Full-sized Serato Control in a Portable Unit

The Roland DJ-202 packs the features and layout of a full-sized DJ controller into a rugged, portable unit. Along with complete command of Serato DJ Pro (included), the DJ-202 provides you with everything you need to produce beats on-the-fly while performing, including built-in TR-series drum sounds and an integrated sequencer. Eight dedicated pads and transport controls make triggering samples and performing stutters easy, while a pair of low-latency platters allow you to scratch with finesse. A mic input with onboard effects brings new life to your DJ voice, radio drops, guest vocals, or external instruments. The DJ-202 is ideal for mobile applications, house parties, club rocking, beat battles, and more.

Best-in-class mixing and scratching

Scratching on the Roland DJ-202 is easy, thanks to its large, low-latency platters — they feel as natural as old-school vinyl. The DJ-202’s dedicated transport controls allow for the quick creation and triggering of hot cues, loops, and samples, offering the same direct control that you’d normally associate with a high-end controller or standalone audio player. On top of that, the Deck Select button makes switching between the DJ-202’s four decks fast and easy. Three FX Select buttons on each deck grant access to channel filters or Serato FX.

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-202. From the speaker-blowing 808 bass drum to the unmistakable 909 open hi-hat, the DJ-202 arms you with the same sound palette that the grandmasters of electronic, dance, and hip-hop use. Dip into the Chicago Acid House sound with TR-707 and TR-606 sounds. The DJ-202’s expanded TR sounds include Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Closed Hat, Open Hat, Tom, Rim, Clap, and Ride — everything you need to produce supreme beats and sequences.

Deliver a jaw-dropping performance with real-time sequencing

Delivering an awe-inspiring performance with the DJ-202 is easy. You can use the built-in TR drums as a foundation, or load your own sounds into Serato Sampler’s four sample slots. Create engaging loops and beats using the DJ-202’s integrated 16-step sequencer, then sync them with your Serato library to produce unique transitions, live remixes, or turbocharged classic tracks. And the best part is, you can do all of this in real-time! We’ve also used the DJ-202’s MIDI output to sync MIDI-supported external devices to its sequencer and Serato DJ Pro.

EDIT AND RE-EDIT WITH LOOPS AND HOTCUES

Timing is everything, as they say. Jump to different parts of a track with cue points, depending on what the crowd needs. Because each is assigned to one of eight pads on each deck, you can play them like an instrument to seriously chop things up. Use loops for longer mixes or for more time to experiment. Everything will always be in sync with the beat, so you’ll never lose the groove.
