Roland DJ-505Easy to use and packed with easy to use features. Some reviews state the chassis is plastic but the decks are actually metal covered which makes the unit not only more durable, but even more value for money. Great sound quality. Recommended item.
I was excited for my order to arrive, which came in 6days from ordering. When I opened it up I wasn’t at all disappointed. It’s a great looking unit with loads of functionality and the added Trs beat pad is really cool, needless to say I was straight into mixing, after a short download of the software to my Mac. The large low latency pads are awesome for scratching and have a great feel to them. All in all it’s a really cool piece of kit and really easy to navigate.
The only downside to this unit is it feels a bit plastic and some of the knobs feel a little fragile at times.
Great controller, excellent value for money.
Very happy DJ
I'm very pleased to have the Roland DJ 505. Very good piece of software and the controller is easy to use. The drum machine is the real added value. If you want to combine production and mixing, this product is for you.
