● Drum sounds and step sequencer with ACB equivalent to TR-8
The DJ-808 includes the same ACB technology as the TR-8, including bass drums, snare drums, hi-hat, etc. In addition to the TR-808 and TR-909, the DJ-808 also includes the TR-707, TR-909, TR-708, TR-708, TR-909, TR-707, TR-908, TR-909, TR-708, and TR-708. TR-707 and TR-606 sounds are also included. Each sound can be played using the step sequencer and volume fader corresponding to the traditional TR-REC, and can be fully synchronized with the serato DJ tempo, as well as with the DJ-808's unique functions, such as playing samples loaded into the serato DJ sampler using the step sequencer. The DJ-808 is also equipped with functions that are unique to the DJ-808.
The DJ-808 is also equipped with the VT-3's popular voice effectors, such as auto pitch and reverb.
The DJ-808 includes a selection of voice effectors popular on the VT-3 voice transformer, including standard reverbs and reverbs, as well as a reverb. In addition to standard reverbs, the DJ-808 offers tricky expressions with the independently controllable PITCH and FORMANT. In addition, AUTO PITCH, which has become a standard voice effect, can detect the key information of the song being played on serato DJ and automatically set the scale.
Synchronized performance with Roland hardware via AIRA LINK
The DJ-808 also functions as a platform for AIRA LINK, which enables transmission and reception of audio and synchronization signals via a single USB cable, making it possible to synchronize the latest Roland gear such as the AIRA series and JD-X series with serato DJ in real time without difficult settings. The hardware audio is controlled by the mixer's 3-way audio output. Since the hardware audio is launched on 3 or 4 channels of the mixer, you can use the faders to control the volume and apply effects built into the DJ-808, just as you would with audio from a PC. Easy hardware installation and seamless synchronization with software provide new performance possibilities for PCDJ.
