Our take
I've been using the Roland DJ-505 for a few weeks now, and it's a solid mid-range controller. The RGB backlit buttons are a nice touch for visibility in dark clubs, and the jog wheel illumination helps with cue points. The built-in mixer and sound card make setup simple, and the auto BPM function is handy for quick transitions. However, the 24-bit/48 kHz sampling rate feels a bit dated compared to competitors offering 96 kHz. The included case is a plus for portability, but the controller itself is somewhat plastic-y. Overall, a good choice for mobile DJs who want Roland's workflow without breaking the bank.
