Roland has announced the DJ-707M DJ Controller, a four-channel, four-deck Serato DJ Pro controller. The DJ-707M is built to manage the needs of mobile DJs. The compact controller allows it to sit between turntables and DJ media players, and it is DVS Upgrade ready for component DJ set-ups.
DJ-707M contains a 24-bit/48 kHz audio interface with and Roland D/A conversion for the Master, Booth, and Zone outputs. It includes loudspeaker management featuring separate 4-Band output EQ, multiband compressor and limiter on each out. Built-in automatic feedback suppression listens for and anticipates feedback, adjusting speaker output automatically and preventing disruptions. Each assignable output’s separate EQ, multiband compressor, and limiter output settings can also be saved and recalled with 10 Scene Presets.
The DJ-707M features seven inputs, including front mounted auxiliary inputs for connecting instruments from guest musicians or two additional microphones. The DJ-707M features two XLR microphone inputs. Each channel also has its own gain, low-cut switch, and noise gate, plus effects from reverbs and delays to key-based auto-pitching and auto-ducking. Dual USB inputs allow up to two instances of Serato to be run on separate computers, creating seamless transitions between DJs or backup rigs. Its USB input can also be used to connect an iOS device for music playback.
Dedicated Serato DJ Pro controls allow for creation and triggering of hot cues, loops, effects, drum patterns, and samples, plus switching between four Serato decks. Roland’s hardware effects can be assigned individually to the dedicated hardware Filter/FX knob to finesse blends or accentuate scratches. DJ-707M’s standalone mixer allows computer-free performance using CDJs, turntables, mics, and more.
Driven by the sound of Roland’s TR-909 and TR-808 drum machines, the DJ-707M also contains launchable preset rhythms for adding punch to classic tracks, crafting transitions, or creating accompaniment for instrumentalists. Other on-board OSC sound effects include sweepers and synth stabs.
Roland’s DJ-707M DJ Controller costs $999.
