General

The Roland DJ-505 is a comprehensive Serato DJ controller that includes samples from Roland's legendary TR-808, TR-909, TR-606 and TR-707 drum machines. This DJ controller comes complete with Serato DJ software including the Serato Tool Kit Licence and extra effects. The DJ-505 has two physical channels but is capable of controlling up to four decks at the same time. Its built-in mixer can be used with external equipment and there are line and phono inputs to connect devices like turntables or tabletop players.

Built-In Sequencer

The DJ-505 features a built-in 16-step sequencer to open up another dimension of your sets by triggering now-vintage Roland drum sounds or Serato samples, giving you endless options for live remixing. The drums are reproduced via Roland’s patented ACB (Analogue Circuit Behavior) technology to faithfully recreate that authentic sound and character. You even get the possibility to adjust the volume, attack, decay and tone of the drums to create dynamics and match your tracks.

Optimised for Scratching

When it comes to scratching, many DJ controllers don't do a great job. The DJ-505, however, is fitted with two low-latency platters, specially optimised for this purpose. The platters are topped with brushed aluminium plates that are not only durable, but highly responsive and with a great feel.

Dit is een fantastische DJ controller voor Serato. Wat zeg ik? Het is niet enkel een controller maar ook een mengpaneel, je kan er effectief ook twee analoge toestellen op aansluiten (cd/Phono). Ook de ingebouwde drumcomputer is fantastisch, zeker in combinatie met de sampler van Serato. Een echte allrounder voor een interessante prijs. Als tip kan ik alvast meegeven dat Tidal vlot werkt met Serato.

Ik heb deze nu 1 jaar in bezit, in deze tijd 1 keer aangeboden voor reparatie (onder garantie-voorwaarden). Mijn bevindingen

+ hoeveelheid aansluitingen voor externe spelers (zo is het mogelijk om 2 platen spelers aan te sluiten, en middels een schakelaar naar deze spelers te schakelen)
+ midi-out aansluiting
+ de bijgeleverde software (Serato dj Pro. Deze functioneerd naar mijn mening beter als Rekordbox)
+ ingebouwde sampler
+ mixer en sampler zijn stand-alone te gebruiken
+ uniek apparaat dat je niet veel ziet
+ makkelijke knoppen indeling als je van een willekeurig ander merk af komt (het voelt dus gewoon natuurlijk aan)
+ 4 channel level balkjes: l+r kanaal 1 en l+r kanaal 2

- niet stand-alone (als je dus 'gewoon' wilt draaien)
- tempo fader 2 was binnen een half jaar 'gebroken' (maar wel weer onder garantie door Roland gefixed)
- hoeveelheid bijpassende tassen/cases en stofkappen is vrij klein (ik gebruik zelf als stofkap een kleine keyboardhoes van Fazley)
- vrij korte tempo-faders (vergelijkbaar met de lengte van de tempo-faders van de Pioneer controllers in deze prijsklasse)


Ik kom zelf van Rekordbox af, dus Serato was even wennen, maar nu wil ik voor geen goud meer terug! De problemen met hangende software is in de meeste gevallen veroorzaakt door een te oude/zwakke pc/laptop. Mijn specs (waarmee hij als een zonnetje loopt):
AMD Ryzen 5 5600
Nvidia GTX1060 (6gb)
2x 16GB DDR4
Muziek bibliotheek en Serato op een M2 SSD staan, deze zit rechtstreeks in het moederbord

Met bovenstaande kom ik tot een delay van 2ms (met internet aan/auto-updates Windows uit), dus ook daar is weinig van te zeggen.

Al met al een prima controller voor deze prijs, waar ik absoluut geen spijt van heb. Al zitten er voor Roland wel een aantal kleine 'verbeterpunten' aan.

+ Veel mogelijkheden
+ Drumcomputer
- Software crasht veel, waardoor deze controller in mijn ogen niet geschikt is voor live optredens
