Roland DJ-202 Controlador para DJ

Roland DJ-202 — Compact Serato Controller with Built-In TR Drum Machine

The Roland DJ-202 is a two-channel, four-deck Serato DJ Lite controller that packs a pro workflow into a rugged, portable chassis. Built for DJs who want to mix, scratch, and produce beats on the fly, it preserves the concept of Roland's flagship DJ-808 and DJ-505. The unit ships with Serato DJ Lite and is upgrade-ready to Serato DJ Pro.

What Sets This Controller Apart

What makes this controller unique is Roland's patented Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology, which faithfully recreates the original circuitry of the TR-808, TR-909, TR-707, and TR-606 drum machines. An onboard 16-step sequencer drives both the built-in TR sounds and Serato DJ Lite's sampler, letting DJs build and trigger beats without leaving the controller.

Compact Footprint, Pro-Grade Audio

Built for mobile DJs who need a controller that disappears into a backpack but still sounds serious on a club system.

• Width: 478 mm — fits above a laptop on any setup
• Depth: 297 mm — room for a 13-inch laptop beside the platters
• Weight: 2.1 kg — light enough for one-handed carry
• Audio Fidelity: 24-bit / 48 kHz with high-resolution DACs and a 20 Hz–22 kHz frequency response

Performance Pads, Sequencer, and TR Drum Sounds

Eight dedicated performance pads switch between Hot Cue, Loop, Sequencer, and Sampler modes to control Serato DJ Lite or Serato DJ Pro.

• Performance Pads: 8 pads with Hot Cue, Loop, Sequencer, and Sampler modes
• TR Drum Kits: TR-808, TR-909, TR-707, TR-606 — eight sounds each via ACB modeling
• Sequencer: 16-step onboard sequencer with Inst-Rec mode for live pattern capture
• Sampler Control: Independent sampler volume for blending TR sounds with playback

Connectivity and Vocal Processing

USB bus power means a single cable runs the whole show, while the dedicated MIDI OUT port syncs external gear like Roland AIRA instruments to the sequencer.

• Power: USB bus power at 500 mA — no external adapter needed
• Mic Input: 1/4-inch TS with gate, hi-pass, reverb, and echo FX
• Master Output: RCA stereo at 2.0 Vrms nominal level
• MIDI OUT: 5-pin DIN for syncing external MIDI devices to the sequencer

Who This Controller Is For

The Roland DJ-202 is the right choice for beginner to intermediate DJs who want to scratch, remix, and lay down beats in a single setup. It suits bedroom producers exploring house, hip-hop, and trap, mobile DJs needing a lightweight rig for house parties and small gigs, and music students who want hands-on experience with both DJing and beat sequencing. Slip mode, dedicated Play/Pause and Cue buttons, and a full-size crossfader give it the feel of a higher-tier unit.

The Roland TR Drum Machine Legacy

From the unmistakable hi-hats of the TR-909 to the foundation-shaking boom of the TR-808, Roland TR drum machines have defined the sound of entire genres — hip-hop, house, techno, and electro in the 1980s and 1990s, right up to today's trap. Using ACB technology, this unit puts those same iconic sounds into a portable DJ controller.
