Product description Roland DJ-505
The Roland DJ-505 offers you the perfect mix of DJ controller and music production machine. With this device, you can not only shine on a professional stage or in a club but also creatively create your own beats and rhythms in real time.
With the Analog Circuit Behavior Technology developed by Roland, the company carefully modeled the legendary TR-series drum machines and packed them into the DJ-505 controller. These iconic drums not only sound better than samples because they are virtually analog, but they can also be quickly and easily integrated into the performance thanks to the 16-step sequencer. Whether for transitions, quick pre-productions, or improvisations, no other controller offers so much flexibility!
Scratching on the Roland DJ-505 is easy thanks to the large, low-latency jog wheels – they feel as natural as vinyl. The special Serato DJ controls on the DJ-505 allow you to trigger hot cues, loops, TR sounds, sequencer patterns, and samples. Additionally, the Deck Select button allows you to quickly and easily switch between the four decks of the DJ-505. Three FX selection buttons on each deck give access to channel filters or Serato FX.
For even more flexibility, the DJ-505 not only offers a wide range of connections for microphones, instruments, and external devices, but also a MIDI output function that lets you control other MIDI-compatible devices. The high-quality AD/DA converters ensure clear and powerful sound, while the XLR outputs make it easy to connect to a professional PA system.
Thanks to its robust build and versatile applications, the Roland DJ-505 is the ideal choice for DJs who want to perform live and create their own music productions. Whether for transitions, quick pre-productions, or improvisations, no other controller offers so much flexibility!

Good Serato controller with character
Most controllers in this range feel a bit same-same. This one has its own flavor. The TR section is the selling point for sure, and the MIDI out is nice if you use other gear. Not perfect, but way more inspiring than a boring standard unit.
Bon contrôleur, un peu spécial au début
Très bon produit dans l’ensemble. Au début j’étais un peu perdu parce qu’il y a plus de fonctions que sur un contrôleur classique, mais après quelques sessions ça devient naturel. Le côté créatif est vraiment cool. Livraison rapide aussi, rien à dire.
Endlich mal was anderes als Standard
Viele Controller können irgendwie alle das gleiche. Der Roland hier hat wenigstens noch ne eigene Idee. Die TR-Drums bringen echt Charakter rein, vor allem wenn man ältere Tracks bisschen anheben will. Auch gut: XLR raus, Booth Out, Mic dran, fertig. Für mobile Jobs ziemlich angenehm.
überraschend fett das teil
ehrlich, hab erst gedacht ok wieder so ein normaler controller. aber nee. der dj-505 hat schon seinen eigenen vibe. diese drum geschichte macht mega spaß, vor allem wenn man transitions nicht immer gleich machen will. wirkt insgesamt durchdacht. paket kam 1a an.
gut, aber eher was für bestimmte Leute
Nicht falsch verstehen, schlecht ist der 505 überhaupt nicht. Aber ich finde schon, dass er eher zu Leuten passt, die genau auf diese Extra-Performance-Sachen Lust haben. Wer nur simpel mixen will, fährt evtl mit etwas Geradlinigerem entspannter. Verarbeitung und Klang fand ich aber gut.
Nicht billig gemacht
fader laufen gut, jogs fühlen sich ordentlich an. bisschen straffer als bei manchen anderen, stört mich aber null. scratchen geht klar. die pads könnten für meinen geschmack minimal hochwertiger sein, aber insgesamt wirklich gutes gerät. würde ich wieder kaufen.
Mehr als nur auflegen
Was ich an dem Gerät mag: Es zwingt einen fast schon ein bisschen kreativer zu sein. Nicht im negativen Sinn, eher so, dass man schnell merkt, was damit noch alles geht. Die Bedienung war anfangs nicht sofort blind drin, aber nach paar Sessions lief das echt rund. Sound ordentlich, Anschlüsse reichen mir völlig.
macht die sets lebendiger
genau sowas hab ich gesucht. ich wollte nicht nur songs aneinanderhängen, sondern mehr machen können. der roland bringt da richtig leben rein. besonders bei längeren transitions merkt man, wie cool kleine drums oder akzente sein können. die jogs gehen auch klar. gefällt mir richtig gut.
More creative than expected
Really fun controller. I bought it mainly for Serato, but the drum sequencer is the thing that keeps me using it. You can do small live remix ideas without bringing extra gear, and that is kinda addictive. Build feels solid enough and setup was easy on my side. For this money, very very good.
Starkes Konzept, aber nicht ganz ohne Macken
Ich will fair bleiben: vom Funktionsumfang her super. Sound gut, Pads okay, die Drum Machine macht richtig Laune. Aber ich hatte leider mit meinem Gerät nicht 100% Vertrauen und sowas nervt live natürlich doppelt. Deswegen nur 3 Sterne. Wer eins erwischt das sauber läuft, hat aber bestimmt viel freude dran.
Important questions about the article Roland DJ-505
Question: Is Serato DJ Pro included with the Roland DJ-505?
Answer: Yes. The DJ-505 unlocks Serato DJ Pro and comes with the Serato Tool Kit licence, including Pitch ’n Time DJ, Serato Flip and the Serato DJ FX packs.
Question: Does the DJ-505 work with two or four decks?
Answer: The unit has a two-channel mixer but can control up to four Serato decks via the Deck Select button. Four simultaneously playing sources are therefore switched onto the two physical mixer channels.
Question: Can I use the Roland DJ-505 without a computer?
Answer: Yes, as a standalone mixer for turntables or media players connected to its phono and line inputs. Serato control and the controller and sequencer functions, however, require a computer running Serato DJ Pro.
Question: Can turntables or CD/media players be connected, and is DVS possible?
Answer: Yes. The inputs allow external players to be used with the mixer; the DJ-505 is ready for the Serato DVS upgrade for timecode vinyl or CDs.
Question: What can the integrated TR sequencer do?
Answer: The 16-step sequencer plays TR drums or the Serato Sampler in sync with Serato tracks. Editable kits with sounds from the TR-909, TR-808, TR-707 and TR-606 are available.
Question: Which outputs does the DJ-505 offer for PA and monitoring?
Answer: Balanced XLR master outputs are available for a PA, with an additional booth output. Headphones can be connected via either a 6.3 mm or 3.5 mm socket.
Question: Is the controller suitable for a microphone and external MIDI devices?
Answer: Yes. The 6.3 mm microphone input offers gate, high-pass, reverb and echo effects; the MIDI output can synchronise external devices to the Serato or TR-S sequencer.
Question: How many performance pads does the Roland DJ-505 have?
Answer: The DJ-505 has eight dedicated pad controls. They control Hot Cues, Roll, Slicer, TR sounds, Patterns and the Serato Sampler, among other functions.
