Roland DJ-202

The Roland DJ-202 is a compact yet powerful DJ controller that is perfect for mobile applications, parties, and club performances. With its robust design and seamless integration with Serato DJ (Serato DJ Lite is also included), this controller offers everything you need for a dynamic performance.

The combination of eight velocity-sensitive pads and dedicated transport functions makes it easy to trigger samples, hot cues, and loops. The controller is particularly well-suited for quick transitions and creative remixes. The two large, low-latency jogwheels allow precise scratching, feeling just like working with classic vinyl. The Roland DJ-202 lets you effortlessly navigate through your tracks, offering the flexibility you expect from a full-featured DJ controller.

The special transport controls of the DJ-202 allow quick triggering of hot cues, loops, and samples. Additionally, the Deck Select button enables easy switching between the four decks of the DJ-202. Three FX selection buttons on each deck provide access to channel filters or Serato FX effects.

The highlight is the drum machine with Roland's Analog Circuit Behavior technology. This emulation of the original legendary TR-808, 909, 707, and 606 drum machines, based on complex algorithms, not only sounds "warm and analog" but also greatly enriches any DJ performance.

Create impressive loops and beats with the built-in 16-step sequencer of the DJ-202, and then sync them with the Serato library to create unique transitions and live remixes. Whether you're a beginner or a professional – with the Roland DJ-202, you get a DJ controller that is exceptionally well-equipped and easy to use.
