The Roland DJ-202 is a two-channel, four-deck Serato DJ Lite controller that combines the layout and features of a full-size professional unit with a compact, USB-powered design. It integrates a built-in drum machine with sounds from Roland's legendary TR-808, TR-909, TR-707, and TR-606 rhythm machines, recreated with Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology.

Built-in TR Drum Machine

The DJ-202 puts genuine Roland TR drum sounds directly into a DJ controller. Eight instruments (Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Closed Hat, Open Hat, Tom, Rim, Clap, and Ride) can be programmed via a 16-step sequencer accessible through the performance pads. You can sequence the built-in drums or Serato Sampler slots, and sync everything to your track tempo automatically. Real-time Inst-Rec mode lets you finger-drum beats on the fly, and twelve selectable kits give you access to the full range of classic TR tones. A MIDI output syncs external hardware to the sequencer and Serato clock.

The microphone input includes professional vocal effects: gate, high-pass filter, reverb, and echo. Eight dedicated pads support Hot Cue, Loop, Sequencer, and Sampler modes. Large, low-latency platters handle scratching and mixing with precision, and the entire unit runs on USB bus power for single-cable setup.
