The Roland DJ-202 is a professional, compact 2-channel DJ controller with four decks for Serato DJ Lite. Inspired by Roland's flagship DJ-808 and DJ-505, it enables DJing, remixing and creating short beats in real time. Two large jog wheels with minimal latency offer precise control, ideal for scratching and mixing. This is complemented by performance pads for creative live performances. A microphone input with vocal effects opens up additional possibilities for integrating vocal effects into sets. The high-quality 24-bit/48 kHz audio interface delivers clear, powerful sound for any sound system. A DIN MIDI port allows the integration of external MIDI devices, making the DJ-202 versatile in setup. Thanks to the plug-and-play functionality and the intuitive layout, a quick start is guaranteed. The mobile and robust design offers flexibility for use in live performances, in the studio or on the road. The Roland DJ-202 is therefore aimed at both beginners and experienced DJs who appreciate creative performance tools and mobility.
Roland DJ-202This is my first ever controller - As a complete beginner I find it over complicated (firmware updates etc.) and not very intuitive (general usage), it will take a bit of getting used to.
That being said it's a great bit of kit and I would recommend it!
I'm sure once i'm up to speed with it the software/stability/operation scores would increase.
The hardcoded TR Sequencer with the Roland Instruments, along with the combination of a Software Samples is probably the reason to buy this unit. Other than that, its a decent DJ Controller, but really, the TR Sequencer is making the unit unique.
Firm jogwheels, better than any other similarly priced controller (DDJ-400/Mixtrack Pro) imo. Capacitive touch on the top and nudge on the side is nice, and reminiscent of more expensive CDJ units.
Everything is sensibly laid out and more or less where you'd expect it to be.
The 808/909 sequencer is a nice feature, but a little difficult to program and I wouldn't want to do this on-the-fly live - I mostly use it to have a four-to-the-floor kick pattern to hand to add a punch, especially over transitions.
For any producers out there, I have this controller on my desk in my home studio and it's been really useful in Logic Pro X (or whatever DAW you use) as all controls are mappable to parameters as control surfaces. Super useful to have an extra 16 knobs to hand!
1/4" jack outputs as well as RCA would be nice, but this is quite standard and not really an issue. Mic input is 1/4" jack only, no XLR.
You should note that this deck used to come with Serato DJ Pro software, but now only comes with Serato DJ Lite. Lite is useable for learning basics or if you're in a pinch but lacks some key features like fully-functioned beatmapping and even the option to show the key of each track, so you end up 'going in blind' to tracks if you don't already know what key they're in before you load them. Serato DJ Pro is £65 extra, but if you're using it a lot I would suggest that buying this is worth it over a cheaper controller.
