Roland Dj 808 Rekordbox
  • Roland DJ 808 is the brand’s first ever DJ controller. A model for Serato DJ, the 808 enjoys a four channel DJ controller layout along with a drum machine, vocal processor and a step sequencer. Indeed, it is fair to say that the 808 is more than a controller, it is a musical instrument in its own right.
  • Can't comment on the build quality of the Roland DJ-808. However, the min specs of Serato and Rekordbox seem to be identical. So, if you can run Serato already then you should be able to run the software for the DDJ-1000. You can always download the Rekordbox DJ software and run the trial to see if your laptop can handle it.

After revealing its foray into the DJ market with the DJ-808, Roland is keeping the announcements going with a new turntable and mixer. The TT-99 three-speed turntable boasts a direct drive system for stable torque and built-in phono equalizer, all housed in a commemorative aesthetic celebrating the Roland.

Matching on-the-move designs with supreme playability and heavyweight features, the FP-X series represents a fresh generation of portable pianos.

Everything is mapped logically! However, one of the new and hidden features is long press fx tap beat for auto bpm :) SamplerTapBpm and Master(Sampler) is mapped the same way. (I forgot to translate the feedback for those.) Also, shift + rotary browse is wave zoom. Shift + Fx rotary selects the release effect. Fx rotary press turns on the release fx. Shift+Cue jumps to track start. Shift + Jog scratch track search is awesome.
I made shift modifiers for filter knobs that activate/deactivate 4 of rekordbox filters(jet, space, crush, filter). Center and left position turn off the filter; holding down shift and turning a filter knob to the right turns on the filter.
My work here shows that less complex controllers can be easily mapped up to 100% with all Pioneer Hardware exclusive features. As long as you have a Mac.. There is a windows alternative, Bome MIDI Translator Classic that can do a few things the Mac version does but in the case of this controller, it would not work.

Next on the to-do list: Mapping the pads and translating the coloured feedback. Some of the feedback for pads is mapped, however the colors are not quite right and the input needs to be converted which I haven't had time to do yet.
My trial of rekordbox ended, that's why I'll be inactive for a while.
If you like my work and/or have a disposable license of rekordbox laying around feel free to donate me
