The Roland DJ-202 is a 2-channel DJ controller designed for use alongside Serato DJ Lite control software and provides users with all the professional features and functionalities of a full-sized controller inside of a compact, highly—portable, robust unit. The DJ-202 takes the concept of the flagship DJ-808 and streamlined DJ-505 controllers with unparalleled versatility allowing you to DJ, remix, and create beats on-the-fly while you’re mixing live or creating beats in the studio. The 202 features large, low-latency jog wheels, alongside dedicated pad and transport controls, an onboard sequencer, and a microphone input with professional vocal effects, the DJ-202 packs the most features out of any controller in its class and is perfect for beginner and intermediate DJs allowing them to mix with creativity and flair.

Although the DJ-202 is a 2-channel controller, it comes with four decks and is powered via USB bus power, the compact, lightweight design with comfortable grab handles allow it to be easily transported and setup with minimal effort, so you can use it for mobile applications, house parties, clubs, beat battles, and so much more. The intuitive layout and plug’n’play compatibility means you can get DJing straight out of the box while the 24-bit/48kHz audio infidelity and Roland’s high-resolution audio hardware give your performances a fantastic sound on absolutely any sound system. 

Thanks to the addition of Roland’s patented Analogue Circuit Behaviour technology, the DJ-202 provides you with the classic sounds of some of the most influential drum machines ever created. The controller faithfully reproduces sounds from the TR-606, 707, 808, and 909 drum machines, these machines helped spawn entire genres, from hip-hop, rap and trap right down to house, techno, and trance, and have been used in countless anthems from the 80’s and 90’s. The ABC technology gives you the tools to produce and create drum rhythms using the exact same sound palette as the world’s most influential musical icons. The DJ-202 includes expanded TR sounds such as bass drums, snare drums, closed and open hi-hats, tom drums, rim-shots, claps, and ride cymbals, offering a wide range of options to create layered drum rhythms and evolving sequences.

You can scratch and cue with confidence thanks to the large low-latency jog wheels which are the best available in its class while dedicated controls for Serato DJ Lite enable rapid creation and triggering of loops, hot cues, and samples as well as quick switching between the four available decks using the Deck Select button. For seamless blends between tracks, there are smooth filters on each channel as well as three effects available on each deck while the dedicated Play/Pause and Cue buttons give you the perfect direct control that is found on high-end controllers and media players.

Using the ¼-inch TRS Jack microphone input you can add DJ talkovers, radio drops, guest vocals and even external to your mixes; you can then use the reverb and echo effects to add some FX to your microphone input. Also for the microphone input, there is a low-cut filter that refines the sound and a noise gate the works to automatically clean up any sound issues and unwanted background noises.

You can load either your own samples or the TR drum sounds into the Serato Sampler’s four sample slots to produce on-the-fly beats for remixes and live performances, you can program beats using the 202’s 16-step sequencer which is accessible via the performance pads, any beats you create will always be entirely in sync with your Serato tracks. Turn on the Instant-Record mode for real-time on-the-fly Serato Sampler sequencing, or you can make use of the MIDI output for effortlessly synching any MIDI-supported devices and instruments to your sequencer and Serato. For expanded production capabilities you can upgrade to Serato DJ Pro for access to 32 sync-able sampler slots over four banks, as well as the full collection of iZotope FX, software recording abilities and so much more.
