to not only mix, but also create new music and rhythmic elements on the fly to truly transform the musical dynamic and energy of your performance. Whether adding a booming 808 kick drum to a classic track or programming your own beat combined with an acapella, the DJ-505 makes blending multiple musical elements easy and instinctive. Light and portable with road-ready durability, the DJ-505 combines the best hardware performance and sound quality in its class with new possibilities for creative DJs and performing producers.
