- Daniel from Roland stopped by PSSL to provide an awesome overview of the new DJ-808 with insights on the built-in drum machine, mixer, VT technology and Roland's first-ever partnership with Serato DJ.
For more info, visit: www.pssl.com/Ro...
The DJ-808 is a state-of-the-art DJ controller with a 4-channel mixer, built-in drum sequencing, vocal processing, and the deepest Serato DJ integration available. Going way beyond a typical DJ controller, the DJ-808 is an instrument, with a Roland “TR-S” drum machine that contains the world’s most iconic drum sounds and can even control the Serato Sampler within Serato DJ. The VT Voice Transformer can pitch your voice to match the key of your Serato DJ tracks, while dual Aira link ports let you connect compatible synths and electronic gadgets, and produce a live remix, with just a simple USB cable. Sound quality is high-end and the hardware is built tough yet easy to carry-ready for inspired sets that push the boundaries of what it means to DJ.
Just got this and it's amazing! I'm a retired farmer, now in Toronto, making house tracks on this thing and it's a dream, if a little intimidating, as I'm jumping from vinyl and a pioneer 909 to this monster. Wish me luck and thanks for the video!
thanks for your input. my traktor s4 is dying. i'm now 90% buying this tomorrow
Best video of this controller on YT. CONGRATULATIONS!
Just got this on eBay auction for $610. I’m vvvv excited!
Congratulations and I hate you :)
maybe the best explanation of it's features on youtube right now.
TO EASY, this is the controller for me.THANKYOU i ended up with a machine mk3 with komplete 11 which was a nightmare, for a music lover in his 50s i just wanted to play tunes after a few drinks n not stress about a laptop
One of the best explaining for Dj808
AT LAST A GREAT REVIEW.... Thank You from Spain...
Great review ❤

Thank you! Good to catch you in Vegas this week

Using the stems from Serrato is cool
Best Pure Review on CZcams ...!!!!👌👌👍👍
Man I bought the SZ2 and wish I would've bought this.
3 years later I sell my SZ2 to buy this!!!
I'm complete now.
Am so amazed with the cool features 👍
what a great review and demo, thanks!
If you purchased a pre-owned controller can you still register the product for the free lessons through Roland website?
Appreciate the input 👌

Hi! quick Q, when you hi the pause button it makes a cool sound of the "record" slowing to stop? mine doesnt do that? how can i get that? what setting? thanks in advance
Anyone know if the Serato zoom in/out (laptop keyboard + - keys) can be operated directly from the controller please?
How many sounds there are from TR-S drums? For every 606,707,808, 909 drum machine there are their own bass, snare, hats; so it's 4 sound x 4 drum machines?
with the latest software update it has basically become those four units in full.
Does anyone know how to add synchronized keyboard arpeggios to the DJ-808 or at least hook up and use a keyboard such as the Akai MPK249?
The arpeggio would have to be on the actual unit. You also couldn't use an external midi controller to control the TR-S portion of the controller (it would only control Serato itself)
@descry1 Honest mate its Aria ports on the back , Ableton link , Midi Send - recieve - control via ports n Usb , Asio ins , outs ,Rec's , Bus Channels , Seperate TRS channels , Sample bank channels All via Asio , or DirectX at same time or Virtual Jack wrappers Custom Routing however you want it , Physical in - outs - data's - opticals - Sopports ALL kind of Midi modes, Routing controlling or being Slave with fully Top class physical Hardware Soundcard in it (Real Roland chips and PCB not like simple drivers other controllers have ) So Quality nice sounding lowest latency , no software audio glitchy problems like so called All in ones ( open up a ***neer and youl see what i mean ) Its superior in All connection Material qualities , Snr , Customiseable Everything by Turning it on holding the button down to enter Your special service mode (and i mean every little Pad or feature or vol or outpu has every kind of Feature you could imagine .... even out put of ya boot Jack if ya want to use it can have low shelf at30hz 50 or 60 or so just by turning one dial to number ya want and pressin enter - different signals output bitrates 44 48 96 and deptchs you wanna use change or not touch its TRULY Unbelievable - ive owned cdjNX's setups , Techins mk2' s , 3's , SSx all in ones and you dont even Dream of getting What this ROLAND PROVIDES - Just goog search the Owner Manual and simply Go to the page thats slight green shade near the back and look at that table of things you can change instantly anytime you want ( with no pc or mac or rebooting anythin else because the roland is hardware inside and jusys ok all Done as soon as you tell it anything you want ) Google "dj808 king of controllers" youll see vids pics pop up showin ya blatentnumbers and statements showing ya just how it destroys other brands -- You wont see anyone saying it much tho Like an advert as nowadays they dont even mention stuff on ads Like weather the audio cable conns are balanced shielded or latency on platters whilst underload at 96Khz 32bit Float whilst Running A couple of Synths plugged in the back with all decks blazing and your Pc asio config and Daw all Still smashing it at 30ms with only a 256 buffer Smooth and always Rock solid ................... oh yeah sorry they cant because they know they havent got a hope , they just show someone dancing n nodding in a room and a montage and monopolise Advert space and look good ( until you end up on their support Page ---- truth then be tech speccing you in thier Reply that wont change what you bought ) JUST GO LOOK TECH SPECS ON OWNERS MANUALS pdf's on their sites you can look at any product in the world ya dont have to buy anything or ask on a Forum Real qualified people go to - Like GearSluts , Attack Magazine etc , Dont trust anyones channel or some Reddit reply , its actually shocking what people will write not knowing how Wrong they are - its actually stoppin people learn things they need and waste weeks before they realise it wasnt true and thats why ya not learned anything new -- Much Luv ( And yes all my decks , Past events in main rooms like ministry of sound or warehouse raves playing to a thousand peopl , club Flyers , Years of equipment and Radio Shows and college audio bits and years of a musical life are ALL on My Public Fb and nice pic of my Roland808 and a lot of pion**rs being rubbish or good over decade or so )
SO YOU KNOW IM AN ACTUAL OWNER AND AM TELLING YOU 100% TRUTH N FACTS - THIS THING WILL SYNC WITH TEN ARPEGGIO'S AND MAKE YOU A COFFEE AT THE SAME TIME AS IT PRANK CALLS REKORDBOX OWNERS AND LAUGHS AT THEM lol
fab video man wish you were uk based to help me master this Beast buddy :)
What a lovely controller! Such a pitty it wasn’t made for Traktor tho 😬
DVS system maaan
Another question, how would you use the Pitch Slider if you wanted to do the Keylock and increase increment of 25% 50% and so on?
Keylock is done via Pitch N Time plug-in (included with DJ-808). If you activate it, the key will not change, just the tempo. Additionally, you can Key Sync tracks using the dedicated button on the controller. To increase pitch range, hold SHIFT + DOWN/UP buttons (located in key sync section of each deck)
Looking to buy one ..... how do you change the jog wheel light from green to red
the green jog wheel light is for decks 1 and 2. when you switch to deck 3 or 4, the jog wheel light turns red
Isn't there any UK Based Instructors who can help teach me more on this Incredible device?
So my only question is, what does a Tr-8, Tr-8s have that this doesn't?
more sounds, step loop, etc
@@descry1 Hmm what sounds? I thought this strip included 505-909 kits as well. Do you mean less ability to alter them?
I've been wanting a tr8 for a few years but i need a controller now as well and im wondering if this built in kit is enough to use as a stand alone or if id be better off buying them separately.
@@AllenSmithe with the latest software update it's a no brainer to get the dj 808, it has basically nullified the tr-8s
@@AllenSmithe the dj-808 doesn't nullify the tr-8s sounds, but it's like a "best of" from that drum machine. you could use this as a stand alone piece, and guys like Marley Waters have created tracks with just the TR-S on the DJ-808.
@@Lalaland.001 not exactly, the tr-8s can do 11 sounds at once with volume faders, can do fills, scatter, master fx and knob automation through something called motion
How do you get turn on the break effect in the 808 for serato
it's in settings, then on the main setup tab called "dj preferences" you'll see something that says STOP. You move the "horseshoe" up like you would sampler volume in serato. I'd recommend somewhere between 9'oclock and 10'oclock if you look at that dial like a clock
is it just me or are the pots and pitch fader wobble and not stiff? just got one today and its a bit worrisome
Been traveling with my DJ-808 for about a year and 1/2 now...haven't had any issues
So the usb In the back CAN NOT!! I repeat CAN NOT!? Work with any usb devise? Drum machine controller? Huge ball drop. HuGE :(
wtf are you talking about
ur badazz
How much

5 years later I se this and I am sooo disappointed. this was a presentation of an awesome drum machine. I have not seen a bit of actual music being enhanced by this. Even the voice contrller he skipped over it like it wa too hot to handle
This machine is a great engineering feat but this, engineering, is the method, not the purpose. The purose is to enable DJs , to mix MUSIC tracks and enhance them with the drum machiune. Where is all that in this video? NOWHERE
