Roland DJ-808 Price Drop Now With Free Sample Pack

The DJ-808 is a state-of-the-art DJ controller with a 4-channel mixer, built-in drum sequencing, vocal processing, and the deepest Serato DJ integration available. Going way beyond a typical DJ controller, the DJ-808 is an instrument, with a Roland “TR-S” drum machine that contains the world’s most iconic drum sounds and can even control the Serato Sampler within Serato DJ.

The VT Voice Transformer can pitch your voice to match the key of your Serato DJ tracks, while two AIRA Link ports let you connect compatible synths and electronic gadgets, and produce a live remix, with just a simple USB cable. Sound quality is high-end and the hardware is built tough yet easy to carry ready for inspired sets that push the boundaries of what it means to DJ.

In appreciation of DJ-808 owners, Roland has collaborated with ADSR to bring you a free sample pack for the DJ-808! The production team at ADSR took to the sampling duties to bring you a customized set of 32 classic Roland TR series drum machine samples for use with the Roland DJ-808 and the Serato Sampler.

These custom sounds were sampled directly from a TR-606, TR-707, TR-909, and TR-808 through a classic E-MU Emulator III XP and the ubiquitous Roland MV-8800. All samples were then parallel processed through a series of analog outboard gear, including the Thermionic Culture Vulture, OTO Machines Biscuit, and BOSS DS-1 for some serious saturation and drive.

Simply click on the download link below and add the free sample pack to your basket via the ADSR site. Drag and drop these samples into the Serato Sampler to get started. With the Roland DJ-808 TR-S sequencer connected you can immediately begin creating interesting new beats and rhythms. Push the boundaries of the TR-S drum machine with the ability to layer any of the 32 new TR custom samples on top of pre-existing patterns, or create entirely new ones.
