The legacy of Roland drum machines in a DJ Controller
From the instantly recognizable hi-hats of the TR-909 to the floor-shaking boom of the TR-808, Roland's 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 entirely up to today's trap music. With Roland's patented ACB (Analog Circuit Behavior) technology, the DJ-202 recreates the original sound of these machines, giving you the tools to create rhythm tracks with the same palette of sound used by the world's leading musical icons. The DJ-202's expanded catalog of TR sounds includes kick drum, snare drum, closed hi-hat, open hi-hat, tom, rhyme, clap and ride, providing a wide range of possibilities for creating layered drum sounds and sequences , which develops.
Mixing and Scratching
Convincing scratch and cue using the DJ-202's large low-latency discs - the absolute best in its class. Dedicated Serato DJ Intro controls allow quick creation and triggering of hot cues, loops and samples, as well as fast switching between four decks with the Deck Select button. Use the channels' filters or Serato FX (accessible via three FX select buttons per deck) for refined blends or accentuated scratching. And with dedicated Play/Pause and Cue buttons, you have the same direct control found on high-end controllers and standalone audio players.
Bring life to the vocals
Add new life to your DJ voice, radio drops, guest vocals or external instruments via 1/4” TS mic input with built-in reverb and echo effect Other vocal effects include lo-cut EQ that improves the sound and a noise gate that can automatically clean up sound problems and remove unwanted background noise.
Remix. Producer. Perform.
Use the TR drums or your own sounds loaded into the Serato Sampler's four sampler inputs (with individual sampler volume controls) to create the base for remixes and beats or for live performance. Program them using the DJ-202's 16-step sequencer - accessible via performance pads - then automatically sync them to your Serato library to create unique transitions, live remixes or beef up classic tracks. Activate Inst-Rec mode to - on the spot and in real time - activate Serato Sampler Sequencing or use the MIDI output to sync MIDI-supported peripherals and instruments to your sequencer and Serato DJ Intro. If you want to expand your production capacity, you upgrade to Serato DJ and thus gain access to 32 synchronizable sampler slots spread over four banks, the entire iZotope FX collection, the option of recording via recording software and much more.
