Roland DJ-505 2-channel Serato DJ Controller with Drum Machine

Serato DJ Control with Real-time Sequencing
The Roland DJ-505 is not only a top-shelf DJ controller for Serato DJ, it's also a full-blown production machine for creating original music and rhythmic elements in real-time. Add booming 808 kicks and 909 hi-hats to your performances with a built-in TR-series drum machine while you craft killer loops and beats with an integrated 16-step sequencer. Trigger cues, samples, loops, and more with eight dedicated performance pads and transport controls while you scratch with the DJ-505's two low-latency platters. Loaded with professional I/O and advanced features, the DJ-505 is an excellent choice for mobile applications, club DJing, live performance, production, and more.

Best-in-class mixing and scratching
Scratching on the Roland DJ-505 is easy, thanks to its large, low-latency platters — they feel as natural as old-school vinyl. The DJ-505's dedicated Serato DJ controls allow for quick creation and triggering of hot cues, loops, TR sounds, sequencer patterns, and samples. On top of that, the Deck Select button makes switching between the DJ-505's four decks fast and easy. Three FX Select buttons on each deck grant access to channel filters or Serato FX.

The original Roland TR-808.

Loaded with classic drum machines
Using their proprietary Analog Circuit Behavior technology, Roland painstakingly modeled their legendary TR-series drum machines and packed them into the DJ-505. From the speaker-blowing 808 bass drum to the unmistakable 909 open hi-hat, the DJ-505 arms you with the same sound palette that the grandmasters of electronic, dance, and hip-hop use. The DJ-505's expanded TR sounds include Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Closed Hat, Open Hat, Tom, Rim, Clap, and Ride — everything you need to produce jaw-dropping beats and sequences. You can fine-tune your drum sounds with Level, Attack, Decay, and Tune knobs, and craft sequences with ease, thanks to a step-based TR-S pad interface.

Deliver a jaw-dropping performance with real-time sequencing
Delivering an awe-inspiring performance with the DJ-505 is easy. You can use the built-in TR drums as a foundation, or load your own sounds into Serato Sampler's eight sample slots. Create engaging loops and beats using the DJ-505's integrated 16-step sequencer, then sync them with your Serato DJ tracks to produce unique transitions, live remixes, turbocharged classic tracks, or your own creations. And the best part is, you can do all of this in real-time! At Sweetwater, we've also used the DJ-505's MIDI output to sync MIDI-supported external devices to its TR-S sequencer and Serato DJ.

Pro-grade build and advanced features
The DJ-505 is filled with pro-quality features, making it ideal for mobile applications, club DJing, live performance, production, and more. It features Master and Booth outputs, both with quality 24-bit/48kHz AD/DA conversion that delivers a clear, powerful sound. The Master output employs balanced XLR connectors for direct connection to a professional PA system, and you can monitor your mix via the Booth outputs as well as separate 1/4" and 1/8" Phones jacks. On top of that, you can add vocals or external instruments to your performance, thanks to a 1/4" TS mic input.
