I originally wanted a DJ-808 but, size is an issue at the moment so, eventually. I just got this 505 & it has only been a month but, I can't wait for this to become 2nd nature! Such a decent portable size. Thanks to the TRS, I am working on setting up my studio. I'm hoping to link up a Maschine MK3 soon with maybe a synth n stuff. I know the MK3 has an interface but, I'm looking at the M-Audio 192/4 with the midi inputs & I was wondering if midi I/O is necessary for an interface? Or, will like a Komplete or, EVO 4 with just a USB to PC just fine? I don't want to get the wrong product. Probably going to go with a keyboard controller but, that's another question I had. Should I also consider midi inputs on the keyboard also? So that everything can communicate with my DJ-505? Also, does the 505 have an internal clock?
i've got a few Roland groovebox ...and use a Roland Dj505...so getting the best of both worlds with the drum machine ....looks easier to use than the 202 too
I'm debating on picking this up or the Pioneer DDJ 800/1000 just for the reliability and universal platform. The 1000 is out of stock and much more expensive and the 800 is only 2 channels but both have the full sized pitch sliders which I really like. I'm only going to do live streaming with it not actual club performance so this might fit the bill.
Some questions: Can we midi map it for traktor? (100% midi mapable?) How to use pitch n time - with fx knob? (808 has a key) TRS is missing 4 Faders (like on the 808)How to tune in the TRS?
My play button plays when it wants to on my 505, is it the button or something else? This caused me embarrassment at an event and cost me an expo tomorrow
I was wondering as well... Then I had a look into the PDF manual. And it's really disappointing ! Operating the mic FX is actually VERY cumbersome to : you actually don't have ANY live possibilities with the mic input on the DJ-505 ! You have no other choice than "tweak" the settings through the System Settings procedure, i.e. power on the unit while pressing "Load A", then hit the 1-4 buttons on the TR-S to set the low pass, noise gate, effect, and effect value, respectively. Damn Roland ! They put plenty of knobs on the VT-3 section of the DJ-808, but here you have absolutely ZERO chance to live-edit the mic sound on the DJ-505. Very odd and very weird design choices, to say the least !
friend I would like to know which speakers are better than JBL eon 610,612,615. They are the ones I currently have and I want to buy something higher in power but at a similar price. Greetings from Veracruz, Mexico.
Hello Michael, you can look into the QSC K12-2, RCF ART-745, EV EKX 15P SERIES. we have them all on our site if you do need links to the packaged bundles feel free to email me at richp@idjnow.com thanks, Rich P.
Thank you for the feedback Howard. We are excited about the gear and try to pack lots of info into a bite sized video, but will take your suggestion for sure.
Sir I have been using this product for few years while playing for the gig its freeze thought my laptop issue changed my laptop but problem seems with the Controller from beginning how can I solve this problem
Hello Hagen, well a couple of things to consider, your laptop if its an older model with an older OS and you are running a current serato software it can cause issues however if you are running a new OS and or laptop keep in mind sometimes controllers in general do require update themselves such as audio drivers and or firmware updates. these can help drastically. you can also reach out to serato.com if your still have difficulties if you have done all the necessary updates on your laptop and or controller. hope this helps. Thank you
Hi , could the sounds of the drum machine be change just like the sampler pads? Im from puerto rico we use reggaeton kicks and snares so i wont use the roland samples .... its posible?
dont get the 808 everyone i know stopped useding the Voice Transformer thats its selling point , its all about the drum machine the Voice Transformer is nice but gets old fast ......just get the 505 you will be happy
best controller ive ever owned easily on another level of creativity
this wasn't even on my radar. BUT now it is!
Facts
Bruh I was looking at a ns7 I think this jus changed my mind the built in drum machine alone won me over super dope
That was nasty. I'm gettin one. Tomorrow! Nice demo!
WTF... Congrats to Matt. Great Demo! That showed me more about this controller than any other review out there...
You convinced me to buy DJ 202, at Sam Ash 34th Street on tuesday... but I got DJ 505,
Time to have fun... Tony
Are you still enjoying it? I'm thinking about picking it up.
My grandpa loved your watch
Great demo. Now I wish I just bought this instead of the TR-8. Best of both worlds.
Hey Dreux,
if you want a good deal when your ready plz reach out to deals@idjnow.com and we will see what we can do for you.
Thx
@@idjnow-gear-up Will do, thanks.
pioneer must be sweating right now... Roland is a beast.. it can outmatch any brand in the market when it comes to sound quality "true sound" quality.

Fantastic demo. Pioneer ddjsx2 sold and this purchased...
i've got a few Roland groovebox ...and use a Roland Dj505...so getting the best of both worlds with the drum machine ....looks easier to use than the 202 too
The DJ-505 is definitely a good mix of both worlds!
I can’t wait for Holiday season! I know what I’m buying myself! Haha

Yoo

This is so cool
Nice video, thx for the introduction
Some questions:
Can we midi map it for traktor? (100% midi mapable?)
How to use pitch n time - with fx knob? (808 has a key)
TRS is missing 4 Faders (like on the 808)How to tune in the TRS?
And why do the jogwheels have no led display? (like on the 808)
Does idnowing do delivery in Brazil?
My play button plays when it wants to on my 505, is it the button or something else? This caused me embarrassment at an event and cost me an expo tomorrow
Got it cookin !!!!
The Mic??? I can't figure out how to use the fx for the mic. Could you do a little demo on how to use the mic fx?
I was wondering as well... Then I had a look into the PDF manual. And it's really disappointing !

every pro set if it says it on the box or info
Do this have effects for the mic
I didn't come here for this. Just being nosey. Glad I did. I want
Is it possible to get a mapping for Traktor for these Roland DJ series? & can I sync this to an MX1 as the master?
Hello H-Dawg,
for that you would have to reach out to native instruments and see if they do provide a mapping file for that.
Thx
I'm mixing hardcore music so I'm not really using drums, so il was asking myself if it's possible to setup your own sound On pads ?
Yes, you can set up one-shots, etc through the software.
can we mix songs on headphones and listen to each deck individually on this controller ?
The DJ-505 does indeed have CUE control.
Thank you!

Wow
Just got mine
joe pope you like? Can't decide if the 808 is that much better? Probably go with the 505
Yeah it’s dope 505 the jog wheels feel just like turntables it’s more portable and looks good to look at
Would you recommend the DJ Pioneer 400 or Roland?
Hi , could the sounds of the drum machine be change just like the sampler pads? Im from puerto rico we use reggaeton kicks and snares so i wont use the roland samples .... its posible?
Dj Bebo you can adjust the samples to sound however you like.
What's the difference between the505 nad the 808 controller?
808 has 4 channel mixer. 505 has only 2. Also the 808 has displays in the jog wheels, the 505 does not. But that same info also displays in Serato.
dont get the 808 everyone i know stopped useding the Voice Transformer
thats its selling point , its all about the drum machine the Voice Transformer is nice but gets old fast ......just get the 505 you will be happy
nice price...
How did you do that pitch n time with fx knob? Midi map?
yessir... Can midi map any feature in SDJ, this one in particular is 'hidden' and only accessible when you enter MIDI map mode.
I just bought a 505 and checking some videos out to get some ideas... That trick using the knob and the P&T is pretty cool!
Indeed pretty dope, might do the same on my DJ-808 (it has dedicated PnT buttons, but I would rather use those for beat jump < and >)
