thanks for your input. my traktor s4 is dying. i'm now 90% buying this tomorrow

Congratulations and I hate you :)

Thank you! Good to catch you in Vegas this week

Using the stems from Serrato is cool

Keylock is done via Pitch N Time plug-in (included with DJ-808). If you activate it, the key will not change, just the tempo. Additionally, you can Key Sync tracks using the dedicated button on the controller. To increase pitch range, hold SHIFT + DOWN/UP buttons (located in key sync section of each deck)

The arpeggio would have to be on the actual unit. You also couldn't use an external midi controller to control the TR-S portion of the controller (it would only control Serato itself)

@descry1 Honest mate its Aria ports on the back , Ableton link , Midi Send - recieve - control via ports n Usb , Asio ins , outs ,Rec's , Bus Channels , Seperate TRS channels , Sample bank channels All via Asio , or DirectX at same time or Virtual Jack wrappers Custom Routing however you want it , Physical in - outs - data's - opticals - Sopports ALL kind of Midi modes, Routing controlling or being Slave with fully Top class physical Hardware Soundcard in it (Real Roland chips and PCB not like simple drivers other controllers have ) So Quality nice sounding lowest latency , no software audio glitchy problems like so called All in ones ( open up a ***neer and youl see what i mean ) Its superior in All connection Material qualities , Snr , Customiseable Everything by Turning it on holding the button down to enter Your special service mode (and i mean every little Pad or feature or vol or outpu has every kind of Feature you could imagine .... even out put of ya boot Jack if ya want to use it can have low shelf at30hz 50 or 60 or so just by turning one dial to number ya want and pressin enter - different signals output bitrates 44 48 96 and deptchs you wanna use change or not touch its TRULY Unbelievable - ive owned cdjNX's setups , Techins mk2' s , 3's , SSx all in ones and you dont even Dream of getting What this ROLAND PROVIDES - Just goog search the Owner Manual and simply Go to the page thats slight green shade near the back and look at that table of things you can change instantly anytime you want ( with no pc or mac or rebooting anythin else because the roland is hardware inside and jusys ok all Done as soon as you tell it anything you want ) Google "dj808 king of controllers" youll see vids pics pop up showin ya blatentnumbers and statements showing ya just how it destroys other brands -- You wont see anyone saying it much tho Like an advert as nowadays they dont even mention stuff on ads Like weather the audio cable conns are balanced shielded or latency on platters whilst underload at 96Khz 32bit Float whilst Running A couple of Synths plugged in the back with all decks blazing and your Pc asio config and Daw all Still smashing it at 30ms with only a 256 buffer Smooth and always Rock solid ................... oh yeah sorry they cant because they know they havent got a hope , they just show someone dancing n nodding in a room and a montage and monopolise Advert space and look good ( until you end up on their support Page ---- truth then be tech speccing you in thier Reply that wont change what you bought ) JUST GO LOOK TECH SPECS ON OWNERS MANUALS pdf's on their sites you can look at any product in the world ya dont have to buy anything or ask on a Forum Real qualified people go to - Like GearSluts , Attack Magazine etc , Dont trust anyones channel or some Reddit reply , its actually shocking what people will write not knowing how Wrong they are - its actually stoppin people learn things they need and waste weeks before they realise it wasnt true and thats why ya not learned anything new -- Much Luv ( And yes all my decks , Past events in main rooms like ministry of sound or warehouse raves playing to a thousand peopl , club Flyers , Years of equipment and Radio Shows and college audio bits and years of a musical life are ALL on My Public Fb and nice pic of my Roland808 and a lot of pion**rs being rubbish or good over decade or so ) SO YOU KNOW IM AN ACTUAL OWNER AND AM TELLING YOU 100% TRUTH N FACTS - THIS THING WILL SYNC WITH TEN ARPEGGIO'S AND MAKE YOU A COFFEE AT THE SAME TIME AS IT PRANK CALLS REKORDBOX OWNERS AND LAUGHS AT THEM lol

with the latest software update it has basically become those four units in full.

the green jog wheel light is for decks 1 and 2. when you switch to deck 3 or 4, the jog wheel light turns red

it's in settings, then on the main setup tab called "dj preferences" you'll see something that says STOP. You move the "horseshoe" up like you would sampler volume in serato. I'd recommend somewhere between 9'oclock and 10'oclock if you look at that dial like a clock

Been traveling with my DJ-808 for about a year and 1/2 now...haven't had any issues

DVS system maaan

more sounds, step loop, etc

@@descry1 Hmm what sounds? I thought this strip included 505-909 kits as well. Do you mean less ability to alter them? I've been wanting a tr8 for a few years but i need a controller now as well and im wondering if this built in kit is enough to use as a stand alone or if id be better off buying them separately.

@@AllenSmithe with the latest software update it's a no brainer to get the dj 808, it has basically nullified the tr-8s

@@AllenSmithe the dj-808 doesn't nullify the tr-8s sounds, but it's like a "best of" from that drum machine. you could use this as a stand alone piece, and guys like Marley Waters have created tracks with just the TR-S on the DJ-808.

@@Lalaland.001 not exactly, the tr-8s can do 11 sounds at once with volume faders, can do fills, scatter, master fx and knob automation through something called motion

wtf are you talking about
