High-end DJ controller, compact package
DJ-505 is a two-channel, four-deck Serato DJ controller packed with features, and the complete Serato Tool Kit is included as well. Its portability, coupled with a pro-grade build and advanced feature set, makes DJ-505 ideal for mobile applications, club DJing, live performance and production purposes alike.

The built-in 24-bit/48kHz audio interface and high-end Roland audio conversion for master and 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" and 1/8" headphone jacks. You also have a 1/4" TS mic input to 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 and samples, plus switching among four Serato decks with the Deck Select button. Use the channel filters or Serato FX (accessible via three FX Select buttons per deck) to finesse blends or accentuate scratches.

The Roland drum machine legacy in a DJ controller
From TR-909's unmistakable hi-hats to the foundation-shaking boom of 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 (Analog Circuit Behavior) technology, DJ-505 faithfully recreates the original sound and character of these classic machines, giving you the ability to program and create rhythm tracks using the same sound palette as the world's foremost musical icons.

Included in DJ-505 are bass drum, snare drum, closed hat, open hat, tom, rim, clap and ride sounds from TR-808, TR-909, TR-606 and TR-707, providing a wide range of options to create layered drum sounds and evolving sequences. 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.

Road-ready remixing on the go
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. From the simple addition of a booming 808 kick drum to a classic track to programming your own beat combined with an acapella, DJ-505 makes blending multiple musical elements easy and instinctive. Light and portable with road-ready durability, DJ-505 combines the best hardware performance and sound quality in its class with new possibilities for creative DJs and performing producers.

Scratch friendly
DJ-505's large, low-latency platters provide responsive, lag-free performance that allows for the same style of scratches executed on turntables, and the illuminated outer rings on the jog wheels indicate the status of each deck at a glance. Plus, DJ-505's platters have brushed aluminum top plates just like the DJ-808 and DJ-202 controllers, providing both great feel and rugged durability.

Remix, produce, perform
DJ-505's rich feature set and deep Serato DJ integration empower 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 program 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, DJ-505 includes a MIDI output to accurately sync your external MIDI devices and instruments to the TR-S sequencer.
