About this product
The Roland DJ-505 is a 2-deck Serato DJ controller with an integrated drum machine. Priced at $692.99, it targets DJs who want to incorporate live drum patterns into their sets. The controller is from Roland and features the DJ-505 model number. It offers advanced control for Serato DJ software.
Our take
The DJ-505 is a premium controller that seamlessly integrates a TR-style drum machine. The drum pads are excellent for finger drumming, and the sequencer is intuitive. Build quality is top-notch with a metal chassis and solid faders. Serato DJ Pro works flawlessly. The price is high, but you're paying for the unique drum machine integration. My only issues: it's heavy and bulky, and the crossfader feels a bit stiff. If you love adding live drums to your mixes, this is worth every penny.
