Full-size Serato Control in a Portable Unit
The Roland DJ-202 packs the features and layout of a full-size DJ controller into a rugged, portable unit. Along with complete command of Serato DJ Pro (Serato DJ Lite is included), the Roland 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 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 Roland 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 Roland 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 Roland 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 its proprietary Analog Circuit Behavior technology, Roland painstakingly modeled its legendary TR-series drum machines and packed them into the Roland 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 Roland 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 Roland 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 Roland 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! At Sweetwater, we've also used the DJ-202's MIDI output to sync MIDI-supported external devices to its sequencer and Serato DJ Pro.
Premium streaming possibilities with Serato
